100% Endurance

(album: The Overload - 2022)

I was woken by a bang
And I could already taste the pain
The sudden fear that grips and shapes you
When you face the truth
Whose sofa was this?
Where were my shoes?
What did we do last night?
I don't remember leaving Nathan's house

Ah yeah, how could I forget
Why my pants were soaking wet?
When we'd been pissing ourselves
Laughing at the news
Did you see it too?
It was incredible
They played it on a loop, we couldn't believe it
Basically, they'd discovered

That there were others just like us
Other beings, other creatures
Other planets with other species
Who had other gods that they believed in, and they
Interviewed all of them
And everyone of them, not one
Could give any hint of a clue
What they were doing here either

It's all so pointless, it is
And that's beautiful, l find it humbling, sincerely
And when you're gone
It brings me peace of mind to know
That this'll all just carry on
With someone else (someone else)
With something new (something new)
No need to be blue

Everything has already happened, time is an illusion

It's hippy bullshit but it's true
Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah

Now we're off to meet them
So pack your weapons
Don't want them thinking they can pull
A fast one on us, now do we Graeme? It's alright
I've fought more wars than I've had hot dinners
Sure you have, but the key to peace lies within us
And we'd already have achieved it
If everyone was as enlightened as me

It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
Watch me explode

It's all so pointless, ah
But it's not though is it?
It's really real and when you feel it
You can really feel it
Grab somebody that you love
Grab anyone who needs to hear it
And shake 'em by the shoulders
Scream in their face

Death is coming for us all, but not today
Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
Give it everything you've got knowing that you can't take it with you
And all you ever needed to exist has always been within you
Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
Cut it with a hundred percent endurance

It's all so pointless, sure is
And when you're gone
It makes me stronger knowing
That this will all just carry on
With someone else (Someone else)
Something new (Something new)
It's not like there's going to be nothing is it?
