SEEN FROM YESTERDAY
Keeping secrets is easy when there’s no one to tell
Isolation phonograph records it oh so well
Enforced in solitude I stare at the wall
Understanding archetypes is like playing pinball

They tell you you’re winning but you don’t understand
It’s languishing anguish from a bright shiny man
Keeping to his scheming he’s oh so intense
Comprehending techno-geeks with more brains than sense

Summon up the darkness good cover for all sin
Creationism cretins wear suits made of tin
Epigraphic entities sleeping in their shells
Carmelites and neophytes find the joys of Hell

Fun Facts:
* The lyrics for this song were written 14th – 16th January 2012.
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. 🙂
* When Pete sang his part, his timing was somewhat atemporal and required a fair amount of moving and stretching.
