about

On this track Matt plays a hollow body guitar, a steel string acoustic and a electric bass guitar.

lyrics

A lost Nation:
We are a Lost Nation
We feed every temptation
All I know is my people are orphanages
The only culture I have is running away
Palaces made from broken dreams
The poor they scream, but those screams are silenced
Deceit our only destiny
Do you think any of this has made any of us happy?

I would rather feel like I belong then sleep on silky sheets
And oh how I long
For the comfort in community
Luxury from treachery
Justifying apathy
Fortifying misery
Do you think any of this has made any of us happy?

Tread lightly
Be mindful
Be careful of what you wish for
All their temptations are just golden nightmares
And one day the tyrants will fall

I’m not sure what the point of this is
We stare into the abyss
A plastic wasteland
Debris from technology
Reminiscing to a time, when we worshiped the land.
Worshiped the mountains
The seas and the sand
Everything under this great blue sky
Oh how we worshipped nature

Nature is all that we will have
When the cracks start to appear
Just remember everything you slaved for
Everything that you and I have slaved for
None of it, no none of it
None of it
IS REAL!
