Second single and title track of The Accidentals debut ep, which is being released on the 29th of November at Live the venue, Durban, South Africa.

lyrics

Waiting at the train station, a pool of blood red, illuminated.
Surrealism, turns into realism this isn’t fiction a strange truth that holds an even stranger conviction.
Self-slain the paramedics try in vain, my eyes are wide open but I wish I could look away.
I’m afraid of the outcome of this brutal act, suicide I try and hide but the images remain.
Chorus:
This harsh world saddens me, this beautiful world uplifts me and everyday I’m left confused I’m pondering in the wake of this splendid catastrophe.
Second verse:
A family man, who couldn’t support his wife and child, took a cutting knife and drove it deep into his own neck.
In that same hour, many around this world did die, but also many born, life and death it seems so damn simple.
But sometimes convoluted and confusing a labyrinth of misplaced emotions, we try to tuck these thoughts deep away, aa, but sometimes they choose to come out and play.
Chorus:
This harsh world saddens me, this beautiful world uplifts me and everyday I’m left confused I’m pondering in the wake of this splendid catastrophe.
