Have you ever held a leaf be-
tween your fingers, lovely whole-
some green, pure beauty, message from
the trees, wisdom keepers that we need
Have you ever thought about what
happens when the light goes out, your
truth is your reality, fa-
bric of time and space is in me
Have you ever wondered if the
space between is not a rift, if
what you see is what you are in-
side, the earth is you we are the sky

A country built on shipwrecks
The water’s turning red
Here, there, it's a media nightmare
Telling stories, we are told not to care
How long till we get it right?
It won't happen over night
You can't bring them here
Out of sight out of mind
Run rabbit run...

Heartless Machine

Looking up at the sky
or deep into your loved one’s eyes
Gazing over the trees
there's a common truth we’re ignoring
Who is it now we’re at war with?
The truth it sounds a bit morbid
Taking life through a screen
like a heartless machine
Freedom doesn't reside
in the screen you rely on
I am white noise
I am the hum
I am the one that feeds you
I am the weight in your head
I am the pleasure and the fingers around your neck
I am the bank and the debt
Drown in formation
Heart and mind inflammation
Seems that nobody cares
about your thoughts and your prayers
How do we now communicate?
Ignorance houses love and hate
Getting recognition through a screen
like a heartless machine
Freedom doesn't reside
in the screen you rely on
I know you're trying your best
Feel more, think less
Maybe one day
we'll get out of this mess

Why Do You Ask?
06:54

You’re right, I’m wrong
Not sure what's going on
You’re wrong, I’m right
And none of this feels nice
I've got one life
No money, can you give me a ride?
Your soul's benign,
held up in your adult mind
You're here, I'm there
We're going nowhere
You’re so uptight
Want to believe you but I don't understand why
Why?
Why do you ask if you don't have the time?
You react, I run
Not sure what's going on
We've gone off track
but I wanna have your back
No words, just vibe
Man none of this feels right
This is dumb and no fun
and nothing’s getting done
Who cares, don't think
We all love you and what you bring
You're so uptight
I think we are the same but I don't understand why
Why?
Why do you ask if you don't have the time?

Open the window, let in the light
The fog has lifted, your room is bright!
It's not your problem, it's not your fight
Just ‘cause you're not wrong don't mean you're right
It's a fresh take, it's a new direction
A little self-love and some introspection
Find your something, find your heart connection
Take back your outlook and control perception
Anti-social is vibe deleter
Let your keeper go a little deeper
In the chains of a deep thought reaper
Who cares what you think, just breathe easier
I know you feel it, I see you feeling
Looking inwards has got you reeling
What's the pain that you are foreseeing
Your body's able but your soul is screaming
Fuck the old way, it's an insurrection
Curtain call on this brain deception
I know you're thinking, your mind and mine are meeting
This life is fleeting for me, can't you see?

Apple Of Your Eye

Dawn of my existence
I can't see without you there
I wonder what brings your heart out for me, yeah
I think about you everywhere
I’m changing
I could have lived a hundred lives
Why wouldn't you wanna try?
Are you proud of the apple of your eye?
Tell me your side
Spawn of my existence
I wonder how much you care?
I wonder if I could have been harder on you, yeah
Before I have to leave you here
I'm ageing
I've been fumbling around
with the idea that we're told
As you're winding down
I'm beginning to grow old
I could have lived a hundred lives
Are you proud of the apple of your eye?

Turtle Skull Sydney, Australia
Merging the light, the organic, the ecstatic with the monolithic, the fuzzy, the droney, Turtle Skull have forged a
reputation around their signature ‘flower doom’ sound, and aim to create an immersive and transformative experience.
Monoliths is everything the first record is and more - heavier riffs, deeper emotion, and the intricacies of a fully developed concept.

Some people say Dark Side of the Moon is the essential tripping album... but this, for me personally, is currently the top dog. The perfect cosmic headspace for an out of this world trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
