A spinning turnstile;
Forever open, forever closed.
Invalid user entry
Press any key, now overdose.
I see it now; robotic
The person that I used to be.
Now, my life, my heart, forever free.
And I'm not going back...
But for now, it's here and now
It's undercover, but what if they knew?
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.
Somehow, it's here and now
It's open wide, the future seems so new.
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.
A spinning turnstile;
I watched it eat a hole in me.
Abandoned hopes, forgotten dreams.
Sometimes you have to die before you live
...and I'm not going back.
But for now, it's here and now
It's undercover, but what if they knew?
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.
Somehow, it's here and now
It's open wide, the future seems so new.
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.
I want to see my future
Surrounded by others,
Someone to watch over me.
Faceless they came and made me realise
That nothing in life is free,
You have to take it for yourself.
Kidnapped from my interior absent thought by knife and plier
Death and it's decomposition brought me to my feet
And now I can hear them coming.
But for now, it's here and now
It's undercover, but what if they knew?
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.
Somehow, it's here and now
It's open wide, the future seems so new.
Tonight, tonight, it's now or never.

Every time I think I’ve uncovered all the hidden gems I find another one, this is fine music. This band has two other more recent releases not available on Bandcamp, also amazing. Kind of a mix of genres with the post rock backbone I enjoy so much, very talented! Deej
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021
