The Erebus and the Terror

lyrics

My own voice, my only friend.
My memories, my one comfort.
Civility crushed by nature.
Decorum swallowed by the deep.
This world unstable, tightens her grip around me.

Slow death, sinking fast, a new found consciousness.
Slow death, breaking down, an ice cold reality.

The days are closing in and I’m far from home!
The night is falling down, I’m so far from home!

Horizons of starvation, landscapes of isolation.
Memories of smokestacks, faraway industrious redemption.
I’m far from home, in this alien world.
I am the borders in the margins of existence.

My body aching, I think I’m dying!?
My dreams are frozen and forgotten!?

Reborn, a non-event mass in time, I don’t exist? I’m not insane!
I’m lost in time, I don’t exist!? Remember me?

Slow death, sinking fast, a new found consciousness.
Slow death, breaking down, an ice cold reality.

Reborn, a non-event mass in time, I don’t exist? I’m not insane!
I’m lost in time, I don’t exist!? Remember me?

Oh God save me, I don’t know who I was?
I’m just a non event mass, lost in non existence.

Horizons of starvation, landscapes of isolation.
Memories of smokestacks, faraway industrious redemption.
I’m far from home, in this alien world.
I am the borders in the margins of existence.
The lights go down in this white perpetual darkness.
When I sleep, I sleep in the shadow of the ancients.
Some foreign land which remains forever England.
My loves, my memory, preserved in non existence.

Reborn, a non-event mass in time, I don’t exist? I’m not insane!
I’m lost in time, I don’t exist!? Remember me?

Remember me, remember me, remember me!?

Jonestown Brighton, UK

We are Jonestown, an exercise in stupidity and the acquisition of dreams sold to us by engaging ourselves in too much TV at an early age. Convinced that we're talented or special, when the painful truth is, we are not special. In the realisation that we are not special we came to find we were angry. Just like us our music is not special but we can assure you it's angry and honest ... more
