about

The third single from our debut album FIRST, released November 2020.

Across its three minutes, songwriter Mark Tobin sings of a catastrophist who starts smoking again because he believes the world will end before he gets cancer.

lyrics

Could it be
That I see
The worst in everybody
Believe me
I know I need
To cut the melancholy
I feel loved
But I just can’t stand to feel
Like I’m being crushed

All we need’s fresh water
A magnesium fire starter
A hunting knife
Marlboro Lights
And a big box of I feel loved
But I just can’t stand to feel
Like I’m being crushed

All we need’s fresh water
A magnesium fire starter
A hunting knife
Marlboro Lights
And a big box of Amoxicillin.

Take my word
I have heard
It’s no secret
From the others
But I’ve still
Got free will
That’s the only
thing that matters
I feel loved
But I just can’t stand to feel
Like I’m being crushed

All we need’s fresh water
A magnesium fire starter
A hunting knife
Marlboro Lights
And a big box of Amoxicillin
I feel loved
But I just can’t stand to feel
Like I’m being crushed

All we need’s fresh water
A magnesium fire starter
A hunting knife
Marlboro Lights
And a big box of Amoxicillin.
