Album: A Matter Of Time (2024)

  • We were born on a rising tide
    Only to realise, we only look in from outside
    We were raised on an open ground
    Only to find out, we’re not part of the crowd
    But we’ll keep rising

    Throwaways, written off the page
    Throwaways, running with the strays
    But we won’t be erased
    Or left out in the rain
    We won’t change our ways
    Even if that means we’re thrown away

    We survive, we decompartmentalise
    And is it any wonder, when we live on borrowed time
    We parade, everywhere, anywhere we please
    Scale over mountains, sail across the seven seas
    So we are never found hiding

    Throwaways, written off the page
    Throwaways, running with the strays
    But we won’t be erased
    Or left out in the rain
    We won’t change our ways
    Not even if that means that we’re thrown away
    We’re thrown away

    It’s just a matter of time before we belong somewhere
    But we won’t tow the line, we won’t accept the dare
    It’s just a matter of time
    Time

    Throwaways, written off the page
    Throwaways, running with the strays
    But we won’t be erased
    Or washed out in the rain
    We won’t change our ways
    Even if that means, yeah even if that means
    We’re thrown away
    We’re thrown away
    On a rising tide
    We’re thrown away
    It’s just a matter of time
    On a rising tide
    It’s just a matter of time
    Time, its just a matter of time, it’s just a matter of time
    It’s just a matter of time
    Time, it’s just a matter of time, it’s just a matter of time
    Until we’re thrown away…. Writer/s: Paul Banks, Richard James Witter, Robert Maxfield, Thomas Peter Gladwin, Timothy James Wills
