Relentless

RELENTLESS VERSE ONE Slapped in the face All of the day Information I can’t process the relentless flow in my mind I really don’t have the time To post online All of the things That might look cool Even my food Although I know it’s a trap This hyper world I find myself Part of the flock A number downloaded and used For someone’s gain In some weird game That no one wins VERSE TWO When I get home So much to do I just can’t stop I don’t know how People clock off And then turn off I really have to confess I just pursue All of the ways To reach success Hoping to find Fulfilment but there’s no rest All of my apps Notify me Give me a sec Just let me be I can’t go on Is it a con? To consume more? And no one wins? CHORUS ONE Thrown by the ways of the world And robbed of sight I have all the answers But when will they transform my life Searching, racing Gradually loosing my mind Slowly drifting away To just pass time CHORUS TWO Thrown by the ways of the world And robbed of sight You have all the answers But when will they transform your life Searching, racing Gradually loosing your mind Slowly drifting away To just pass time BRIDGE ONE Keep up No rest Don’t Stop What was that? Take a look! Over there! Opportunity! Update Upgrade New stuff Jump on board! Don’t miss out! Or you’ll fall way behind Reboot Reload Refresh Take a pill Push on through And ignore any warning Must keep On track Or else I’ll loose My sense Of self Is this life that we burn through our sanity Must we strive just be who we are Slave and stress are the mark of society It’s ok we’ll have self-driving cars BRIDGE TWO Time is not your enemy You’re reaching out To feel normal and so much more Try and slow it down again And take a breath Reconnecting with your true home VERSE THREE What happens now How can I find A peace of mind And take control Holding it back Staying on track But I want to give in To feel the spin To not say no And run the race Keep up the pace And feeling good all the time Is that the goal? I don’t think so Out of control Am I really up to this fight How will I know How I will go And can I win? VERSE FOUR Checking my feed Rumour of war All stocks are up Been here before So the world dies Before our eyes and if Cash is the king Inside the ring You may as well Throw in the towel And head on home But something has to be done Starts with just one Looking beyond Up from the throng Can it be that it’s more than me Why can’t we see That we were made For more than this CHORUS THREE Thrown by the ways of the world And robbed of sight We have all the answers But when will they transform our lives Searching, racing Gradually loosing our minds Slowly drifting away To just pass time OUTRO Here we are in a land: Opportunity Overwhelmed by the weight of it all Many roads and the call of prosperity Caught in the race of the ways of the world Time rolls on and we fall to conformity Stay this path and risk losing you soul Slow down or drown Ahh Just slow down Peace of mind Inside

about

'Relentless' is the debut EP by Melbourne drummer Chris Cameron (Acolyte, The Rookies). Blending his two worlds of progressive rock and jazz, the two longer form compositions on this release explore his ambidextrous approach to drum kit performance and a message of the times: that the pace of our lives is indeed relentless and we all need to re-evaluate, take a breath, and live for our true purposes not those demanded of us by the surrounding culture. Featuring vocals by Micheal Mills (Toehider) and Morgan-Leigh Brown (Acolyte).
