Cyanide

about

The fifth and penultimate track from the EP, 'State Of The Art'

lyrics

Once I heard that life was optional
A game for those who like dysfunctional
To put existence on the line
Anticipation in our decline

Once you said I was dispensable
Irrelevant, and immaterial
To make some distance, to find a sign
Determination to re-design

(Wooo aaaaa ooooh...)

(Chorus)
‘Cause you can’t stop the rain
Though you may try in vain
And still the winds endure
But I’ll be there
Yes I’ll be there

Once I thought that pain was requisite
The less you give, the more you get of it
The sweet and sour entwined
But now I see how you were lying

Now I see through your tricks and schemes
How they were trying to rid me of my dreams
Now I am no longer naive
For you I can only grieve

(Woooaaah)

(Chorus, heavier)
‘Cause you can’t stop the rain
Though you may try in vain
And still the winds endure
But I’ll be there
Yes I’ll be there

You’re cyanide....
You’re cyanide...
You’re...

Songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp.

Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for.
