Why is no-one even singing?
Why is no-one even dancing?
Why is the sun not shining?
I don’t understand this world i’m in, this world i’m in.
I don’t understand this world I’m in
Why can’t the animals even sing?
Why is nobody happy, why are people on fire?
I don’t understand this world I’m in
There are no rainbows only rain
There’s rats the size of cats in drains
There’s scary statues everywhere
There’s something trying to bite me
There’s no color only grey and drab
There’s sentient sad pavement slabs
Spiders hunting up higher
Birds are losing the will to fly
I don’t understand this world I’m in
Why can’t the animals even sing?
No-one is happy, why are people on fire?
I don’t understand this world I’m in

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
