I’m waiting for a revolution, yeah
I’m trying not to lose the will to try
I’m praying for some liberation, yeah
I’m trying not to lose my mind
I’m screaming into the void
The void
I’m hoping for some inspiration, yeah
I’m crying out to those of us who cry
I’m waiting for some new sensation, yeah
I’m crying out to make me feel alive
I’m screaming into the void
The void
Ahhhhhhh

Toxic Positivity

Smiles around town If you’re upside down
It’s joy division
Rose-tinted vision
No elephants in the room
Some have it worse than you
Can’t be happy when I’m sad
Can’t see the good when it’s bad
Turn that frown around
There’s silver linings in every cloud
You gotta laugh, don’t cry
It’s all rainbows and butterflies
Can’t be happy when I’m sad
Can’t see the good when it’s bad
Look on the bright side
You’re lucky to be alive

Endless Sleep

She just lay perfectly still
Eyes closed apparently peaceful
She looked serene in a dream
Like the princess who’d eaten the apple
The only sign of life
The gentle up and down of her chest
I could see only the soles of her feet
In the twilight
Of the dark room
The curtains pulled tight on a sunny afternoon
Nobody could wake them from endless sleep
Nobody could wake them
She’s still aware that it’s daytime
She still needs sun on her skin
She spoke less and less
Withdrew into herself
’til she didn’t speak at all
Could no longer eat
Or open her eyes
An absence of feeling
With no will to fight
Nobody could wake them from endless sleep
Nobody could wake them from endless sleep
Nobody could wake them from endless sleep
Nobody could wake them

Delusional

It can’t be only me
Who sees the tragedy
Of intelligent people led by donkeys
Oh well
Whatever
Never mind
It’s looking biblical
Hope and pray for a miracle
Inanely equivocal
It can’t be only me
Who sees reality
The more we deny the worse it will be
Oh well
Whatever
Never mind
It’s looking biblical
Hope and pray for a miracle
Inanely equivocal
The creeping subliminal
Can’t tell what’s satirical
You say I’m too political
And I’m so God damn cynical
I guess someone’s delusional
One of us is delusional

/ shoegaze duo Broken Bear are carving out their own sound but comparisons have been drawn with Nirvana, Radiohead, Fleetwood Mac and The Cranberries.
Broken Bear are regulars on their local BBC Introducing show (Surrey & Sussex) and have been championed by Tom Robinson on his BBC 6Music mixtape.
