lyrics

I wanna be more,
I've been staring at this wall,
like it's a mirror.

Did I create this place,
where I hang to a thread of what I,
what I wanted to be.

So Ariadne, where have I been?
Cause I've been lost,
for so many years.
I forgot why I came here,
in the first place,
blinded by the light of the steel.

I stopped at the first choice,
they both looked the same,
which was less travelled,
was it a game?

I didn't want either,
but I couldn't turn back,
left to work,
right to black.

So Ariadne, where have I been?
Cause I've been lost,
for so many years.
I forgot why I tried,
when these walls are so tall,
there's no way around,
without falling for their call

The further I play,
by the rues of their game,
the tighter the thread,
around my neck.

Is there another way?
Cause with every step,
there's always worlds that I oppress.

What other choice,
am I left?
We live in a corporate head.

What other choice,
am I left?
We live in a corporates head.

So Ariadne,
why didn't you find me?
Where were you,
in all of those years?

Did you forget about me,
when I stepped outta frame,
am I just this number on you page?

I'm just a voiceless,
number on the page.
Cause I'm just a voiceless,
number on the page.

Cause Ariadne,
Why didn't you find me?
Where were you,
all of those years?

Did you forget about me,
When I stepped outta frame?
Cause I'm just a number on the page.

So Ariadne,
where have I been?
Cause I've been lost,
for so many years.
I forgot why I came here,
in the first place,
blinded by the light of the steel.

I wanna be more,
I've been staring at this wall,
like it's a mirror...

What a lineup. So many amazing artists involved in this compilation, and all for a mighty cause too. On my first play through, so can’t name a favourite yet, but you know your can’t go wrong with Salvation Bill and BE GOOD. Shout out to Lucy Leave in particular as well, who are shining a light on Oxford’s alternative scene at the moment. Jack Olchawski
