about

Single from the forthcoming album "Ersatz Noises of Mark Allender and the Great Oxygen Catastrophe."

lyrics

Made it thru
Now I'm safe and sound and don't know what to do
I keep in mind the times I hoped I'd be right here
But the impending sense of dread hasn't ended

Nearly drowned
But with some pluck and luck you find some higher ground
Exhausted relishing the freedom just to breathe
But you can't escape the memory of the water

There is no air within this place
There is no air within this place

Standing still
In the moment while I have some time to chill
Creature sneaks up to disturb a peaceful mind
Plants a flag as I stumble off the wagon

There is no air within this place
There is no air within this place

Well I'm safe and things are fine
Clean water? Check.
Shelter? Check.
Food and family? Check. Check.

And next is Little Rock.
Denver. Hartford. Dover.
And I'm fine.
Things are fine.
Things are fine.
Things are fine.

Lansing.
St. Paul.
Jackson.
