shaunpanda Such a great EP. It leaves you wanting more with every listen. It’s easy to switch on and listen to on repeat and feel like you’ve been taken on a journey. Bill is an unbelievable talent and I’m chuffed his music exists

I'll open up a can of worms I'll pick a thread, unravel it That's just the mess beneath my crown A jumbled mess of fears and doubts I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King Oh who am I kidding now I don't deserve these robes, this power Oh down is up and up is down I don't deserve the weight of this crown I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King I believe it now It could be me Yes, I could be King I have fears and that's OK I guess I could be King I'm the one, the chosen one I guess I could be King I'll learn the ropes, I'll do my best I guess I could be King It's all I ever dreamed about I guess I could be King I've circled back to creeping doubt I guess I could be King All the gear and no idea I guess I could be King I've no hope I'm losing it I guess I could be King A real one wouldn't feel this way I guess I could be King Oh please someone take this crown I guess I could be King Oh someone please take this crown I guess I could be King

Just another slap in the face? Could never get used to that I'd sit out the race Put myself up, to get knocked back down? Not much chance of that I'm not wired that way It's too easy to hide away Buried head in the sand At least I see it more clearly now Now I'm not looking down It's a weight/wait I know With a head like this It's a weight/wait I know With a head like this I'm my own worst enemy Dodging the pedestal Fear the defeat Just a shadow over my head Kick a man whilst he's down All done to myself It's too easy to hide away Buried head in the sand At least I see it more clearly now Now I'm not looking down It's a weight/wait I know With a head like this It's a weight/wait I know With a head like this

Tetramino 02:09
Eyes will roll Stack them up I am whole Line it up Feel the flow Start to drop All the pain is now forgotten Tetramino In the zone Don't reach the top Just one more Forget the cost Plug me in Intravenous I am one Forever lost in Tetramino Tetramino Tetramino Tetramino

Blackouts 04:35
Pearly tiger shoes Carve parquet in two Whirling dervish man Consumes all he can Flailing arms and feet Dig in to 'Neat Neat Neat' An empty vessel fills Overflows and spills Sink and repeat Until the lights all blackout Geometric pose In Friday's finest clothes Figures swarm and flow Through blurred indigo A wreck it slowly dives Darkness until sunrise A downward corkscrew soul In self-destruction mode Sink and repeat Until the lights all blackout As the the day burns new A different darkness cuts through Sink and repeat Until the lights all blackout Sink and repeat Until the lights all blackout

We are on a knife edge Precariously teetering A balance I can't tip, no Like Atlas with his weight It's hanging over me We can't wait What about the kids? Tip the balance, shift the weight Change the course before it's too late They're all that matters Oceans set to rise, oh On fire at the same time, oh Sweeping poverty, oh Toxic sovereignty It's hanging over us We can't wait What about the kids? Tip the balance, shift the weight Change the course before it's too late They're all that matters
