More about 'Twelve Months':
On the first of each month in 2018 we were assigned 3 randomly selected restraints and had to write a song, record it, film it and release it before the end of that month. November and December were sadly delayed due to health reasons, and in February the remastered version of all Twelve songs will be available via digital stores and streaming services!
(The Gameboys are running a 2x LSDJ configuration providing bleeps, bloops and auxiliary drum sequences)

LYRICS
In the cover of the night
I'll take the guards on the left
and you'll take right
If we pull this off those dogs won't even know
We’ll be keepin’ out of sight
Silhouettes dancin’ past
The lantern light
Halls of decadence with emptiness below
They say that wrongs can't make a right
Guess it all depends on yer definition
But the people making rules like that are never at risk
They sure thought we wouldn’t fight
Well surprise!
Can’t believe that we’re inside
Months of planning and some intense
Overtime
Standing toe to toe with opulence and wealth
Don’t they know that people die
Every day based on things that they
decide
But this ivory tower’s temptations have swelled
They say wrongs can’t make a right
I guess it all depends on your definition
But the people makin rules like that are never at risk
They sure thought we wouldn’t fight
Well…surprise!
Stick to the plan
This world you don't believe in
But I think it's time we're leavin'
And we don't belong
But where do we go
From here?
Please respond
Where do we go
From here?
