Verse 1: I am the night sky Deep purple and blue dye Some days u can hear me cry Some days I’m ok but not alright I’m shaking fists At long laboured lists Wondering where the future goes And what I could miss So baby sweet pie Remind me when we used to ride Chorus: When none of us would check the time Cuz the moon shine drank up all of our minds Cuz we were lovers living in a land mine suicide And even come sun shine we still be blind Moon shine Drank up all our minds Lovers In a land mine suicide Verse 2: This isn’t paradise It’s white noises and red eyes Some days I be rollin dice Some days I be high on my supply I get my kicks Like getting hit by a brick Rolling round in circles Wondering if this is it So darlin sweet pie Remind me when we were still fly Chorus: When none of us would check the time Cuz the moon shine drank up all of our minds Cuz we were lovers living in a land mine suicide And even come sun shine we still be blind Bridge: I don’t care if we wake up on the wrong side of the tracks Just take it, Please Just take it away, Please just take it, Take it away from me I don’t care if we end up slipping down right through the cracks Just make it, Please just make it so I can, Please just make it, Make it so I can see Moon shine Drank up all our minds Lovers In a land mine suicide

“Yes our big jungle is at the back of the mountain and in the jungle we had a small bird this size. And when it try to sing, it’s sound is very loud. Louder then any other bird in the jungle. It’s a very dangerous bird as well. And when we come close to it and we see the bird - and normally we die the next day. And it’s not witchcraft. It’s not a poison. But it’s nature. It’s nature and it’s always been there for us all along. Yeah” - Daniel Gatau
