Took a walk among the trees to fill the hole in me, the hole in me Far from the neon lights gotta cleanse my mind, I will in time. Wonder cover me, fine starry sky of mine Golden summer days and shimmering fire nights Where I will try, I will fly, relax whilst distant suns shine. Took a walk among the trees to fill the hole in me, the hole in me Far from the neon lights gotta cleanse my mind, I will in time. I dance through meadow glades, under starry skies, Escaped the urban maze, the loss, the crime, the lie. So I can try, so I can fly, and reclaim a former silver high. Took a walk among the trees to fill the hole in me, the hole in me Far from the neon lights gotta cleanse my mind, I will in time.

Oh, I went somewhere I didn't wanna come back They did something to swerve my life track Oh I went somewhere What lies at the centre of a goddess' eye? I dunno but all my memories mosaic into nebulae. Oh, I went somewhere I didn't wanna come back They did something to swerve my life track Oh I went somewhere What lies at the centre of a goddess' eye? I dunno but all my memories mosaic into nebulae. Woah Woah Yeah

No we don't think the same If thoughts were cars we'd be in different ways Going different ways She's a You sad little soul If she wants for it then she has yet to know Has it been so long since Kingly Street? It feels like it were just the other week A date to keep, thai food to eat You sad little soul If she wants for it then she has yet to know Who knows where we're heading to Who knows how the journey will shape us, has anyone got a clue? Who knows we're heading to Who knows how the journey will shape us, do you? No we don't think the same If thoughts were cars we'd be in different lanes Going different ways She's a You sad little soul If she wants for it then she has yet to know I've a sad little soul That's hers to keep and hers alone

Green Card 02:33
Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card Walking through the mire she stares me down Telling me I'm different 'You Can't control minds' Walking through the mire she stares me down Down she stares me down Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card Walking through the fire she stares me down Telling me I'm broken 'You can't control minds' Walking through the mire she stares me down Down she stares me down Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card Oh lord she's coming to get me Get your green card sir green card

Goo 03:08
I see a river of souls Running in a land surreal Towards a statue of gold It holds a sword and a shield Oh no, these scenes aren't true Your mind is through What are you to do Oh, oh, oh You would think slow Your speech wouldn't have flow Could you think if what happened to me happened to you Your mind would be goo Goo Your mind would be goo If what happened to me happened to you I keep finding ways to get away from the crowd Silence that lies between It's so fucking loud Oh, how did you get this hate Don't ask what you've lost Or what you had to pay You would think slow Your speech wouldn't have flow Could you think if what happened to me happened to you Your mind would be goo Goo Your mind would be goo If what happened to me happened to you If what happened to me happened to you If what happened to me happened to you Your mind would be goo Goo Your mind would be goo Goo

about

'Last time our main focus was my friendship with Rob through the prism of music. This time we're galaxy bound! There's a running theme of wilful escape throughout this 5 track EP. From a getaway to green spaces to an alien abductee celebrating a chance to leave our planet, NOTOFEARTH (pronounced ‘Not - of - Earth’) as an idea and compendium could be a subliminal reaction to current global socio political upheaval, the ramifications and realisations of Gaza in particular. No one wants to have to be here and many of us have backgrounds that deny the privilege of an apt psychic relief. Running away is an understandable reaction, however, it cannot be a mission statement made for long term effectiveness. Perhaps Colossus will go on to delve into something like Afrofuturism, a commentary on the now using projections of a radical future. Whatever the case, we'll keep on messing around with song structure. It's always been blues, but not as we know it.’ - John Clay, Colossus
