lyrics
Verse 1:
Wake up in bleary dark
Another day another fight
Told to work hard and to play hard
I’ve reached the end of the line
In this procession of the self
We’re meant to want and have it all
This systematic house of wealth
Where no one breaks me when I fall
Breakdown:
Addicted to the praise
Addicted to the cash
Addicted to the dream
It’s so hyperreal
Verse 2:
Try to stay desired and young
At our narcissistic church
Worshipping ignorant and dumb
Our values so perverse
Promised everlasting life
Soon we’ll all cease to exist
Our calculated steep decline
Our sense of self adrift
Chorus:
I’ll be anything you need
Your source of purity
Your quick escape from reality
I’ll be anything you need
Numb yourself from me
Your quick escape from reality
Verse 3:
Complicit in silent dusk
Binary cycle of light and shadow
In this structure we trust
Rewards the daily fucking grind
We play the hand we’re dealt
Keep our precious dreams so small
This age of lies where a constant sense of
Contempt becomes the norm
Wake up in bleary dark
Another day another fight
Told to work hard and to play hard
I’ve reached the end of the line
In this procession of the self
We’re meant to want and have it all
This systematic house of wealth
Where no one breaks me when I fall
Breakdown:
Addicted to the praise
Addicted to the cash
Addicted to the dream
It’s so hyperreal
Verse 2:
Try to stay desired and young
At our narcissistic church
Worshipping ignorant and dumb
Our values so perverse
Promised everlasting life
Soon we’ll all cease to exist
Our calculated steep decline
Our sense of self adrift
Chorus:
I’ll be anything you need
Your source of purity
Your quick escape from reality
I’ll be anything you need
Numb yourself from me
Your quick escape from reality
Verse 3:
Complicit in silent dusk
Binary cycle of light and shadow
In this structure we trust
Rewards the daily fucking grind
We play the hand we’re dealt
Keep our precious dreams so small
This age of lies where a constant sense of
Contempt becomes the norm

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

"Reveal" fits a huge amount of diversity in a very small number of original tracks. The title track is an emotional piece that carries a special meaning thanks to its guitar-less composition and powerful lyrics.
