The Lost Persons Point is a perfect accompaniment to the strange, dark and isolating times we live in, (with) sprinkles of positivity and powerful music.``

GOING NOWHERE FAST

WRITTEN BY ALEX OHM

LYRICS

They say the future’s vibrant
But we’re brought up on violence.
When you’re knocking on my door
All I want is love but you bring war.

Sitting here in silence
A simplistic requirement
For a quiet life!
Oh My Life.

I know just what you’re saying
But it don’t come easily.
It’s like swimming through a concrete ocean;

Going nowhere fast.

Living life in slow motion,
Watching everything fly past.
I wonder how long will it last?
I wonder how long…

We’re going nowhere fast.

These days my head is spinning!
I don’t know where I’ve been
Or I’m going to.
Does that sound like you?

Because we’ve all been lost before
And we’ll all be lost some more.
I can guarantee.

Just you wait and see.

Do you know just what I’m saying?
Well, it don’t come easily.
It’s like swimming through a concrete ocean;

Going nowhere fast.

Living life in slow motion,
Watching everything fly past.
I wonder how long will it last?
I wonder how long…

We’re going nowhere fast.

We’re going nowhere fast.
I wonder how long will it last.
I turn around and the moment passed.
I turn around, turn around.

We’re going nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

SOMETIMES

WRITTEN BY ALEX OHM

LYRICS

Kiss me like we’re damned
I’m fresh out of fucks and out of plans
The world is crashing down all around
It’s you and me and me and you now
Tell the debt collectors not today
We’ll put those circling storm clouds away
The well meaning mothers not to wail
It’s you and me and me and you always

Hush now my heart it speaks
For once not in riddles, but words complete
Quite now ’cause the little guy knows
The little guy knows that you’re the one for me

Tell the sinking band to keep on playing
For one more song, one more day
This dawn is the brightest that I’ve known
For you and me and me and you home
Tell the charming kooks to step aside
For two of their own passing by
The world is all madness and flames
It’s you and me and me and you always

Hush now my heart it speaks
For once not in riddles, but words complete
Quite now ’cause the little guy knows
The little guy knows that you’re the one for me

 

My heart is a quiet and brooding thing
Barely speaks a word of English
You’ll find him hiding in any bar, everyone knows the type
Yeah everyone here knows the type

But recently he started dancin’
Recently he started singin’
Recently he’s dabblin’ poetry
Recently he’s feeling most at ease singing
Please take me on as a long time project
As a long time project
Oh please take me on as a long time project

Kiss me like we’re damned

TIME WAITS (FOR NO ONE)

WRITTEN BY ALEX OHM

LYRICS

Said I was sad and you applauded
Said I cried and you bought it
Said I you gave me whiskey
Say I wanna talk and you said you’d phone me
And so it is

My advice to anyone who wants to live a life like this
It’s only temporary
So why are you complaining
We’re all just floating on by
Sometimes you’d know laughing highs
When curse to crisis hits you by surprise

Yeah but mostly
Mostly we’re just standing so still
Time ticking on fractured stilts
And believe me there’s nothing
Practically nothing you can do
To control the things that happen to you
So smile, yeah smile and float on by

Be kind, be kind, be kind
