Greed 03:45
Paying homage to the monument Of a wolf in disguise Laugh at the pain it brings Keep the anger bottled up inside Laugh out loud (Hah!) When you just want to cry Get through another day As a piece of you dies Three-word slogan – I will die Three-word slogan – you all lie Three-word slogan stop the boats Three-word slogan – jobs and growth And fake news Fake news can be true Keeping secrets from us all Giving power to the elite I will not become your slave Just so you can keep them sweet Just so you keep Gina sweet Just so you keep Rupert sweet In a hundred years from now I hope we sowed the seed That living is more than Feeding your greed

Lovelit 03:39
Just want to tell you How much you mean Without wishing to push too hard At the extremes But you’re the brightest star In all of my dreams Gonna jump into my car I’m Gonna follow what’s in my heart And It’ll take me To a lovelit road Like floating on a cloud You are my dream You’re my sense of being You’re everything to me You’re my shining star You’re my beautiful heart You’re my early morning start My early morning start
3.
Darkness 03:56
C’mon darkness kiss me like a frightened child Lonely in this blackness Thinking of those things I Can’t find The heat pulses through my veins Am I going insane? C’mon darkness Your soft touch turns to a grip Lonely in this greyness Letting go as my sanity slips C’mon darkness Please let me win C’mon darkness Don’t let me over think
4.
Road 04:38
The distance is so profound And even though you can’t come round I know you’re here with me today Invariably I get carried away And I swear that you gave me A road to travel home And in my mind I stroke your hair Blissful dream without a care I trace my finger down your spine I’m waiting for the planets to align
5.
Cracks 03:12
Living in a world Where my eyes are lower than your feet Thanking you When I hear the coins drop into my cup Once when I held my head up high Fighting everything except this tide That reverberates in my head And leaves this day full of my dread Invisible in your world And there’s no walls in mine Just bitter cold that bites my pride And tears me up inside Don’t let me slip through the cracks…..
6.
Anxiety 04:25
Walking into work Head full of doubt Will I be good enough Or will they throw me out Feels like the whole wide world Is pressing against my skin Can’t even run away When the walls are all closing in And I forget to breathe My heart rapid beat And one day, I’ll win this war Against my darkest thoughts With my anxiety (I’m gonna win this war) With my anxiety (Against my darkest thoughts) Playing my guitar Makes me feel great In front of people Is the fear I hate Will I be good enough And will I sing in key It’s hard being comfortable When you’re jumping out of your skin Right now, I’m not so sure If I’ll ever win this war

What if this one moment becomes our last Would we regret the things we never said Did we leave every single stone unturned And what value do words have here anyway? Ten long years consigned to memory Every moment tortured and aggrieved One moment of great bitterness Life without you is the disease One moment suspended in time Leaves all the darkness burning bright Now all that’s left is smouldering leaves Ashes blown up against the cold breeze Winding roads lead to nowhere….. You are the shining light Within the darkest hour

We would like to thank:

Benny Larter – A brilliant engineer, Ideas man and friend. Thank you for going above and beyond for our cause. We will always be grateful. Em Boon – How can this amazingly talented woman not be global!? Frank Iorfino – Joined together a lifetime ago through a pair of Football shorts and a Steve Kilbey T-shirt. A dear friend to the very end. Luke Myszka – Trying to watch TV whilst we rehearsed in the loungeroom mustn’t have been easy! Charles – He sat through most of the sessions at Majestic Beast. If you listen carefully, you can just hear his dulcet snoring tones within a main vocal track. Enshrined within this album and within or hearts. The Green Table – Always there to give us a gig as we learnt our craft as a band. Our spiritual home.

Adrienne Grummett – For every photograph and all the graphic art we cannot thank you enough. What meant even more to us was your unwavering belief from the very start. Our deepest gratitude and love we offer you in return.

Shining Light is dedicated to the memory of Jan’s father and Dan’s grandfather Jasiu Myszka

about

The Moment Killer Melbourne, Australia

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, The Moment Killer Formed in September 2015 playing original material that might loosely be termed as folk post punk dream pop. Sometimes it is a three-piece band and other times it is a solo acoustic act. Some of the songs are political, observational and about life and love - but always with our heart firmly on our sleeves ... more
