about

'Off The Page' is about the struggle of trying to find authenticity and true meaning in a land of mass information and the joy that is felt when it is found. We are very often easily driven to distraction through how we engage online. This can sometimes cloud our judgement as to what makes us truly happy. 'Off The Page' addresses the feelings that can only be felt at the source, from the bottom of the well to the top of the hill.

lyrics

Thought it was lost, you had it in your hand
Safe as a house, from now on
Hold the sign up, it won't sell itself
A second thought is priceless
The straightest of lines, can't connect them up
I'm drawing free hand from now on.

This could be that other thing I read about in a waiting room
Nowhere near a perfect truth but if that's what's going then that will do

And the opening line was lifted from a book
I read it back to front
And the words stood up and walked off the page
dancing in a club in city

Saying this could be our only chance to make ourselves understood.
Crying loud in an echo chamber who'd be around to give you blood
Shouted down by the loudest speaker, swept away in a quiet flood
Call me up up, yeah I will no bother, left a space for us above.

Keep breathing, it gets better x 4
