The Slow Readers Club - Zero Hour - Lockdown Version

Zero Hour from our new album 'The Joy Of The Return'. While we're all in lockdown we'll be doing a few of these videos. Give us your requests for The Slow Readers Club songs in the comments :)

We can't play live together or go on tour so we thought this would be the next best thing, we hope you're all doing well out there in the world.

Lyrics:
In total darkness, the zero hour, wait for the world to start.
Hallucinations, grand dreams of power, deception is an art.
In place of colour I’m seeing static, will someone please take charge.
The hands are turning, it’s automatic, don’t want to cause alarm.

I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want to be here.
You call me out you call me a coward.
Think you could go a day without freakin’.
Maybe I’m blessed or maybe I’m cursed,
but one thing’s for sure I’m through getting hammered.

In isolation, oh please believe me,
I mean to do no harm.
This old procession is so
demeaning. You must speak truth to power.

I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want to be here.
You call me out you call me a coward.
Think you could go a day without freakin’.
Maybe I’m blessed or maybe I’m cursed,
but one thing’s for sure I’m through getting hammered.
