Story Behind The Song
Written as part of an experimental recording block at the vintage equipment test unit, Radiophonic Studio, Stockport.
The sessions were based on looped arpeggios that are built and layered to create complete soundscapes, which are then deconstructed and composed sparsely throughout the track.
The lyrics depict a journey into a wilderness and survival.

Lyrics
Did it for you love, cut my hair and got a job, to put a roof above, sold my soul with sweat and blood, it was just enough, to keep the wolves out the door, everyday they come, give it all they ask for more.
Don't try to look for me, I don't exist.
All the plants have died, no sunlight in the sky, in your cave and tell of when the last light it fell. Every bad word left, on the road where they went, no one made it then, all a memory making sense.
Don't try to look for me, I don't exist.
