Natty Ness Monster Steve Shafer of The Duff Guide to 2 Tone sums it up better than I ever could:
"The fantastic resulting album is highly evocative, full of atmospheric soundscapes and cinematic visions that exists somewhere in the realm of The Specials' More Specials, The Special AKA's In the Studio, Massive Attack vs. Mad Professor's No Protection, Megative's debut, and Rhoda Dakar's Lotek Four releases." Favorite track: Writers Eyes.

It's True 02:14
First time I laid eyes on you Thought you were the only one Rising tides fall into seasons But it still remains the same It's true It's true First time I laid eyes on you Thought you were the only one Rising tides fall into seasons But it still remains the same It's true It's true

Writers Eyes 03:47
Read another book That opens one's eyes Reveals the unthinkable Exploder of truths What you don't want to see What you don't want to hear Like the wise man say About the far away Hypocrisy, brutality The rule of force Abuse of power Someone else's 11th hour Thousands of souls Beyond horizon Lessons to be learned The shadows the past A policy, apology Policies, apologies I thought my mind was made up An alternative cup A sip from the taste You don't want to waste The facts the figures in disguise The point of view of the writers eyes The writers eyes The writers eyes The writers eyes

You gotta get yourself into light Oh I need you to see me And come set me free Cos these four walls They won't let me be Take me anywhere Anywhere but here Come get me out And remove my fears You gotta get yourself into the light Is what she said to me And then she told me I should Break free from the chains That have held me down And taken so much life from me now You gave me strength Now I have grown (I gave you life its now your own) You've shown me life its now my own (You have my love you will succeed) Because your love is all I need (And because of this you can breathe) And because of this now I can breathe (I've shown you life it's now your own) You've shown me life it's now my own (I've shown you life it's now your own) And because of this Anxiety Gone

To make you run and hide Was it something I did? To make you run away from me Oh yeah Gone in a moment Why do you hide your face from me? In tatters Don't hide your face from me Don't hide If there was a problem Oh yeah What can I do To help you You ran away You didn't say What was wrong You turned away from me You tried to hide away from me You hid away from me Don't hide your face from me You really cannot hide All my dreams are gone I'll find you I'll find you We were meant to be together Don't hide your face from me Don't hide your face from me Don't hide your face from me

In my plastic world In my plastic brain Fantastic mind Elastic chain Prosthetic Ecstatic Is it mine Then I throw it away Is it real Like a future stain In the grains of sand In the grains of sand Floating and boating On the deepest ocean Then washed ashore Like a future stain On the grains of sand A legacy to hold Every grain of sand The plastic Plastic world Washed ashore It's a fantastic mind It's a problem for mankind Dispersed throughout the land and sea Floating in the sea Is it real? It's a scourge on the land A sign of modern times We dispose That's my message That's my message To all mankind We're not the only creatures on the land

The Earth Still Turns While You Sleep Time to feel The earth While you sleep Still turns The earth As we close our eyes As we close our eyes You're here

The Penhill sunrise could be enough No matter where you are It rises in the east Through the kitchen window Where that rat now sleeps When your eyes look up And the sky is getting lighter And that's all you see What's below becomes a shadow Or a silhouette Of yesterday A shadow A silhouette A shadow A silhouette My future is coming today And like my workmate say This is the best part of the day But we won't say Best part of the day But we'll never say We'll never say The Penhill sunrise could be enough No matter where you are I won't be far It rises in the east Through the kitchen window Where that rat now sleeps When your eyes look up And the sky is getting lighter, brighter And that's all you see What's below becomes a shadow Or a silhouette Of yesterday My future is coming today And like my workmate say This is the best part of the day But we won't say Best part of the day But we'll never say Never say We'll never say We'll never say The Penhill sunrise Could be enough The Penhill sunrise Could be enough The Penhill sunrise Could be enough
