What Is It To Have Artistic Credibility?

As a palette cleanser after yesterday's thick A.I. milkshake, how about some SPRINTS?

Refreshing, isn't it?

Album All That Is Over and tour incoming.


Vanity is the curse of culture
A cyanide for the soul
Tip the tightrope delicately around ego
Don't let either side take hold

What is it to have artistic credibility
For am I not just a man?
I seek to take aim at commentary
I speak so therefore I understand

Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
How do you heal a tortured heart?
Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
We have love and we have art

Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
How do you heal a tortured heart?
Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
We have love and we have art

I count the dead leaves on the trees
I count the seconds between my breath
All's fair in love and war
But what if I've nothing more than war left?

Take my sanity
Take my sanctimony
Call me pious, call this holy matrimony
Call this anything you want from me

Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
How do you heal a tortured heart?
Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
We have love and we have art

Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
How do you heal a tortured heart?
Descartes, Descartes, 
Discord, discard
We have love and we have art

Disillusion, hate, anxiety
Pleasure, pain, ecstasy
Tell me lord, how can I be
Better than I was born to be?

Disillusion, hate, anxiety
Pleasure, pain, ecstasy
Tell me lord, how can I be
Better than I was born to be?

Disillusion, hate, anxiety
Pleasure, pain, ecstasy
Tell me lord, how can I be
Better than I was born to be?

Vanity is the curse of culture
Ignorance becomes the death of us
Privilege without acknowledgement is murder
The world is burning right in front of us

  1. Have a lot of time for this lot.....seen them twice in Glasgow on past tours, and have made a mental note to try and go catch them on their home turf in Dublin for a particularly crazy night. New album has been pre-ordered.
