Apologies, I Have None - Everybody Wants To Talk About Mental Health

Apologies, I Have None are a melancholic, punk-influenced quartet from London. They started off as a two piece drums and guitar band, consisting of Dan Bond and Josh Mckenzie before expanding and adding a drummer and bassist to the line up.

Everybody Wants To Talk About Mental Health was not the track I was going to share, but it feels quite apt at the moment. The song is about not always wanting to talk about your problems and finding other ways to get a release. Josh flicks switches between calm and angry on the track which gives the song so much life with the spite and venom in Josh's vocals at the end of the song is fantastic and you can really feel his anger. It doesn't get much more real than this.




Goal
Motion is my one and only goal
Stagnation is the deepest fear I hold
Waves of indecision they make short work of these plans
And wash away the walls of my resolve
I guess nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

And so it goes
But is anyone themselves
Bound to current trends for beauty
Shackled to the never ending scramble for wealth?
Yeah I'd love to remember a single time that I was a real person but
I'm not convinced that I ever really was
I guess nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
I guess nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

I know it's fucked up
I know it's a cold cold world
Turn our backs and leave
We could just turn our backs and leave

Is it worth it
The fight?
The pushing back against the constant caving in of life?
When all our epitaphs will read the same
When our time has passed
Here lies one whose name was writ in water
I guess nothing lasts
