lyrics

Cheap white wine marks this time as a day to remember
As the day when we wrote our names

Boys decide to be men tonight
‘Cause when you put pen to paper
You see your whole life made plain
And you’re sure to remember
Why it is that you wrote your name

A line in the sand that we can cross
The shape of a plan and its cost
Call it a contact made between friends
Call it a means to an end

Your golden fleece is a Trojan beast
So you gotta surrender
That is if you give a damn

Brothers three can guarantee
When you put pen to paper
It’s easy to understand
I see my name and remember
Who I am

A line in the sand that we can cross
The shape of a plan and its cost
Call it a contract made between friends
Call it a means to an end

Getting sober, painting over the past
Call it a vice from which we obstain
Call it a hopeful thought for a change
Call it a contract made between friends
Call it a means to an end

about

2 a.m. Orchestra Auckland, New Zealand

"Dark harmonies and compelling melodies performed with equal parts sombre emotion and stark perfection." (NZ Musician Magazine)

"2 a.m. Orchestra has delivered an album that is worthy of superlatives. Impermanence deftly translates the chaos and elation of life, into uplifting and well-arranged rock songs - songs fused with eclecticism, vigour and exuberance."
