15 Minutes
Another baby closes it’s eyes, mother in tow
One in anticipation, the other out of sorrow
I said ohh, born into what?
Untainted green apple, two stomachs aching
One impatient while the other, the other one is breaking
I said ohh, oh why?
I just don’t understand the way of the world today
15 minutes giving life, 15 minutes taking it away
I said ohh, oh why?
Another baby closes it’s eyes, mother in tow
One out of anticipation, the other out of sorrow
I said ohh
Stop now, I’m breaking down
Stop now, I’m breaking now
Stop now, I’m pregnant now
Stop now, I’m breaking down

I hope you open up today, just express yourself and say what it is you want me to say
On this open road ahead, streams of blue and violet cascade down
I need to breathe again
I know it’s the way you need me, the way you feel me
Tripping and I’m falling, well I don’t know where to start
You’re taking and I’m breaking where do two worlds fall apart
Why open a window, break my fall then break my fall again
Well I don’t want it, but I do have it yeah
Well I don’t need it, but I bleed it yeah
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, when it’s over
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, it’s not over
Acquiesce for fear they’ll terminate
Breathe in, don’t breathe out
I don’t want it, but I do have it yeah
Unspoken, unheard of
What’s the point of feeling if you don’t even have a chance?
Well I don’t want it, but I do have it yeah
Well I don’t need it, but I bleed it yeah
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, when it’s over
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, it’s not over
Acquiesce for fear they’ll terminate
I want it, I need it, I want it, take it back from me though I own it
I want it, I need it, I want it, take it back from me
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, when it’s over
The world is broken, how do two worlds fall apart
When it’s over, when it’s over, it’s not over
Acquiesce for fear they’ll terminate

Montalban
I am no better off than the man next to me
I want to be different, hate to be the same
It’s so easy to disassociate ourselves
It’s so easy to simply place the blame
We focus on what we have done, and the anger we have felt
But in our petty times and our victories, if we could just stop
Just stop and look at ourselves
I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right
Why you’ve got to say those words out loud?
Maybe it’s so you can hear for yourself
You’re so busy caught up in, the me, the how, the why, the when of ourselves
Of what we have felt, of what we know
Well that’s the way it goes
I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right
Of what we’ve felt, of what we’ve known, of what we’ve seen, of what we’ve been
I don’t want you to believe in ourselves, take it back, oh we’ve come round and we’ve gone off track into ourselves, and what I know, into ourselves and that’s the way it goes
I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right

Matt Ryder Darwin, Australia
“Matt Ryder plays guitar, stompbox and sings. And does it really well. His rootsy style could be compared to say John Butler
or Ben Harper, though his songs and playing have a powerful, uptempo percussive edge. Guitarists should come and check him out to be blown away by the guys skills; two handed tapping, hitting the guitar, harmonics everywhere… What can’t he do?”
