lyrics

Self-Exclusion

Stand tall while you wear your black veil
Hold the hand of your child who surely will not fail
Never mind the pity, they are worriers and they don’t know
How you can go on and on and on all on your own

You give me hope
That it will go right
While this goes on
I'll leave my head in the sand

Look at that line of mourners, here to watch you wail
I will not be a part of their endless, mindless trail
I won't preach to you, but you will find
That over and over again they will try to steal your weary mind

You give me hope
That it will go right
While this goes on
I'll leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand

I will not join in on their game anymore
It feels like one long drawn out war
I cannot bear to face the outside
I’d rather sit inside out of the cold

You give me hope
That it will go right
You give me hope
You make me whole

Leave me while I leave my head in the sand
Leave me while I leave my head in the sand

about

The Rider Sydney, Australia

The Rider emerged in 2010 from a love of trippy guitar jams, big harmonies and groovy rhythms. Based on Gadigal land (Sydney), The Rider is a group of friends that wrote songs inspired by music they love, taking influences from 60s rock, psych, jazz, blues and soul.

You can find the music of Henry Manuell, Tom Hume & Calum Nicholson in their new projects: Othrship, Dovetale and Midnight Tangos.
