Grumpy PhilosopherMy partner has come back from working at the local food bank angry again. Food banks shouldn't just exist to ensure people don't go hungry.

1. Shooting Star ~ 8 minutes 40 seconds - A song about flying too closely to the sun.
2. Apathy ~ 15 minutes 10 seconds - My second epic that I’ve ever written and the first with vocals, it’s a track about the horrors of abandoning those closest to oneself
