Temperatures are running high
And we really could have seen it coming
Consequences never entered our minds
As we danced to someone else’s drumming
Speculation running wild
In an ecstasy of our own making
We were winning and we didn’t know why
And we didn’t care what we were taking
We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Hanging from a fraying thread
Scrabbling just to keep on holding
It was easier to fall instead
Not to stick or split when we were folding
Caught out when the music stopped
Our colours turned to grey
We saw we were at a loss
In the harsh light of the day
We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Better in time
Better than where we started
Better in mind
Better in health and heart and
Better in kind
Better to build a better way
We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-)
Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be better)

Now an experienced hand at timed songwriting challenges, Ben took on the February Album Writing Challenge on his own (well, with a little help) in 2019. This is the result. Softwire
TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
