I wrote this song during a time when I felt the world had given up on us. I remember watching Luke Cage and a young boy from the street said something about there not being any heroes, and I said to myself “damn right, we’re on our own!”

At that time I was mainly housebound due to ME/CFS, I hadn’t met any doctors who would listen or understand, I had felt ostracised from my present (able-bodied) community, nobody outside fought for my patient group, we were neglected and forgotten. There are no more heroes, but we’ll do just fine on our own, I thought.

All income from sales and streaming will go uncut to vital ME/CFS research through Open Medicine Foundation. You can support the cause by purchasing the music on Bandcamp, iTunes or Amazon Music.
