WAIT A MINUTE

BLACKBOX (2017 DEMO)

1 STILL LIFE

Written in 2001 for a planned metal style collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt, this song has been revisited several times since, but I could never really make it fit the style of whatever I was doing at the time.  In the meantime the album with Mike finally happened, but in a completely different style to the album we planned 10 years ago (it's coming out in April).  So finally here is the orphan song Cut Ribbon - this is the latest version from the 2010/2011 Grace For Drowning sessions.  Gavin Harrison on drums (recorded in 2008), all other instruments SW.

You're Fired

Dream of a way and a time and a place
I'm plagued by the thought of the sad on your face.
So I slept in the clouds of your eyes to get high,
and I painted them rose trying not to pass by.
But slow I sank like poison or a pill or toxic rain
that gently eats away.

Ran like a coyote to backtrack my grief.
(Crazy at last and with sharp broken teeth)
And it didn’t seem likely that I could retrieve
A patience for life that would give me relief.
But swift you spread like pollen or a laugh or ocean crests
that gently lap away.


Canis latrans

I meant to tell you I'm in pain
Better off if I refrain
But I wish you well

Believe me it's alright
Believe me 
Try another night

I meant to say 
What's on my mind
I meant to say
What's deep inside

Believe me it's alright
Believe me
Try another night

I wish you well
