Within a moment's time the final grain of sand will drop. Upend your hour-glass, old man, or the universe will stop.

Lyric Written during Breaks at work.
Recorded May 2025 on Ableton Live.
improved mix slightly (14/06/25)as there was a Glitch in my Ableton software:)
I tend to view most my stuff a demo as they would be better with Alt Vocalist and Mix/master.
enjoy or not choice is your:)Feed Back welcome:)

Lyrics:

 Bruises for Kisses

You offer me bruises 
Mistaken for kisses
You offer me apathy 
Mistaken for love
When I can't be 
Just what you want me to be
You laugh and tell me
I'm not good enough.

You offer me apologies 
Wrapped in deceit 
Wrap your fist around my heart
Until in battered and blue
Squeezed every piece of my love
Until there was nothing left
Then laugh and tell me
It was me and not you.

You wrap me in barbed wire
Mistaken for comforting arms
Offer indifference 
Then call it love
You offer me torture
Like it's some  kind of release 
You laugh and you tell me
You did it for fun.

You offer me bruises 
Mistaken for kisses
You offer me nothing 
When I gave you all that I am
It really so sad 
That I let you  and love you
You  laugh and then tell me
You did it because you can.

           (ORPIN2025)
