[Verse 1]  
She says,  
It helps with the lights out.  
Her rabid glow  
Is like braille to the night.

[Verse 1 – Shift]  
She swears  
I'm a slave to the details.  
But if your life is such a big joke,  
Why should I care?

[Chorus]  
The clock is set for nine,  
But you know you're gonna make it eight,  
So that you two can take some time—  
Teach each other to reciprocate.

[Verse 2]  
She feels that my sentimental side  
Should be held with kid gloves.  
But she doesn't know  
That I left my urge in the icebox.

[Verse 2 – Shift]  
She swears  
I'm just prey for the female.  
Well then hook me up and throw me, babycakes,  
'Cause I like to get hooked.

[Chorus – Variation]  
The clock is set for nine,  
But you know you're gonna make it eight.  
All the people that you've loved—  
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.

[Chorus – Reprise] 
I've been swinging all the time.  
Think it's time I learned your way.  
I picture you and me together—  
In the jungle, it will be okay.

[Bridge]  
I'll bring you when my lifeboat  
Sails through the night—  
That is supposing that  
You don't sleep tonight.

[Verse 3]  
It's like learning a new language,  
Helps me catch up on my mind.  
If you don't bring up those lonely parts,  
This could be a good time.

[Verse 3 – Shift]  
It's like learning a new language—  
You come here to me.  
We'll collect those lonely parts  
And set them down.  
You come here to me.

[Outro]  
She says brief things,  
Her love's a pony,  
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,  
Her love's a pony,  
My love's subliminal.

She says brief things,  
Her love's brief,  
My love's subliminal.

[Coda] 
She says brief things,  
Her light is brief,  
My darkness eternal.

A fractured post‑punk hymn to fleeting connection, ironic intimacy, and the ticking pulse of time.

“The Clock” is a jagged meditation on intimacy and irony, ticking through fractured verses and surreal confessions. With Interpol‑inspired guitar work and post‑punk detachment, it captures the ache of connection that never quite lands — a love that’s brief, subliminal, and always half a beat off.

Lryics | Every Time I Smudge I Think Of You

You linger in the cedar air
Like lies I used to say in prayer
Ash on my fingertips, 
your creepy ghost staring at my hips.. 
Still burnin' down what you wanted to fix
That Palo Santo 
don’t ask why
It just curls like truth 
into the sky
I strike a match, 
you strike a nerve
This is the smoke 
I still deserve
Said you were light,
said you were love
But brimstone fits you
like a glove
Every time I smudge I think of you
Sandalwood lies and a holy view
You talked like heaven, showed your fake
Smudge this mess you tried to make
You left your cross beside my bed
Right next to all the snide remarks you said
I swept the corners, rang the bell
But peace don’t live 
where egos swell
You wore that faith like a big red flag
Invading all the peace I thought I had
Every time I smudge I think of you
Sandalwood lies and a holy view
You talked like heaven, showed your fake
Smudge this mess you tried to make
You called it sacred, I called it mine
You ran your mouth, I took the sign
Now I smudge this room, I light the flame
And it seems I already forgot your name
Every time I smudge I think of you
Sandalwood lies and a holy view
You talked like heaven, showed your fake
Smudge this mess you tried to make
Every time I smudge I think of you
Your creepy grin I could see right through..
Yeah, every time I smudge…
I think you

Every Time I Smudge I Think of You

Backseat Stargazing


She leaned in close, like the world was dead,
Whispered secrets she’d never said.

And in that room, I held a ghost,
Of a woman running, holdin’ on the most.

She dressed in silence, eyes to the floor,
Like a thief who couldn’t steal no more.

No goodbye, no promise made—
Just perfume lingerin’ where she laid.

So Goodbye after all


So Goodbye After All

"We are all prisoners of the dusk, dreaming of a dawn that never comes. For in the abyss of night, even stars are but dying embers—fleeting and frail. And when the wind howls its lonely hymn, remember: darkness is the mirror where lost souls recognize themselves. Here, in the silence of eternal shadows, the heart becomes a desert… and the light, a distant rumor."
