current affairs

lyrics:

everyone is leaving
everyones fading away
it’s gonna be like this
the light is at the corner store
light is at my home
the light is shrinking once again
i’m losing where the destination is
sitting at the barstool
my ex friends to the left side
i’m drinking looking like a fool
i wish i could say that im sorry
just for nothing
nobody cant stand it anymore
I get so mean
I drink myself to sleep
i text like I am always out of

Indie singer-songwriter verses with ethereal touches and electronic instrumental choruses. Contemplative, nostalgic, spots of melancholy, and a bit of heat in the instrumental breakdowns. There are more songs related to this one in the works, including an instrumental that builds on the chorus material.

LYRICS:
Living here today on a road they'll never pave
It's a shame, there's a glimmer
There's a glimmer!
Turn around before it fades... too late

I hear it had a name and they sold that yesterday
It's ok, or not ok
But the river is muddier today
And those glimmers glow ever dimmer by the day
By the day

Waking up today a willing castaway
Puts a finger toward a glimmer
And it's brilliant for an instant then it fades
I swear

Gazing at some dirt, a hush floats in then bursts
And a million screaming shadows form a picture
that will soon go up in flames
Watch it closely as it decays
Disintegrates

Up there around the bend, a graveyard full of friends
No one tends golden patches
And the cabin is overrun with copperhead snakes

So shall we cross the golden meadow?
We'll go together now

And Those Glimmers (Prototype)

song off of a currently untitled album, which will be coming out eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Lyrics:
I see water 
Lapping upon the heels
Of a body hung in trees
Stretching out to God

I see flowers
Scattered before the dawn
Rotting under decay
Burrowing underneath

I see plastic
Wound around the pallid skin
Of a faded memory
Clawing at the door

I see flies
Hung upon the bloated corpse
Of a figure 
Drowned in regret

If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?

I see mist
Condensed upon remains
Stained
Where they chose to pass
And lay down dead

I see morning
Leaving the trees wanting
Waining
Where we lost ourselves
As the sun swings high

If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?

I See Plastic

Attempting storytelling lyrics lol

Lyrics:

He said, "Every night I pray to God, 
'Take me away, take me, your son!'
And if there's fuck all to be done,
I'll do it myself i have a gun."

"Where else do I go? I don't know."

He said, "Every night I pray to God, 
'Take me away, take me, your son!'
Every night I'm on the run,
from myself, from anyone."

"Where else do I go? I don't know."

Apartment C

Inspired by Salamov's gulag novel.

Lyrics:

Hullócsillag-befőttet ettem ma reggelire veled
Hullócsillag-befőtt volt a vacsorám is, de nem tudtam elmesélni neked

A sötétkék ég felettem lyukasztva pihen, a kezemet nyújtom felé
És eszem a sűrű, édes csillagtejet ami a konzervből csordogál felém

Én énekelnék neked, amíg ez az akkordmenet nem lesz unalmas
Nem tudom betömni a fejem
És találkozok veled a percig, amíg az ébresztőm hangja aktivizálja eszem.

Halló?

another super rough first draft demo, this time with my first attempt to program drums and a bass (with mixed results).

he’s special
got a graveyard of potential
popping kick flips with the devil’s
not so wrong

ineffectual 
misdirection is perpetual 
like a brainwashed intellectual 
i’m always wrong

i’m wasting time
i killed my soul 
waking up in bars
i don’t know 
burnt inside
by ethanol 
i don’t mind
well I don’t know

empty temple
from the tombs he rises gentle
casting doubt, humming celestial
solar songs 

be careful 
at a crossroads of the sensual
lies a vineyard of potential 
that’s thick and strong
 
i’m wasting time
killed my soul 
waking up in bars
i don’t know 
burnt inside
by ethanol 
i don’t mind
well I don’t know
