Magical Times

Pissing in the Sink - Single by Turbo-Laser

Pissing In The Sink

Gallows

Bad Start To The Year

Somewhere out there you can hear them, the velvety echoes.

Velvet Echoes

First recorded in December 2022.
From the album Salt.

It's a song where I asked myself "what would it be like to live in a lighthouse?".

LYRICS

Avoidance, takes its toll.
Never minding, any goals.
Always hiding, in your hole.
Never binding, to the whole.

A table, spread to eat,
A window, to the sea,
A white wall, not complete.
Nor flower, nor a tree.

A sunset, or a wave.
A shipwreck, for a grave.
A whale's song, in your head.
A lonely, tourniquet.

An old hat, on the peg.
A corner, for your bed.
A lamp light, shining free.
A collector of memories.

The freedom, you can't see.
Imposing, you can't be.
Not needed, obsolete.
Automaton, left replete.

A lighthouse, all alone.
The raging sea, down below.
Piercing, through your heart.
A lamp light, through the dark.
