Boards of Canada - Roygbiv (cover)

Written for R/Songaweek 2025

-Vacancy-

These aren't my eyes
that is not my smile
this is not my voice
not my decree

Those aren't my words
This is not my body
This is not my time
but it's my disease

Went out to pick cherries
there was rot at the root.

Tried to talk to my neighbors
but my tongue had gone mute 

Told my arm to shake hands
and it thrust a salute.

Tried to show you my heart
it was blacker than soot.

This is not my drawbridge
this is not my chain link fence
this is not my warning sign
these people aren't my friends

this is not my algorithm
these are not my fickle whims
these might be my marching orders

But these won't be my willing limbs.

This won't be a curtain call
This won't be a moral failing
I might be a caution story
but I won't be another zombie

Vacancy
