about

When in doubt, play synthesizers and get fuckin' weird. No idea what I'm talking about, but it sounds cool!

Shout out to Agustín Barrios for the bridge that I completely lifted. Great classical guitar piece called "La catedral" that I co-opted here and played on a synthesizer.

lyrics

Words are an antique
Dressed in perfidy
I keep losing sleep
Over you

Silence speaks the truth
Can’t believe in You
Blind, but with a view
Killing time

Twas the perfect crime
The aching of the mind
Making reason rhyme
Cast aside

All the sinners cried
When the music died
Preacher man, he lied
Here we hide

Chilly afternoon
Spent it in my room
Faithless, I exhume
I’m a fool

Beggar’s Canticle
Psalm Unnatural
Evangelical
Gilded lies

Twas the perfect crime
The aching of the mind
Making reason rhyme
Cast aside

All the sinners cried
When the music died
Preacher man, he lied
Here we hide

Stench of cheap perfume
Pious, wicked few
Singing out of tune
Wounded pride

Put my mind at ease
At the Dule´tree
Ground beneath my feet
Close my eyes

Twas the perfect crime
The aching of the mind
Making reason rhyme
Cast aside

All the sinners cried
When the music died
Preacher man, he lied
Here we hide

  Dreaming comes the fall
Tearing at the wall
Saintly trumpets call
Burning sky

Pendulum in snow
Threatening the show
Dead, but so it goes
Catedral
