about

Well...my recording PC took a big crap this week so I was relegated to an old laptop with Reaper on it. So, no synths again, and it's not boding well for the remainder of this round. May end up having to keep it simple whilst I get my computer issues dealt with. That said...

Here's a frustrated exercise in Dadaism. The "other" chorus comes off as more of a chorus coda, but it is what it is.

lyrics

What are you waiting for
The moonlight exhaust
Thin film interference
Reflecting off the floor
A loud life lived abides
Eclipsing upstage wings
Moving along the tide
And crashing on the shore

Controls set for the hard hearts of the lost
Making our way back home
We don’t give a damn what it costs
Setting aside all sense
And the few hopes that ain’t been tossed

Reaching out for the last
The city sleeps tonight
Fly your rags at half mast
‘Fore it all goes to shite

Window pane cut the feed
We lost the signal flow
Iridesce on stones
Forgetting what you know
Tear drops crystalline
Burn scratches on the door
Call in the calvalries
On Marcel Duchamp’s phone

Controls set for the hard hearts of the lost
Making our way back home
We don’t give a damn what it costs
Setting aside all sense
And the few hopes that ain’t been tossed

Reaching out for the last
The city sleeps tonight
Fly your rags at half mast
‘Fore it all goes to shite
