NSFWLiner Notes
written right after midnight local time february 1.
finally sat down to record something...
it was supposed to sound something like this, i guess...
Lyrics
moving hands time the game round round round same same same
hours and minutes
ours and theirs
songs at midnight
musical chairs
play the intro
hatch yer plan
first midnight
since the new age began
orbs in motion time in flux missing seasons bag full of fucks
chords and chorus
lost romance
songs at midnight
sleepless dance
talk about the passion
machine learned rage
first midnight
since we turned the page
clock strike echoes down each lonely path premonitions of the aftermath
cartoon faces
clandestine raids
songs at midnight
harmony fades
reconsider
wayward ways
first midnight
for the rest of my days

Love the lyricism here - nice buried intro. Personally the guitar and piano is enough for me, but the beat does keep a nice pace with your lyrics.
Hey there, "first song of FAWM starts a capella" twin ;) This is great. The lyrics strike me as very Dylanesque, all these scraps of powerful imagery piled up leaning casually on each other, making a kind of kaleidoscopic patchwork of a song that's threaded together by the slowly expanding instrumental backing.
