about

A comfortable dissolution told through tales of strange illusion. Mellow and amorphous. But at least you're here with me to keep things cool.

lyrics

Light bulbs, time and your hairline.
Fading away.
The color of your jeans, the distance between us.
The dimming line of the horizon.

I read about a man who had a master plan to make it to the afterlife.
You got it. Fate fading now.
He built himself a million lies and stacked them high until they scraped the sky, then they all came tumbling down.
Fate tumbling down.

We’re talking as your cigarette’s fading away.
But the glowing embers of our stories will burn on til day.

I knew this fella, sailed his ship around the world until he filled it all with gold.
So loaded it sank down below.
He dove so deep to save a treasure that he couldn’t keep.
Now he’s gasping for air.
Fate sinking slow.

Dr. Philosopher poured his mind to quill and ink.
He dried that oil well right on up.
He wrote a thousand books by candlelight til they caught fire one night and burned his paper prison down.
Ashes to ground.

Heavy eyelids may take these tales from us tonight, but you and I will bring them back to life another day.

Fading away.
