Gestalt 03:18
When the light is on, your lens can breathe
 Won’t you come to me, you come to me
 When you ask the sky with no return 
I want to scream and shout and bring you down

 ‘Cause the answer clear is nowhere near 
It’s in your head not in the air
 The reason why is not that hard
 You’re just a part, you’re just a part of it

2.
Misfire 02:56
I never waited around for someone like you to turn me down
 I told you once, don’t tell me again 
I told you once, don’t tell me again 
I need this place to get me through just one more day without you
 It can’t be far, you can’t be far 
It can’t be far, you must be

 Well I was waiting for a signal in my head 
To tell me that you were coming home, you’re coming x 4

Asymmetry 02:58
4.
I’m not right it’s my mind
 The aching the faking
 It seems like the purpose
 is far less and worse than
 A left turn, a rug burn 
The bed bites, the late night
 Seems like the purpose aint worth it, aint worth it

 Hold close now the ending is coming, it’s coming 
Faster and faster, the blackness, disaster 
Tread lightly, it might be too frightening, the light beam Unconscious decisions, led you astray 
The nightfall, the panic, put you in place 
The minutes move faster, the seconds your master
 The freedom, the mindful, you won’t have, they won’t allow

 Hold close now the ending is coming, it’s coming 
Faster and faster, the blackness, disaster 
Tread lightly, it might be too frightening, the light beam 

You’re safe here
 With your plastic fork and a light beer
 The shallow dreams and nightmares 
The ghosts that pull but steer clear
 of lost intent and the heartache 
the step you want but you won’t take
 Left to burn the night away
 Left to burn the night Hold close now the ending is coming, it’s coming 
Faster and faster, the blackness, disaster 
Tread lightly, it might be too frightening, the light beam
5.
In the garden where we wait
 For the roots to invade us 
Like light through the window 
It paints and erases

 The thoughts you won’t have
 Not now, not ever
 About things you don’t know 
Too much far to clever 

To colors you feel
 Fake and misleading 
Like light from the sun
 When the clouds won’t stop bleeding 

And the thoughts you might have
 Not now not ever
 About things that aren’t real
 Not now, not ever
 Not now, not ever

Absentee 04:41
I'm overdone I'm overcooked but far from dull I think you won I have my back against the wall But I gave up Before I even knew your name Never enough 'Cause all the people are the same The soft sound of a voice asking for a friend of a hand that can be lend of a face that won't pretend It doesn't shout It won't know how Learning to fall Learning to crawl I found a place I found a place where we belong Another face Another story, sound, and song Sound and song...
7.
Now that no one is around
 Hear the mantra, sing the sound 
Let our bodies hit the ground 
It’s such a long way down

 Hear the screaming, hit the brakes 
Hope the blood is only fake 
Let the moment see your eyes 
Know that they won’t recognize 
It’s such a long way down
 It’s such a long way down 
It’s such a long way down

8.
Just because you breathe
 Can take a hit and leave 
Keep your money keep your shit
 I don’t want you, and I don’t want it

 Just because you bleed 
it’s the hit you need
 We ask for patience please
 You’re too hungry to feed

 Just because you fuck 
Down on your luck 
It’s the things you crave 
That will dig your grave 

Just because you hurt 
Just to make it work 
Doesn’t make it real
 Doesn’t make you feel

Out of the city and out of the life
 Out of your head just not that type 
It hits in ways but it’s hard to say
 Why I feel how I feel today 

Into the walls in your design
 Into the corner and into your mind 
It sounds wrong but it might be true
 But I’m not here when I’m with you

 ‘Cause you’re sittin’ on your high horse 
You’re lookin’ through a telescope 
You can’t see, you can’t see me
 Spend a night on the sun, you and me 

Out of the city and out of the light 
Out of your head, just not that type 
Sounds wrong but it might be true
 But I’m not me when I’m with you

 ‘Cause you’re sittin’ on your high horse 
You’re lookin’ through a telescope
 You can’t see, you can’t see me 
Spend a night on the sun, you and me
 You and me

 Softly spoken in between
 A piece of foggy memory
 Turn the thoughts below the line
 Sitting stagnant here in time
 When the planets don’t collide
 We cannot see what’s inside 
The elephant inside our space
 This is not a special place
 x2 This is not a special place
 This is not a special place
 This is not a special place

 You and me 
You and me 
You and me 
You and me…

When you told me you wanted more
 Your sanity was walking out the door
 Feelin’ nice with where I’m at
 But it’s not the drugs, it’s not

 When I feel your indulgent skin 
The score is gone, I always win 
It’s a rite of passing
 Sooner than the messenger

 You know that you’re not alone 
When you wish that you had never grown
 All the knowledge that’s in your head 
You’d never have without all your friends 

and If you’re feelin’ down 
At least you’re still feelin’
 and If you’re feeling down 
At least you’re still
x2

 Even though I didn’t win
 The prize is mine It’s no different
 Than your sunny disposition 
It’s so nice of you to listen 
If you’re feelin’ down
 At least you’re still around
13.
The Works 04:01
The circuit’s closing slowly
 The pleasure you don’t owe me 
You feel beneath your skin
 How could this be sin 
It finally approaches
 Passes you don’t notice
 The fires burning, burning
 The weak are learning, learning 
Take me wait no longer 
Body’s weak, but soul is stronger 
Soul is stronger Soul is stronger

about

Nigel & The Dropout Detroit, Michigan

The Detroit based two piece looped themselves into a spacious soundscape filled with soaring guitars clashing with heavily chopped samples, hard hitting percussion, ambient synth and layered vocal harmonies.

A nightmare of tangled cables and dazzling lights illuminate a performance void of the inhuman laptop automation and sequencing seen far too often today.

Everything you see and hear - we do.
