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

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

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

Perennial Departure

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

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...

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

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

A Night on the Sun

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

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

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.
