lyrics

Lyrics:
I can see the light even though I know it isn't there
I can see the light even though

I can see the light even though I know it isn't there
I can feel your touch even though I know you've dissapeared
I can read your face even though it's just a lonely stare
As I start to wonder what is or isn't there

I'm not here
I'm not here
I'm not here
I'm not here

Please mister misery at least just leave me be
You speak with tongue of mystery
And I don't want to know what you have to say anyway

Who of you can say you've displaced the space you own
Your time on earth is a loan and you'll spend it all alone
If you never grow away from the child of yourself
If you never grow away from the child of yourself

Please mister misery at least just leave me be
You speak with tongue of mystery
And I don't want to know what you have to say anyway

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. ... more
