Oh, the words I did not mean Oh, the feelings left in me Oh, the distance tears at me Oh, the silence when you leave We, with quiet, held the leaves Slipped against the change in heat Lines swept bare and tension weaved Somnolence and silent me Everything in bandages Patchwork, needle, smack again Crumbled backwards, sad intent Swearing I'll be back in ten Oh I swear I meant those words Before radios went cold, but Silence found the planes I missed Interference, signals twisted Felt the words swim through the air Sent them back, but less prepared Typhoon here to make me blind Make me feel like I must hide Oh, the words I did not mean Oh, the feelings left in me Oh, the distance tears at me Oh, the silence when you leave
2.
Fuck every flag between Happiness, souls meeting Fuck all the borders that Keep me Out of your arms and Landlocked away from the Warm feeling that your Voice sings From single cell to tax codes Mass spectrometry and gangs And every means to communicate I still can't hold your hands From global politics and The movement of tectonic plates From the unlikely chance we met To no borders holding us back And with your thoughts in the air This distance is unfair I'll sing to death from here, my dear Until your soul feels near From single cell to tax codes Mass spectrometry and gangs And every means to communicate I still can't hold your hands
3.
Silent, open Cold and endless When will this glow How does this flow Who really knows Who really knows What's in the snow Why be alone When will you go When will you go Fuck if I know Fuck if I know Why don't you loathe moths in your clothes Who don't you loathe when you're unclothed Hej sötnos, hej sötnos When will this glow How does this flow Who really knows Who really knows
4.
No human can promise us oxytocin and warmth And soul mates are comforting, but always of glass And through kaleidoscopes And sleeping telephones Or nothing new I guess I'll find you at the light Lose it to oversight Or just give up and rest No one can promise us A home that is enough Or freedom from the snow And it's a lottery Shouting across the sea Pining and still alone No hums fill this emptiness, you know who is there And always a call away, but distance unfair An airplane launched for every business trip I'm sitting silent at the window sill A vehicle for all the dots between My spot and yours and everything we mean And through kaleidoscopes And sleeping telephones Or nothing new I guess I'll find you at the light Lose it to oversight Or just give up and rest
5.
You'll need a crutch to walk again You'll never love the way you did Before your friends finally learned You are the fallout and the burn Rent out your heart to any soul That makes you feel like you're at home Chalk failure up to your mistakes It's all your fault you live this way Refract through endless crest and trough Put yourself down for every cough You missed by slowing down your heart You missed out slowing down your heart Find flux and fluid, moving life New home for every fucking knife You thought would finally stop your heart You missed out slowing down your heart

about

This one's for everyone that's ever thought the distance between alone and understood was a matter of geography and kilometers, this one's for someone I missed to that misunderstanding.

about

I'm Alone Houston, Texas

Experimental electronic music for bats, for the inconsolable, for the dead, for the addicted, for the too hopeless or too hopeful, for the people that see therapists, for the limerent; sounds for the anxious, the grieving, the lucid dreamers, the starving artists, the people that can't get it together, for anyone that's ever felt alone in a room full of people. ... more
