about

"Mike Nisbet's latest single made its way to us as a CD in an unaddressed envelope underneath the door and appears to be three minutes of static. When we found a CD player, it melted. Our intern, Michaela, had to be hospitalised. She only hums a single, melodic tune. Three stars." J.Drew

lyrics

Bring me a vibration that's lethal
Sweet like sugar, slick like diesel
What a primitive dawning
When I awoke this morning
Neck deep in my own evil
Positive I saw a lapse in fright
Hustling through all this disgusting sunlight
Slip slip slip slip away
Bring me the glorious end of the day
Bathe me I the peacefulness of night

Let’s escaped the night, our time, escaped our age
Release my heart, from the killing, from the cage

I was free
Was it a just a spectre of love
I was free
It was always love

On my heart, a warm hand, in the night
When crawling inside each other felt right
But there’s three white horses coming after me
Three white horses are in a hurry
And I’m ready for their bite
I know you feel all that fear on the breeze
It couldn’t possibly last as log as we’d please
Come come come codeine
I can hangout in the space between
Lay and love with me and ease

Cause I’m sharply disappointed and blue
I think back on when all those streams of love would do

I was free
Was it a just a spectre of love
I was free
It was always love
I was free
Was it a just a spectre of love
I was free
It was always love

Never know love without a storm
Never met a heart that wasn’t just a little bit torn
Weren’t we all led by our tongue
Bonus points for dying young
I had a mouthful of blood when I was born

So send out those signals to your lover
Don’t we all carry a little dagger for each other
We’re both unpredictably perfect
A galaxy, cosmos, universe we neglect
Everyone of us blood brothers

Turns out you can’t go back
Yeah there were some worries and I felt them stack
Sure times were hard
Sure year times were thin
But wasn’t there skin on skin didn’t lucid lips smack

Your lips are a slowly appearing dream
Was inside of me the whole time it would seem
