lyrics

You Are Not Here

She spoke in silhouette
ten feet away
yet her voice was in my ear

She was illusion
she was counterfeit
she was perilously near

She came from nowhere
she was elsewhere
she was falsehood, she was flame

She called me stupid
cockamamie
and she called me by my name

She said I speak sincere
you are not here
you're not here and I can prove it

I only speak the truth
and I'll give you proof
I'm telling you I speak no bullshit

She said:
You are not here

She said:
Are you in Texas or in choich?
Are you in Poland or in Phoenix?
Are you lost within the Vatican?
Or drunk and bruised in Essex?

She said I speak sincere
you are not here
you're not here and I can prove it
I only speak the truth
and I'll give you proof
I'm telling you I speak no bullshit

She said
She said
She said
-
She said:
You are not here

I said:
No I'm not in Texas nor in choich
I'm not in Poland or in Phoenix
I'm not lost within the Vatican
or drunk and bruised in Essex

You say you speak sincere
That I am not here
I'm not here and you can prove it
You only speak the truth
said you'll give me proof
I'm telling you, you're full of bullshit

She said:
If you're not in Texas, nor in choich
If you're not in Poland or in Phoenix
You're not lost within the Vatican
or drunk and bruised in Essex

Then you must be somewhere else
somewhere else in truth
somewhere quite completely other
and if that's really true
If you're somewhere else
then you can't be here, my brother

I said...
I said...
I said...
I am not here

The Bleeding Hours London, UK

Bluesy noise, twang, ill-feeling; no melody too pretty to be utilised then fed into the wood chipper.

"like getting eaten by alligators"
