Foggy Aperture

from Torsion Pendulum by Lee Saunders

/

about

Also from January 2018, this was intended both for this album and for the as-of-yet-unfinished Fiddling While Romo Is Rebuilt various artists release, which is me and a few friends pretending to revive the mid-90s new romantic-ish Romo genre. The influence is primarily synthpop then, with sad lyrics.

lyrics

Stationed with myself
Fantasies bribe me with innocence
Sometimes I do just kept swept away
On the most mundane of days

And oh
I drag myself back to the harsh daylight
Directionless and where I have no plan
How tediously dormant is time

Can't you see it though?
Well you live it just fine, so you ought to know
Though, at once blue and grey, guess who's all alone
The train that crashed ages ago

With events like staccatos so sporadically placed
I keep one foggy aperture right over my face
Inertia ain't blissful if you exist with no trace
I keep one foggy aperture, a trusty malaise
It's cemented the years, long since lost count of days
Years of recollection rendered merely a haze
It's only logical that there's comfort in a daze
When the years pass on by and don't take me on their way

And it still ain't much
The sea gives up its dead at the slightest touch
And I still don't feel harlequin as such
Wonder who's eyes meet mine first

Leaks over the brim
Retreating and yearning with fettered limbs
Compromise might be somewhere in between
So nothing that comes from within

With events like staccatos so sporadically placed
I have one foggy aperture right over my face
Inertia ain't blissful if you exist with no trace
I have one foggy aperture, a trusty malaise
It's cemented the years, long since lost count of days
Years of recollection rendered merely a haze
It's only logical that there's comfort in a daze
When the years pass on by and don't take me on their way
