unique, different, unusual, experimental, instrumental, atmospheric, moody, weird, mellow, morbid, nice, nasty

A genre is the last thing on my mind when I make music, or write lyrics. Different experimental music with moods varying from mellow to morbid and from nice to nasty. Theres so much variety in the songs its hard to say what to expect.

Song about a deaf mute long term patient in a mental asylum.

Lyrics

OH I LIKE THE WAY THE SUN, CASTS THE SHADOWS OF MY BARS ACROSS MY BED SHEETS
IN THE MORNING AS I RISE UP, RUB MY EYES

AND THE NURSE RETURNS ONCE MORE, GENTLY PLACES DOWN MY FOOD TRAY THEN SHE LOOKS UP WITH A SMILE AND WALKS OUT BACKWARDS, LOCKS THE DOOR

(CHORUS)
AND THE HALLWAYS ALWAYS BARE, PEOPLE STARING AT EACH OTHER OR THE FLOORBOARDS
WALKING IN A LINE TO THE COBBLESTONE COURTYARD
WHERE OUR DUTIES FOR THE DAY WILL GIVE US PURPOSE
WILL IT HELP US, WILL THEY KNOW (DO THEY CARE)

HOW LONG NOW, I’VE BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG I CAN’T REMEMBER
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER
MY MOTHER BROUGHT SOME PRESENTS FOR THE CHRISTMAS DO

THAT WAS WHEN I GOT MY FIRST BIKE, I COULDN’T REALLY USE IT IN THE COURTYARD
THE NURSES LET ME SIT ON IT AT BREAKFAST TIME
AS THEY FED ME AND THE GROWNUPS WITH A SPOON

AND ANOTHER DAY BEGINS, AND THE NURSES AND THE PATIENTS DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE TOLD TO BY THE ONES WHO KNOW, OR WHO THINK THEY DO

(CHORUS 2)

AND MOTHER VISITS ME, SHE BRINGS ME FLOWERS AND SHE STAYS FOR TEA
BUT THE NURSES ONLY BOTHER ME, AND SHE CAN’T STAY FOR VERY LONG

AND I WISH THAT I COULD STAY WITH YOU, I CAN’T TALK TO YOU OR HEAR YOU
BUT BY SIMPLY BEING NEAR YOU, I CAN START TO FEEL AT EASE

AND AS THE YEARS PASS I SIT AND LOOK OUT AT THE LONG GRASS
AND THEY KEEP THINKING THAT THEY’RE HELPING ME, BUT HOW ARE THEY TO KNOW

AND I WISH THAT I COULD STAY WITH YOU, I CAN’T TALK TO YOU OR HEAR YOU
BUT BY SIMPLY BEING NEAR YOU, I CAN START TO FEEL AT EASE
