Smoke in the Mirror

Lyrics

Intro
(Warped tape hiss, detuned electric piano chords, shadowy reversed ambience)

Verse 1
Smoke in the mirror, turning slow
Where the neon fades, the shadows grow
A midnight whisper on the tape
Tracing figures without a shape...
Left the silence on the line
Counting beats in borrowed time...

Chorus
Low frequencies pull me down
Through the haze of this silent town
Wobbling bass and ghostly keys
Drifting away on a nocturnal breeze...
Half-whispered words in the neon glow
Moving fast, feeling slow...

Verse 2
Elastic drums in the heavy room
A raspy song in the velvet gloom
Reversed memories begin to sway
As the strange synth flourishes fade away...

Outro
(Ghostly sax fragments, elastic boom-bap fading into tape haze)
