about

1st track on the Flicker EP. Written during a power cut caused by salty fog.

There is a really beautiful video for this track created by Chris Tootell (stop-motion animator for Tim Burton's 'Corpse Bride'). Watch it with your eyes at www.youtube.com/paperbeatscissors

lyrics

Flicker, fall
I was drowning
Your full eyes call
"This is sinew, this is muscle"

"Come down", I call
"I'll let you in here, but you can't stay here"
A window, a door
the cold that's in here was here before

See right through my eyes, see nothing right
Fall right through your hands, slip under,
I push right through this
I don't think
I don't speak my mind in time
We fall like matchsticks, the forest's on fire

Flicker fall, I was drowning
far from shore, take those numbers, so far out now
drowned all four walls. Take them all out, shining, round, black
All eyes console
I'll pick you up now, put you down now
