lyrics

I got lost inside the desperate days I have stumbled on
Blank expressions crumble to dust,
lie awake on this dirty floor.

All we made were some vague ideas I could lean upon
Isolated, crumbled to dust,
laid to rest on this dirty floor.

And silence will not let us breath in, as it hangs in here
Thoughtlessly I gather the threads so you can disappear

This impression, and many more
Lines we're sketching upon the soil where no seeds will grow

These cannibalistic words,
encapsulated by distant floods
of your expression turning to love,
streaming onto this dirty floor.

And silence will not let us breathe in
And silence will not let me in

And we'll fall away through the dust of this new age.

about

The Contortionist London, UK

The Contortionist is me, Andy Hirst; usually alone, but sometimes with friends. We even had a proper band for a while (The Contortionist and The Wandering Boy Poets).

I've been in a load of bands over the years playing various things: drums in Nixon, The Broken Chairs, and The Purgatory Players, guitar in Situationists, guitar/keys/vocals in Japanese Sleepers and Fall Forwards.
