lyrics

The heroine’s done for the night
Labored in her breathing
Icy wooden floors
Resonate and splinter
Into a labyrinthine construct
Her boots muddy from the high tide

Turning the lights out, turning the lights out
Turning them out she makes it clear
It’s not going to be a new day
For her to sense the depth of the seas
No auspices, just fitful sleep
Enough to make her disappear

Her head still filled with the noise
From the fiery tempest
Red surrounds the haze
From the moment she was cast down
Alas, she crawls through the blackest fields
Crumbling walls of the gravest courtyard

Brought with her a scattergun
Will blow their brains to kingdom come
There will be no surrender
The bloodiest crypt of a thousand leads to the underground

Signs, they just meet her
Or else she just knows to take a turn
Too wise to let the seconds be owned
Sells herself as more and more ticks break
Ticks break, taking her away from escape
This cloister held in the depths of hell

Beneath the dirt it lurks
Forever in the terror
Her mind’s a curdled maze
Envisage a head case
Blowing apart the pirouettes
Their endless streams of swirling hatred

Turning the lights out, turning the lights out
Turning them out, she makes it clear
It’s not going to be a new day

Jason Vitelli New York, New York

Cinematic rock music with a vision; this is Jason's sound in a nutshell. His songs are vignettes, narratives, painting a picture with intertwining lyrics and melody. Much of his writing is influenced by the experimental rock of the late 1970’s, marrying folk sentiment with the avant-garde crosscurrent of Berlin era Bowie, Kate Bush, Olivier Messiaen, James Joyce and Eric Dolphy. ... more
