This was tracked at Headphone Treats live on camera.

lyrics

Leave Me Alone

I've been known
to act absurd
to be betrayed by my own words
the secret's sprung
in my treason
so just leave me alone

'cause I need time
to enlist
all my logical gifts
when we're through
we'll make sense of you
but don't leave me alone

I've thrown out everything I own
just to be stripped down to the bone
I've burned up every word I wrote
and stand here now one naked note
so there's nothing more to say

'cause I've been caught
without my tongue
and played charades
for everyone
our team lost
the game was dumb
so just leave me alone

I'm incapable you see
of illustrating fantasy
and how it feels to know
it's not real
just don't leave me alone

I've thrown out everything I own
just to be stripped down to the bone
I've burned up every word I wrote
and stand here now one naked note
so there's just this left to say

in the tangle of time
how will our lives be intertwined
I don't know
I just hope
you don't leave me alone
don't leave me alone

DIAMONITE
by OLGA BELL

Soothing vocals to sporadic, angular, beats & warm synth tones. Great melody & harmony. Just experimental enough, but accessible. Think Bjork meets Broadcast. Check out the "Chase No Face" video, too. Jimmy Ether
