Dreamful, Dreamless

See no reason to go outside, no reason to see another life
As it's all too easy, as it's... All too easy
With all these pictures spread out in front of me, I'll study the case
Then take the escape and I'm stuck inside
Not a second too late I will
And I'm feeling to fall now
-Ohhh oh oh-
Woke up I fell asleep, what's the difference?
All just one haze on me, well what's the difference?
Find myself in a dreamless state all the same
Could not trace the moment I lay my head and I awake
Love is all around me
But all my friends are in binary
Doesn't quite give the same push and pull as life did
When you come around with
Each time you come around with...
And I'm feeling to go now
-Oooo oh oh- Ohhh oh oh-
Woke up I fell asleep, what's the difference?
All just one haze on me, well what's the difference?
To walk without, without a doubt to walk
To walk right, walk right out to walk
Take flight from my desk and taste the air
Take flight from my desk and breeeeeathe the air
To walk without, without a doubt to walk
Woke up I fell asleep, what's the difference?
All just one haze on me, well what's the difference?

Well isn't it a shame, as we do wake too late
And I see the hand of the clock tick by on by
Tick by on by
Put on clothes and dry our hair
A decision we'll make, some hopeless conclusion we'll draw
By the end of the day, if it's ever dawn
So I guess we'll call it a day
Call it to another day
This act doesn't carry a series of zeroes and ones
As there's a little less or more of zero
A little less or more of one
Spent about half our time
Just trying to get on the right side of the day
And what I've learnt from this coming of age
Is that the world, for us is an unforgiving place
Upon the fear of making a mistake
-Trip and fall by your side, pick each other up-
To trip and fall by your side
So I guess we'll call it a day
Call it to another day

A Tale Of Periscope Eyes

There's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
Only sees what it wants to see and what it wants to believe
There's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
World don't be mean to me, it's not what your meant to be
Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more
Pitter and patter, flitter and flatter, goes the sound of the rain
From my window to yours forever and more
A sight I'd die to live and see
Doesn't quite fit into place
And in a second I'm there I see
Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more
-Ohhhhhh-Ahhhhhhhhh-OoooooooooooOooohhh-
Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more
If there's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
If there's a little periscope called my mind
Won't let it set it's periscope eye on it
As you're getting your news from the mail daily
And I'm getting mine from the canary
I guess there's a world in which we could be
A little more independent
With a (The) Guardian weaving through the columns
O' column after column

Memory is a strange old trick, should it be something to address?
Memory is a strange old trick, should it be something to undress?
See the body behind there
Double mirrored I am right now and seen as I can see
The crook in our neck, for once wasn't unfamiliar
There's more to be read
Now here I am the passenger
Doctors, loved ones, heavy lifters, weight off the shoulders
-Instrumental chorus-
No pain do I feel, just structure as a symptom
My postures are postures of some
Should it be something to undress?
Then you took me up and I'm glad you like the work of surrealists
As their heads tilt to there, whilst their shoulders rests down here
Whilst the waist dances it's circles
Now here is a weight, I'm advised not lift
Why bother feeling weak when everyone around me can lift it
Your awareness seems to show contempt, why is that?
Just see us while we're here
Then ask questions to find out my limits
Our spines won't just, disappear
You know I shouldn't hassle with this
So a wonder spells you to check
After every bump in the road, as who knows what it was...?
O memory you strange old trick
-Instrumental chorus, end-

Pohádka

The headlines are read out in a hallway of mirrors
But it's clear now to see, you before me
Each corner is turned, there's no illusion
As to whose angle is whose
A change of direction
A turn of hand
The same direction
Turn the hand- It's the same direction
In arms is where we rest our head
After I raised my concern my voice got drowned out
By a tyrant reciting a holy violent text
And suddenly I get a bit tired
After the dozenth fairy tale, oh to soften the blow, oh
Looking up at the hill while going down one
I tell myself one tower is awake, the other asleep
In arms is where we rest our head

Tom Gunn Nash Sheffield, UK
Mostly self-taught, I write folk songs as a way of telling stories and challenging my own way of thinking.
Tom Gunn Nash recommends:
Falling Off Chairs
by Tender Prey
Wonky and weird pop at its best!
go to album
One moment delicate, then very explosive playing the next. This record captures Victor's diverse pieces in a spontaneous and undiluted form.

Zoom In Zoom Out
by Mally Harpaz
Dreamlike compositions with experimental textures and hypnotic rhythms. Mally's music has made a big influence on what I create.
