I’m afraid of my shadow like a child
So keeping it shallow will be my style
“It’s only taking place once in a while”
Boy, that’s the voice of your denial
Close your mouth, open your eyes
Creatures lurk out in the night
You barely made it out of the dark alive
Let’s see some effort, stay alive
Wait, I don’t know if I’m ready just yet
Wait, besides I shouldn’t start 'til I see the end
Wait, I gotta clear the cobwebs from my head
Woah-oh-oh
Please don’t turn the lights on around me
My poor eyes will not be able to see
Every time I try love it ruins me
What did I do so wrong?
I never answered when you knocked
or ever knew quite how to talk
Without it turning into static shock
You’re leaving me a note in pandora’s box
It says “I know you want to change,
Got your whole life to rearrange
But all you’re really doing is swapping names
How about sit down accept the blame
Wait, I don’t know if I’m ready just yet
Wait, besides I shouldn’t start 'til I see the end
Wait, I gotta clear the cobwebs from my head
Woah-oh-oh
Please don’t turn the light on around me
My poor eyes will not be able to see
Every time I try love it ruins me
What did I do so wrong?
Mostly recorded during late nights, hence the title, this EP is full of whispery synthpop that is both beguiling and mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2022

A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
