lyrics

Telling people what they want to hear
Is crying wolf when you disappear.

Different person to different people?
Take a step back: whack-a-mole, whack-a-mole.
Different people own different parts of you?
You’re a condominium.
Q.E.D.
What’s the fee?
Condo fee?
Quand tu es libre?

Here is a rack for all of the hats you wear,
Here is a camera for your soul,
And this type of film should work anywhere.
I hope you can finish the roll.

I can’t let you leave without giving you a—
It’s not—I don’t—I do—I wish—I know—
I’ll doubt I’ll ever have—no I want some—
Seven o’clock I’ll meet you over at—
At. To. For.
Before. Because.
De da da da.

Here is a rack for all of the hats you wear,
Here is a camera for your soul,
And this type of film should work anywhere.
I hope you can finish the roll.

Are you in that place where everyone
Goes to be alone? Get it? Everyone
Goes there to be alone, look around.
Or is it too dark to see a foot in front of you?

Come out.
No one can make you come out.
I can’t make you come out.
Only you can make you come out,
So make you come out.
“Go out, me.”
Come out, you.

And here is a Madeleine for your memory
And here is a fountain pen for your heart
And here is a paintbrush for your poetry
And here is a garbage can for your artifice
And here is a picture frame for your honesty
And here is a passport for your pride
And here is a compass for your company
And now you got nowhere to hide

Et quand tu te montre a tout le monde
Alors, tu es libre, vraiment libre.
Et quand tu te montre a tout le monde
Alors, tu es libre, vraiment libre.

about

Disappearing Ink Baltimore, Maryland

New album 6/1/23 from Baltimore songwriter/producer Lawrence Lanahan's band Disappearing Ink! On The Charm of Abstraction, Lanahan abandons guitar for mesmerizing synths, intricately programmed beats, imaginative sampling, and occasional rhymes. Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
