Things (You're Not Getting Back)

psychedelic art rock, motown, sample-based collage

V6-MINI

[Interlude]
Drawing the losses that drill down into the skull. The sound of a door slamming shut, endlessly, in the warped and rounded echo chambers inside. No escape. No relief in sight. Just the cold and bitter truth of what's gone for good.

An undivided heart.
No escape. No relief in sight. Just the cold and bitter truth of what's gone for good.

[Verse 4]
[1930s newsreel, optical-audio hiss]
