Care if I meant Care if I touched your make-up? Who'd of known that I could make a hole In the moments In-between all your asking Headed down the furrow I'm afraid of What I can tell when I say nothing Saying 'It's fine' but It can't make me hold my own Even with all my asking You know my wrongs It feels like Forever My omen To fake you in my head I could never wait Never wait Of all my Freedoms They come opposed to seeing you in my bed I could make you wait Make you wait Madness We create the solvent We create the arc so much That juniper holds the tasking As we tear apart Now my offering It could not affect the facts of years Permutating I'll regret the words you won't forget But I'll forget Building notes of every time I check if I'm ok I've rung out the surface heart It feels like Forever My omen To fake you in my head I could never wait Never wait Of all my Freedoms They come opposed to seeing you in my bed I could make you wait Make you wait

Of the ones we meant to fake And the ones we meant to break I'll take everything you own And besides my mental state In a million other ways I'll take everything you won't Sometimes we could do it over and over I could never, Almost ever falter And we hold onto dismay Over promises I made Please take everything I don't And my love I can't display Though attempt before I fade Please take everything I don't Some nights we could put them shoulder to shoulder I could never Almost ever falter And the ones we said we'd change It'll never be like May We took everything we owned

I made out I spent hours To make How to best return How to best remain out And spent out Away How to end enough How to So there With a fang in your prey Cos you’ve been asking your friends Was that all nihility Might Might I've played out I've spent hours I've wept How to best return How to make a pain route Remake doubts Repent How to run them up How to You are So far Due time at last The more to my witness Mine I made out I spent hours On it Doubt you'd even up Doubt that you'd remain out Afar now Awake How to end enough How to end your name I made out I spent hours On it Doubt you'd even up Doubt that you'd remain out Afar now Awake How to end enough How to end your name Did all Did all Did all Did all I made out I spent hours To make How to best return How to best remain out And spent out Away How to end enough How to

From my seat I've heard enough I can't be the frame this falls upon Stand in doorway half undone This could be the end you always want And when I'm messing up And the way we're fraying up Couldn’t hear me saying stop You don't think I've said enough Couldn't tell you from the top Couldn't the sequence back to front By the way I'm fraying We're down to the minute but I couldn't give a fuck I was only in it for us Do we take me out or not Hours to the minute You're forcing it I could make the edge more sharp I swear I have made the air more or less a friend I could be the end of your heart as you know From your seat you've cared enough This could be the prayer you called upon I'm a head-case I'm a front You should take the door I always blocked And there’s a point Arrows miss the head and miss the mark Courage is a coin I spent too fast Taking myself out isn't a point I'm making Im saying You know that I'm fraying You know that I'm aiming And I'm missing the mark We're down to the minute but I couldn't give a fuck I was only in it for us Do we take me out or not Hours to the minute You're forcing it I could make the edge for sharp I swear I have made the air more or less a friend I could be the end of your heart as you know But you mustn't know

Something you kept From my chest It's got some things that I needed you to protect Hold on while I turn to dust While I turn to some people I don't trust So low I got And you noticed from the start On this leg I might break I might cry You might not The coats we shed Under the flare I'm surprised there's even something left A tiny patch The rest is mud I keep your voice to help me tame my blood It makes me torn And you make the mend But I'd never ask you out of respect Can we waste time When I get back And now I'll promise I won't be like that And I'll pretend to be the perfect man The perfect friend Perfect right hand And you might not Want to take me back When you find out who I am I mean I'm not the worst Yeah I'm not that great And you're the best You're the

about

After releasing Tin almost 3 years ago to the day, Nearly Oratorio (AKA Simon Lam) is set to release his third EP entitled A Comforting Fact (due out May 24). Nearly Oratorio is the musical project that allows Lam to take mental refuge from his other, more serious, music making projects. Each song on A Comforting Fact is purposefully minimal, precisely produced and unapologetically honest. The release is scattered with exposed, intelligent and purposeful melodies. Vocal harmonies that create entirely new tonal centres, allowing each composition to propel forward and develop. The use of minimal groove and implied rhythms, many of which can be felt but not heard, allow the imagination of the listener to fill in the gaps they feel should be there.

Drenched in the hiss of white noise, the first single, entitled ‘Juniper’, demonstrates Lam’s insight and nuance in the mastery of phrasing and build. ‘Juniper’ is “when you've hurt someone more than you believed you could, and no matter what you offer nothing will ever really make it up to them. The best you can do is not grab for them as you drift away from each other”.
