Tell me your longing
I'll tell who you are
Strangers
touch you
in the dark
We're all
voyeurs in our hearts
We're all
voyeurs in the dark
You stayed close to beauty
to wash you clean
But salvation maybe
only comes
through suffering
We're all
voyeurs in our hearts
We're all
voyeurs in the dark
No one came knocking
to take you away from yourself
smoking your cigarette
it was like in the movies
standing in the dark
destroying what you love
Autumn came calling
you leaned into the city lights
the beauty of it all
destroying what you love

Holy the black days
How do you dream
of yourself?
There's the dream of the burning house
There's the face in the crowd
There's the knife in the water
There's the knife in the water
Holy the pills that
lead you to dreaming
of yourself
Did you dream
of a dirty moon?
Did you bleed back
to the wounds?
You're the knife in the water
You're the knife in the water

I was watching
watching
I was waiting for a sign
that I've been here
I burned what I know
I burned what I owned
all I ever found
was an echo
Stay for the wine
come as you are
stay for the wine
the world's on your tongue
There's a house burning now
There's a train in the rain
There's a wound in the heart
so come

I Don't Want to Sober Up

I was dreaming of my great escape
There were hands moving through my cloths
Don't let me sober up
The past keeps coming up
There was a stranger lying on my bed
but I was dreaming of someone else
who's tongue is in my heart
Don't wanna sober up
I'm so divided
in this morning light
I'm just a voyeur in the dark
looking up at someone else's god
I was born with a golden face
but this holy boy wants a dirty girl
there are things in this heart
I don't want to know about
I've got one hand raised to the sky
I've got one hand deep in her dress
and the past keeps coming up
I don't want to sober up.
I'm so divided
in this morning light
I'm just a voyeur in the dark
looking up at someone else's god
I'm so divided
in this evening light
you can name your God
you can name your God

Give me Love
Give me God
I'll throw my life away
I'm gonna watch
in the dark
all the pretty girls are on display
It's never too late to
lose your life
you throw away your hope
to be free
Beauty is always dying
in the dark
Everybody's guilty like me
I'm pissing in the wind
twenty Dollar Bill
Money made a whore of me
I'm Night Washed
I'm Exiled
I'll always stand in my way

To the wasted youth
To the beauty
To the hazy nights in Amsterdam
To the all-night girls
playing in the night
who are throwing it all out
into the wind
Who are throwing it all out
into the wind
To be dreaming
with the streets again
To be chasing that
masterpiece
To the losers
in the game of love
To that longing
to be missed in the end
To that longing
to be missed in the end

Barzin Toronto, Ontario

Some of the musicians who’ve been involved in this project over the years are Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers), Sandro Perri (Polmo Polpo), Nick Zubeck (Sun Kill Moon) and Diana Planche (The Paint Movement). ... more

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 4 fans who also own “Voyeurs in the Dark”
Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten.
