My Lexicon - Sander Kleinenberg

I ran from the haunted mansion

Left behind my inventions

A talent for my own destruction

Is all I’ve ever owned

And in the dark a fog descends

The velvet edges split and then

The bright lights have found me again

Alone with a microphone

(So I sang)

These are the happiest days of my life, I know

Black anoraks, synthesized strings

Two tarnished tin wedding rings

Nostalgia for meaningful things is all I’ve ever known

These are the happiest days of my life, I know

My death scene played to no applause

Two angels came to my dire cause

Their voices like melodic

As they spoke to me and said

«Your darkness is brighter than

All the lights in the disco tonight

Your darkness is brighter, you are inevitable

Then why is she making me wait so long?»
