lyrics

I have to ask, do you remember me?
two week arrival, manual assembly
you lost your cat, you don’t like dogs
you ordered me from a catalogue

please don’t spoil me
but you can oil me
please don’t flatter me
just charge my battery
I don’t want to spend my life alone
I am your automatic friend

and now I wait, have you forgotten me?
two weeks of love was all you offered me
shut me away, you blamed your family
they wouldn’t understand the way you looked at me

(chorus)

now in the dark I sit and wait for you
this regret must not turn into hate for you
sooner or later you will return for me
I have to hope that your heart still burns for me

(chorus x 2)

(c) 2018 Vom Vorton

about

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
