9. k49 - 'Whisper To Your Flinch'

Length: 3:32
Early mixdown track (TMV)
Offcut from/intended for Bedlam or Octahedron
Presumably recorded in Bedlam or Octa sessions, 2007-09

Personnel: Cedric, Omar, Juan, Pridgen

Seems to not have all parts fully recorded, or effects added yet (in a similar way to the Deloused Summer Sessions), but pretty complete
The 'When it calls me' line was apparently sung in a pre-Tetra jam at an Australian gig in 2008
There is some debate as to whether this track is from the Bedlam or Octahedron eras, or of it was possibly associated with the scrapped TMV album that became Xenophanes.
Confirmed to be Pridgen

Lyrics:
I forgot (sounds like pitrone?)
Has brought you all this grief
The function in my retina
Keeps staring on

And when it calls me
Im always never here
To dust for prints in case I die

A whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
Whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
Vanish into air and leave an empty throne

Find the missing poles
Electricity
Even with bolts you throw
When it keeps staring on

Weapons in the attic keep stumbling patiently waiting for the bolt to fry
But none of your kin are answering the telephone lost inside the wrinkling vine

And when it calls me
Im always never here
To dust for prints in case I die

A whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
Whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
Vanish into air and leave an empty throne

(Have it/habit?) be lies you never told
Have it be ones you can reap
A hesitant pause in the smirk they give
Is reason enough to believe

The face I heal is peeling off
And underneath is no one
