lyrics

They're hiding in the attic
they're hiding in my brain
I swear I heard a sound
that I can't explain

There's spiders on the carpet
but on second thought
when I blink and look again
they've gone up in smoke

A shadow's creeping
across the floor
and that scratch here on the wall
wasn't there before

The darkness in the garden
sends shivers down my spine
like there's something in the laurels
of the lurking kind

What's the point of logic
when you can't separate
the fiction from the facts
Is it real or imagined,
how will you know
if your mind puts you on the wrong track

What's the point of logic
when you can't separate
the fiction from the facts
it's the the strange and the common
stirred to a blur
with your reason under attack

What's the point of logic
when you can't separate
the fiction from the facts
Is it real or imagined,
how will you know...?

Hybrid (album)
by Michett

If you like Igorrr, Blue Stahli or Infected Mushroom, you should definitely check out Michett. Former guitarist of Within Temptation who discovered electronic music. I did all his artwork, by the way. Kalipluche

Straight Stories
by Chabliz

Interesting pop noir / gothic jazz trio with a vocalist that has a dazzling range. Music like a good glass of wine. Can you recognize their totally unique cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean? Kalipluche

The Formula (EP)
by Vintage Futura

My other musical outlet: Vintage Futura. We're an indie pop duo with a more band-like sound, compared to Kalipluche. Heavy or acoustic, we like to mix it up, as long as it's catchy as hell! Kalipluche
