Comedown 06:15
Slow me down if I'm going too fast Make me dance, make it rain Spin my head around, make it last I need your hurtful arms around me I need my crooked comedown to find me Show me the truth behind your eyes Your naked breasts beneath the ice I want those frightening thoughts to guide me My walls are leaking horror to blind me You smell like the rain to me You hold my breath to see, For how long I can hold on How long I can hold on Blown away on the train out of town Pick me up, firm your grip Break me down, break me down Your eyes have glanced too long behind me Forever will and always to blind me But only with you my hands are bound Tucked down into your grip About to snap you back if they were to find me I never thought they ever would find me But you've always been pale to me I hold my head high to see For how long this can go on This never made no sense at all And if I'd die before today Or if I'd lie to stay This won't ever go away It'll never be okay

Last Call 03:35
There's something in these waters I don't think I feel it yet But I've found an easy way to stand it Drugs and cigarettes Brother, my dear brother Did you get my last call? Ordinary grief Extraordinary thief I'm walking amongst strangers And I've lost all self control Have you got my number? Call me when you're done Listen to the silence of this poisoned Sunday night I am made of silver You are made of gold Brother, my dear brother Did you lose your self control? Call me when it's over Call me when it's done Sometimes I am sure I hear you Sometimes I am not The sun is slowly dying up there, All will come undone

Moscow 04:00
I put my coat on inside out So you won't see me while I hide From all those things that lurks outside, The pouring rain inside my mind I wish you'd stay here by my side Although this pounding pain I've been assigned For these four years I've spent behind, This inner beast I have designed The only thing that turned me blind, The only one I was denied And by the time we reached Moscow My love for this had disinclined, With all those things that slipped my mind You oughta know when you've gone blind I want you here right by my side To cease this pounding pain I've been assigned For these six years I've spent behind, The faces I won't recognize The only one that turned me blind The only one I was declined

Why do I always get the feeling that she's looking straight at me? I laid my love down on the ground I sold my life to a smoke machine Cause that's all we are, and that's all we'll be Diamonds in the sink She took off her clothes as I lost the key to wherever I want to be And as the rain keeps pouring down And when the clouds still covered the sky There was a riot near the border and the streets were filled with dust Forget bout' this town, forget bout' the smiles Forget all about our dreams If you still were alive you wouldn't like what you'd see A constant misery I feel near as frail as porcelain And she is near as cold as snow I used to love her more than everything She used to shine as bright as gold See that's all there is, and that's all there'll be I'm stuck with this disease Now I'm sleeping alone, pulled the cord to my phone Is this all I'm gonna be? Why do I always get the feeling that she's staring straight at me? I laid my love right down on the ground I sold my soul to a smoke machine Cause that's all we are, and that's all we'll be Diamonds in the sink She took off her clothes, I lost the key to wherever I want to be

1000 Hours 05:10
I'm talking backwards to myself I couldn't spell it out just clear enough to get my point through and out And now you're looking at me funny I don't want to come inside But there's a different part of myself I'm struggling to keep up with And now I'm lying to myself again And if I lie here on my own Or If I'd die here all alone Just tell me that you'd take me down You'll let me out Just another dollar blown for rock and roll I've got a bad fever again You didn't bring it up, strangely enough, So maybe you have finally forgotten Or ran out of lies to tell me I've been struggling just enough, But to your judging eyes it's a surprise, To see that I'm not able to go further And I won't ever find it funny Another crack in the movie screen A different song on the tambourine Just keep it up, I'd kill some time just to get it right But you would rather waste your nights away Than spend them all on me She's not the type, She's not the type She's not the type that lends her heart to me In one way or the same, She's not the type (she's not the type) She's not the type (she's not the type) She's not the type that gives her love away At any time or any place

Tonight 04:49
I'll be waiting here until my conscience clear It's hard to force these words For the better or for the worse I'll be waiting here until my thoughts are clear I should've never shown You should've never known But tonight you'll feel it too Tonight I'll stay with you (C'mon and be, My doll, c'mon and be)

She smiled at me from beneath, Yellow strobing streetlights And gone again like a ghost I tend to fall for everything And then this silence I can't comprehend You took the fall for me, And so I fell for you Into the crust and the tilt Shallow figurine of guilt Darken up now, honey bunny It is time to pretend (You've got to reconsider every word to be a winner) She looked as if the sun just cracked In the back of the buzz, There is no turning back So I forget and I learn and I raise the bar And go a hundred million miles, Just to get to where you are I'd like to learn your name, I'd like to start a flame I'd play the perfect game I would go all the way But your eyes won't fix on me Your eyes won't fix on me Hard to impress, hard to suppress Like venom in my blood I know I'll never forget Head alone in the night when the snow still fell Although it may not hurt now, Buckle up for the bang Love your eyes are dead cold Can you give me a sign? I can't do this alone I can't take this on by myself Pavement sky, starry night, city lights Like a bullet to the back Your knife cuts deeper than mine The smack and the tilt She's my figurine of guilt The pepper of this afternoon Coax me, I want to feel your love just like I did before you hoaxed me Out of everything and everyone It chokes me like a pillow pressed against my face And soaks me in my own denial

Slugs 05:00
I took my time to recognize And realize the time's gone by I took you off, worn you out Your hands are cold And so are mine I warmed you up fifteen times You cut me off and broke me down And crawled away into the woods Where the rain won't fall And sun won't hurt You called me up and said some things Bout how much it hurt to be with me Now it's all alright, very fine You've had some luck but I've lost all mine Took my time, apologize Spit it out and say goodbye Cause you look so good And you dance so fine And you look so good And we'd dance all night But her tongue is sharp Eyes are harsh Stop me right before I start It's time for a something I don't know Been hooked onto something You're all wrong You're all wrong All along You're all wrong You called me up fifteen times Cut me out and break me down

The Void 04:49
Death is after me, Death is at my door Everyone will see Everyone will know I hate all my friends I wish they would die Death is calling me, Death keeps calling me I am not afraid I can see you staring Death is at my door Everyone will know Everyone will go Everyone will hear People they have ears Everyone will hear I don't miss you yet You still haven't left I'll miss you when you're gone Maybe after that I want you to die I wish you were dead I want you to die It's wrong to force a smile I want you to die

about

The Void is the debut album of Swedish singer-songwriter Eric Dantanus's independet rock project The Graham Situation.

“The Void is dark with a hopeful underlay, psychedelic lo-fi, if you may. There is an endearing quality that pulls you in and for the 40 or so minutes it takes to listen to the album, you’re pulled into your own little world. It’s a trip.” - Leah Lovecat - Dingus

"This is definitely something different and it is sure to put its mark on the independent music scene." Andrew Maffettone - Bombshell's Tavern

"The Void puts Eric's full musical talent on display as a beautifully noisy collection of tracks that cohesively flow through an emotional roller coaster of fuzzy guitar and angsty vocals" Steven Newcastle - Solar Underground Music
