Radio, live transmission Radio, live transmission Listen to the silence, let it ring on Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun We would have a fine time living in the night Left to blind destruction Waiting for our sight And we would go on as though nothing was wrong And hide from these days we remained all alone Staying in the same place, just staying out the time Touching from a distance Further all the time Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Well I could call out when the going gets tough The things that we've learnt are no longer enough No language, just sound, That's all we need know, to synchronize Love to the beat of the show And we could dance Dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

All we ever wanted Was everything All we ever got Was cold Get up, eat jelly Sandwich bars and barbed wire Squash every week into a day The sound of the drum is calling The sound of the drum has called Flash of youth Shoot out of darkness Factory town Oh to be the cream Oh to be the cream Oh to be the cream Oh to be the cream Oh to be the cream Oh to be the cream

On a winters day When the skies were gray I went inside The grove Beside the great oak tree I found a journal Of one who came before And bared his soul Shameless curiosity Fervently reading Uncovering The tormented soul Hoping The twisted writer Would return to love me So we can heal our woes Everyday I will stand beneath the oak Waiting for the enigmatic individual Everyday I will stand beneath the oak Waiting for the enigmatic individual By the thaw of spring My heart will be Chilled by passion And warmed by hope In the grove i'll stay Until the day The deity returns And soothes my bones Shameless curiosity Fervently reading Uncovering The tormented soul Hoping The twisted writer Would return to love me So we can heal our woes Everyday I will stand beneath the oak Waiting for the enigmatic individual

Caressing, bent up to the jug again With sheaths and pills invading all those stills In a hovel of a bed, I will scream in vain Oh please, Ms. Lane, leave me with some pain Went walking through this city's neon lights In fear of disguising my warping seething pressure lines Among confidant heirs, intangible of price Trying so hard to find what was right I came upon your room, it stuck into my head We leapt into the bed degrading even lice She took delight in taking down my shielded pride Until exposed became my darker side Puckering up and down those avenues of sin Too cheap to ride they're worth a try If only for the old times, cold times Don't go waving your pretentious love He's soliciting on his tan brown brogues Gyrating through some lonesome devils row Pinpointing well meaning upper class prey Of walking money checks possessing holes He offers his services Exploitation of his finer years Work with loosely woven fabrics of office clerks Any lay suffices his eye I came upon your room, it stuck into my head We leapt into the bed degrading even lice Took delight in taking down my shielded pride Until exposed became my darker side Puckering up and down those avenues of sin Too cheap to ride they're worth a try If only for the old times Don't go waving your pretentious love Dark entries Dark entries Dark entries Dark entries Dark entries Dark entries

Up for three days Up for three days Down underground for six more Incisions cannot penetrate my feet Tripping, gliding, falling numbly Hands held together with unwanted skin Ripping, hiding, calling dumbly Oh You, in houses of mud You, in gutter sleep love You, born to slaughter-swathed gloves You dressing daughters and sons Like you, I am broken and fragile Like you, I am tasting my heart for the first time Like you, I am feeding on slumber Like you, I've left my eyes far behind me Down for the count I'm still drowning I'm still drowning The eighth day Sleep, the eighth day Clawed my way back to the first No gentle fingers collapse on my eyes Weeping, prying, struggling blindly There's no sanity standing me back on my feet I'm in an empty room I'm burning books from you I'm lost in bed with you Breaking these mirrors to end all I've seen Like you, I am broken and fragile Like you, I am tasting my heart for the first time Like you, I am feeding on slumber Like you, I've left my eyes far behind me Down for the count I'm still drowning I'm still drowning I'm still drowning

[Background audio: sounds recorded by a cemetery fence at midnight] When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven’s gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

about

Can you make a ("goth") album without drums, synths, professional recording tools...or even ever meeting in person? Well, we tried!

This project is a love letter to some of the songs we both adore. It was also our way to stay sane during quarantine isolation.

Legal note: I did pay for the licencing rights to cover and stream these songs! You can email me if you need the proof of this. For "Enigmatic Individual," I got written approval from the artist (This Cold Night).

about

Cadaver Cable Florida

Formed in 2019, Cadaver Cable is the passion project of a Florida goth, and, sometimes, his friends. It's made up of 2am compositions, phone voice memo recordings, twenty-dollar keyboards, sore hands, and desperation.

A friend of the band jokingly referred to its genre as "corpse-core." Another said "it has a very deranged haunted quality." The genres of the albums are not consistent at all.
