Lapse - Lyrics - B! Machine

The band was formed in 1996, consisting of the sole founding member, Nathaniel Lee Nicoll. The current line-up of the band varies but typically consists of Nathaniel Nicoll, Mike Hayden, and James Wong. The meaning behind the name B! Machine has been veiled behind the cryptic remarks of Lee Nicoll since its inception.

Somewhere a light Goes out on two lives Rain starts to fall Almost on cue Seconds will pass That could have been ours Fall on this shore Where we should be Listening to the voice in my head Where we should be Cursing the clouds instead Why are we left Sifting through ashes A permanent lapse Is all that we'll ever find Somewhere a sun Sets on two live Forever ends Like and ordinary day Somewhere a door Closes on two lives Silence is all Almost on cue A permanent lapse Is more than we'll ever know
