1.	Soon Enough 04:05	lyrics	buy track
You will be getting used to waking up all alone Like the sun, light reflecting in your eyes Wake me up, Soon enough Wake me up, Don’t give up House of glass Open window Soon enough All alone Soon enough It’s all in my head It’s all in my head Wake me up It’s all in my head It’s all in my head Wake me up Waking up Waking up Soon enough
2.	Crossing 04:12	lyrics	buy track
You’re the talk of the town Your ship’s going down I won’t let you drown without me ‘Till my last breath, you know I won’t let you go Into the unknown without me Stop, look and listen by the streetlight, every night I will be crossing the county line, after midnight (for you)
3.	Once in a While 03:44	lyrics	buy track
So there you go, on with the show You’re down again I guess Left in the dirt, you stole my shirt You’re bored again I guess Once in a while come find me So here we go, on with the show We’re down again I guess Back in the news, you stole my shoes You’re bored again I guess. Once in a while come find me Make me forget, don’t blind me Tell me my name, remind me Pull all my strings, unwind me Take your time and I will take mine See you there, do you even care? Even though I won’t let it go Take your time and I will take mine
4.	Buyer Beware 03:40	lyrics	buy track
I can see, there could be Something more, when it’s over Take me there, I don’t care Just let me know when it’s over You and I are well-aware So, let the buyer beware When it comes around again We will think it over then Rather be nobody Let me sleep until it’s over When you go Will you know What to say When it’s over? I want you to Look above you Know what I do I don’t owe you
5.	Finish Line 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Do you remember when I took your cigarette? It’s probably still there Hasn’t quite hit you yet And now it’s always dark, 5 am wake-up call Just a walk in the park, drag me through urban sprawl Remember how you said you never would forget? Still waiting by the phone All dressed up, all alone Do you remember when I took your cigarette? You’re probably still there Hasn’t quite hit me yet You’re the life of the party I’d rather stay behind You’re always starting something I’m at the finish line Say what you can’t explain to everyone at the table
6.	Speak 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Yesterday I heard you say That I can rub you the wrong way Lately I’ve been out of touch I talk too little, think too much Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease Speak of the devil, and you will be pleased You don’t like to be surprised But I am not as advertised Face only a mother could love Your silence fits me like a glove Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease Speak of the devil, and you will be pleased
7.	Deep End 04:37	lyrics	buy track
There’s a fire in your backyard But I’ve noticed you’re not home There are wires to connect you Phone is ringing, you’re not home Say whatever comes into your head Into the deep end The more you descend The further you’ll be from here There’s an old car in your front yard slowly rusting, you’re not home Still some old scars, leaving you marred Knock on your door, you’re not home Would you rather leave it all unsaid?
8.	Into the Woods 03:36	lyrics	buy track
You don’t know just what you’re feeling Sinking in your seat Stop the car, open the door, and Taste the bittersweet Into the woods behind your house Memory taking you there I don’t know just what you’re thinking Still here for the ride Falling leaves, it's getting colder Won’t you come inside? Into the woods behind your house Memory taking you there We don’t know just what we're doing So, we’ll float around Spend some time, inside your mind Until we hit the ground Into the woods behind your house Memory taking you there Sitting quiet as a mouse In the peaceful nowhere
9.	Undercover 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Make your mistakes I don’t think about you anymore Those are the breaks Now I’m spending all my time indoors Under cover, barely breathing Overwhelmed, underachieving Do you like what you’re seeing? Sleeping violence, waking silence Please think of me When you’ve got nothing to answer for Too much TV You’ve been spending too much time indoors Do you believe what you’re seeing? You’re a model human being Do you like what you’re seeing? Sleeping violence, waking silence
10.	Half-Mast 04:25	lyrics	buy track
The more I learn, the less it shows Just smart enough to know how much I don’t know I’m just a boy dressed as a man, Play make-believe, ruining every best-laid plan And now I wonder What you still see in me Half-mast, half-under It’s all I think about these days The more I learn, the less it shows Just smart enough to know how much I don’t know

about

A collection of low-key songs made by a low-key guy in a low-key room. Written and recorded partly before some sort of pandemic and partly during it.

PURCHASE ON VINYL THROUGH OSCARSON RECORDS: oscarson.bandcamp.com/album/dormer-s-t

Some nice things people have said:

"Dormer. is a winding and listless album in the best way possible. The songs transfix and unfurl over three- and four-minute stretches that never wear out their welcome but all work towards constructing a singular, mystifying world." - Swim Into the Sound (bit.ly/3im5q7k)
