Garden 03:57
Today, Let's censor ourselves today; Censor yourself and pray! Let's censor ourselves today Tiger Lily, break it down: You're a flower — I'm a man, I'm in garden — it must be Eden or something... What if I'm flower, and the gardener dies now? What if I'm color, and you're paper or canvas? Let's censor ourselves, Let's censor ourselves; Censor yourself and pray!

Cloak 02:14
My cloak is all my life, I bought it second-hand from one who lacked the time The hook I put my cloak on Is the crescent moon behind my shoulder Bounty hunter, I'm a bounty hunter! "Are you a player?" "Bounty hunter, I like it so much!" I just can't believe it, but my head is the one (hanging there)...

When the sky... Oh, baby, when the sky... Baby, when the sky... Baby, when the sky is lead, Would you put it in your head? No worries, man No worries, man I say, "No worries, man!" No worries, man Don't you ever-ever cry When the sky is blue, I know that I should go away; And when the sky is lead, I know there's nothing I can do; And then the sky is red, you know, it'd been for hundred years! Before it disappeared

Weep you no more, sad fountains; What need you flow so fast? Look how the snowy mountains Heaven’s sun doth gently waste. But my sun’s heavenly eyes View not your weeping That now lies sleeping Softly, now softly lies Sleeping Sleep is a reconciling, A rest that peace begets. Doth not the sun rise smiling When fair at even he sets? Rest you then, rest, sad eyes, Melt not in weeping While she lies sleeping Softly, now softly lies Sleeping

Eyes 04:04
They look at me, They look at me. See? They do look like mine, Like mine They run and flee, They hide — I seek. See? We are much alike

We will never arrive to the place Wherever we could stay together If I were a sailor Who sails the seas forever, I would sail around the bend And then right back I will never arrive to the bay Wherever you will wait forever, Where we could stay together, Where we could sail forever

about

Have you ever noticed, how your dreams tend to leave traces? Even when they seem to fade out entirely. Like objects thrown into the water and after they hide under its blanket forever...

about

TONGUE CUT ENVELOPES Graz, Austria

TCE is a musical project created by Michael Begak, singer-songwriter currently residing in Graz, Austria.

Taking after early Ariel Pink, Ty Segall, Tim Presley and distilled to absolute basics, — a body and a tape machine — its goal is to explore his lo-fi and home-recording inspirations from the days recording technology was able to come into our homes for music to be born there unrestrained.
