Reflecting Pool
Dawnwalker
Gazing at your navel when there's nothing left to say Will you draw the curtain when there's no-one left to blame You've buried all your shame and perished in the flame Now you must take your place In a reflecting pool Of a viscous black oil Black eyes stare into you Recognise the place Standing in your place Doppelganger Despair is a mirror and it's drawing nearer Step into the centre, an inverse nirvana Obsidian, look into its face Now you must take your place In a reflecting pool Of a viscous black oil Black eyes stare into you Recognise the place Standing in your place Doppelganger Don't look at me Turn your eyes away Forever curse my name Forever in the flame

ms. teresa neele disappeared on the 3rd, December 1978 for 10 days and claims to have no memories of what occurred to her during that time. She was later discovered in a disheveled state, living in a small hotel room in a small northern town, some 200+ miles away from where she was last seen near her home in berkshire. perhaps suffering from shock, she was never able to recover her memories from this period. based on witness accounts, police transcripts and the very few remaining bits of documentation about her case. 'In Rooms' and its companion album 'the convalescent' attempt to tells the fragmentary story of what may have happened to her in those missing days.
