about

New Zealand artists Black Velvet Butterfly from Auckland and DateMonthYear from Hamilton, have teamed up for a new single song release called ‘Slipping Through my Hands’

“‘Slipping Through My Hands’ is about a melancholic vampire, having an existential crisis. After all, vampires are only immortal if they stay out of the sun and away from vampire hunters.Yet time zooms past so fast especially for vampires. You couldn't help but feel you were hurtling towards your inevitable bitter end. Like time was slipping through your hands, like sand”

lyrics

Words:James Castady- Kristament
Music James Castady- Kristament/Trevor Faville
Sitting on my own sipping on this glass of wine.
I’m feeling all alone. I go there all the time.
I never understood why it hurt so bad
I’m constantly exhausted.

Because I know It’s all slipping through my hands.
I haven’t seen a sunrise since the day I turned
I watch it on the silver screen where it wouldn’t burn.

Is it really living If you live forever
Or am I just pretending I’m so very clever.
Because I know It’s all slipping through my hands.

Surfing on my phone
Laying on the sands of time
Waiting for cows to come home
I go there all the time.

Because I know It’s all slipping through my hands.
I haven’t seen a sunrise since the day I turned
I watch it on the silver screen where it wouldn’t burn.

Is it really living If you live forever
Or am I just pretending I’m so very clever.
Because I know It’s all slipping through my hands.
Yeah I know It’s all slipping through my hands.
haven’t seen a sunrise since the day I turned
I watch it on the silver screen where it wouldn’t burn.

Is it really living If you live forever
Or am I just pretending I’m so very clever.
Because I know It’s all slipping through my hands.
