The twisted tale of being locked into a body with more than one of you inside. Halloween isn't the same without a Beckett Banger and this year is no exception!
For your talkbox rasping, slapbass slapping, heart racing pleasure... this is Sleeping With The Light On.

Sleeping With The Lights On
A twisted tale of Dr. Beckett & Mr. BKTT
Verse:
(Dr. Beckett) Round about midnight,
(Mr. Beckett) Baby, I got the lust!
(Dr. Beckett) Never seen him, but he’s out there,
(Mr. Beckett) ooooo it’s quite the rush
(Dr. Beckett) Moonlight breaks on the road to home.
(Mr. Beckett) I’m the shouts for the dark abyss.
(Dr. Beckett) Then my view goes black,
I kinda loose all track,
Hear the screams coming from the mist.
(Mr. Beckett) What you doing?
(Dr. Beckett) I recall but its like a film.
(Mr. Beckett) What you doing?
(Dr. Beckett) Feel the cuts of the hardened steel.
(Mr. Beckett) Oh, What you doing?
(Dr. Beckett) Can watch as I see the hell,
(Mr. Beckett) Don’t understand?
You’ve got savage hands!
(Dr. Beckett) I thought I knew myself so well?
Pre chorus:
Consequence without reason,
Masquerades begun.
Between the memories and madness,
(Dr. Beckett) I’m a tale of two in one!
Caught in the enigma.
Hear my silent plea?
Outta body, taken over!
(Mr. Beckett) Yeah it was me… yeah!
Chorus
Think you know yourself?
(Mr. Beckett) I know I’m better!
Disturbed tendencies?
(Mr. Beckett) Just a little bit of fun.
Dark unchecked desires?
(Mr. Beckett) Maybe?
(Dr. Beckett)I’d be sleeping with the lights on.
(Mr. Beckett) Sleeping with the lights on.
Our Duality,
(Mr. Beckett) like a double act.
Lurid biology.
(Mr. Beckett) I got the looks. I got the looks.
At Times I scare myself!
(Mr. Beckett) oh baby.
(Dr. Beckett) I’ll be sleeping with the lights on.
(Mr. Beckett) Sleeping with the lights on.
SOLO
Pre chorus:
Consequence without reason,
Masquerades begun.
Between the memories and madness,
(Dr. Beckett) I’m a tale of two in one!
Caught in the enigma.
Hear my silent plea?
Outta body, taken over!
Chorus
Think you know yourself?
(Mr. Beckett) I know I’m better!
Disturbed tendencies?
(Mr. Beckett) Just a little bit of fun.
Dark unchecked desires?
(Mr. Beckett) Maybe?
(Dr. Beckett) I’ll be sleeping with the lights on.
(Mr. Beckett) Sleeping with the lights on.
Our Duality,
(Mr. Beckett) like a double act.
Lurid biology.
(Mr. Beckett) I got the looks. I got the looks.
At Times I scare myself!
(Mr. Beckett) oh baby.
(Dr. Beckett)I’d be sleeping with the lights on.
(Mr. Beckett) Sleeping with the lights on.
(Mr. Beckett) You’ll see you can’t get way from me and the darkness, even if you wanted too.
I’m loose on the street, it’s me, but it ain’t, you can’t escape, even if you wanted too.
(Mr. Beckett) Sleeping with the lights on.
(The Darkness within) Sleeping with the lights on.

Gunship leans hard into the DRAMA of the synthwave genre, which is really what it's all about. It's burn... intensity, kinetic energy, triumph and tragedy. The arrangements rise and fall, and the textures weave everything together into a ride you just need to get on, throw up your arms, let the wind blow back your hair, and enjoy. Peace Mob

This is a special band. Got to see these guys in concert and got to meet one of them casually at a small bar, and they are a talented, class act through-and-through. This is a joyous record with anthemic songs for those days when you need a lift. Timpy
