a truth about romance

my thirst for romance,
died the day i met you.
my sincerity sinks,
pulled along by sunken angels,
with rusted halos,
and heavy wings.
who struggle to breathe,
as they’re forced to sing,
hymns of better times.
but happiness is fleeting and flutters,
only brief until the wings are torn off,
and my heart is ripped from my chest.
can i truly say that i tried my best,
can i truly say that i tried my best.
i’m swimming around in misdirection.
(i’m slowly sinking away).
you’re drowning me in false affections.
(i’m slowly sinking away).
only truths reside in this shallow pool,
where i see.
your smeared lipstick pressed up against glass,
splintered reflections in the hollow chipped mirrors,
the anaemic sheen of pale anxious skin,
existing in neapolitan cosmetic dreams.
i’m swimming around in misdirection.
you’re drowning me in false affections.
i’m swimming around in misdirection.
you’re drowning me in false affections.

point and laugh
mock...
the mockingbird
cripple its wings
stamp on his throat
can’t hear him sing
another cliché phrase
said with a smile
ear to ear
another performance
no payout this time
try fight back
throw a punchline and miss
face your crowd
take a bow, blow them a kiss
as a bouquet of roses
lands at your feet
applause begins
everyone’s out of their seat
the jokes on you this time
the jokes on you this time

Misery Never Forgets

This band and SeeYouSpaceCowboy are spearheading the scene revival and I couldn’t be happier. Skronky and emotional riffs converge with emotional vocals that manage to be raw and brutal and very expressive at the same time. I love this record.
