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.

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. dirtycommiescum
