In Fading
03:37

A cage with a skeleton displayed
Performing in fading light
It’s not about the money this time
It’s the heart inside starting to fossilize
Inhale, in time guilt fades from mind
One harsh reality to forget about
A stain pressed in against the grain
Reluctant to pacify
A bit of luck would help us this time
It’s the heart inside starting to fossilize
Inhale, in time guilt fades from mind
Transcribe lucid dreams of summer while there’s time

High stakes
Take my eyes
Gifts of wildfires
Fragments of myself
Sow the earth with body parts
Debilitating appetite
Regretfulness lives deep inside
Attrition, one month in
Unable to forgo my fear
Nutrition, keep running
Unable to cure my rotten core
Stargaze through turbid skies
Gagged with hands tied
Fractures in my spine
A fault line divides shorelines and lifetimes,
before I realize this chasm has me defined
Before dependence takes me
Before the void is all around me
I might take a respite for a limited time

Five Minutes

|
Inclined to put it on credit tonight
Wind on my face, I think I’m too high
Cutting the pavement, intertwined
A hit that leaves me fucked up by the street light
A six of stones, I hope you know (split between)
It’s not enough to keep this afloat
Back at mine, let's wreck the floor (wreck the floor)
Before this euphoria ceases
Self-doubt, distress
Framework laid
Close call
Fake friends dissipate
Confronted by ghosts, ongoing
Can’t bother to scream, indifference
Besides, what would you have to say?
Don't worry, this house is empty
No hurting tonight, it’s ok
Besides, what do you have to leave behind?

Chameleon Strategy
05:11
|
|||
|
Track and weigh, spend the same
Every day, shift the blame
Far away ships decay
Cables cross in a grid-like way
Navigate your unraveled state
Bound in sorry it lies
A mental flume
Every compromise made too soon
Twisted line of sight
Steadfast, stubborn
Lacking desire to overcome
inherent dissolution
I can hear voices now,
But responses linger
Back to the gold
The bag is empty
So forget it

Metamorphosis
03:41
|
|||
|
Rising, a stark reflection
A dreadful bug exposed
Losing local language
Gaining skills unknown
Lock the door
Shut the blinds
Earning is not in question
A good for nothing son
Approaching acute starvation
Bound to this private slum
Fragmented acts of kindness,
preserve some sanity and humanity
But at night the windows speak
And one night, eternal sleep

Formalities
05:21
|

|
Drowning me out!
It's getting way too fucking loud
Good nights were had,
and you don't really seem too proud
Sharing a bed
Just a formality for somebody who can't be alone
Your hand in mine for a time
short-lived as it was
We were young
We were not ready to go home
Illuminate every corner,
of this goddamn house
Justifiable
Washed away
Doubt soaked into these old walls
Call it denial
Eager to disclose who’s
pacing down these halls
Tearing down the walls built for two
Led me out to the dark
Closed doors to the heart
Pressing on
Still looking for an honest home
Having a road laid out in front of you doesn't matter much
With the sight of you still sleeping
Or so I thought
With hands too cold to touch

In Due Time
03:24
|

|
There is no thrill in it
Just time and tears to shed
Grasping to reach the end
Bending hard truths to fit
the fear inside this room
Please just come home soon
Taking time to dwell
Lips projecting air
Flares to seed
Ideas never leave
Planning for the worst
Imbalanced mind to bear
It’s in the skin I wear
Forever tied too tight
It won’t subside,
But in due time...
Hopelessly alone
Constantly revolving
Rapidly consuming all I see
Signing faith for sale
A rebound that surrounds
Self-inflicted fate to share
I see it everywhere

A Room For The Weekened
04:22
|
|||
|
Hold stories close
Build a bridge and moat
With luck they’ll never know
Dark eyes, sore pride
A closed door on the top floor
I swear I’m better
Dishonestly discard intelligence for brawn
Dire memories made
Short-shifted and swiftly ripped away from morality
It’s a fallacy to justify
Gaps in judgment proceed,
to construct distrust in me
A falsehood believed by masses
A contract with commitments,
eroding by the second
Erase today

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 9 fans who also own “Repose”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
