lyrics

Occupy myself, with the thought I’m doing well.
Smile at every child who’s young enough to tell.
Instigate the others, while I cover up my flaws.
My apathy will tear us apart.

It’s senseless

Too bored to be with people, too alone to never try.
Disappointment is the reason that I cover up and hide.
Take another stab, at getting through to me.
I'll cut you out and keep you away; closely.

Take a stone.
Hit me 'till I break my bones.
Cover me in blood.
Make me feel at home.
Burn my soul.
Spread its ashes on the floor.
Take me for a fool.
Push me through the door.

Some are born in glitter, some are born in gold.
Some are born magnificent, but I was born too old.
It's a mess, when it slowly gets undressed.
I'm impressed, but give me some rest.

Being real is a big deal, and now I finally see the appeal.

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
