What You No Longer Hold

Listen to nothing
Only static buzzing
They get to hold the gun now
The shot only shoots
What you no longer hold
Don’t expect much
Reach beyond the seam
I’m made of glass,
Throw your stone
Breathe in to nothing
Barely seen surroundings
You get to hold the prize now
Your hands, only grasp
What you no longer want
Don’t expect much
Reach beyond the seam
I’m made of glass,
Throw your stone
I didn’t do this for nothing,
Didn’t hold out for nothing
We don’t mean anything, anything
at , at all
Could you sleep beside me,
So I feel whole
I, made a deal
I must be careful with myself
I must be careful with my, myself
I’m made of glass
Hold your stone

Cherish//Flourish

Cherish, write it in your mind
I would hold it close
If I had enough time
Would I keep inside me so I feel whole
I, made a deal
I must be careful with myself
With myself
Flourish, and fall into nothingness
I would catch you
Every, every single time
Would I keep inside me so I feel whole
I, made a deal
I must be careful with myself
With myself
The petals fall, the thorns dissolve
It all comes down, I am a shell
I hear them crack, like porcelain
It can’t disguise, the deep within
The deep within
Could you sleep beside me so I feel whole
I made a deal, I must be careful with myself
Gentle with myself
I’ll cherish you,
I have you
To feel safe,
To feel safe

Metamorphosis

You test my patience
Split my head into two
The devil comes right out of me
And I wish I wasn’t so sweet
Sweet
Used me as a doormat
Tried to break my legs
Your affliction caused my disease
And I wish I hadn’t been so naive
Naive
Metamorphosis is bullshit
I didn’t become someone new
Where you see crisis that notion is
Outdated and so are you
You can’t reach my magnitude
I tried to split my brain in two
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do and
I’ll call it quits
I’ve got persistence
Finally grew a backbone
The devil comes right out of me
And I wish I wasn’t so sweet
Sweet
You force agitation
Left me with uneasiness
Your deflection is your disease
And I wish I hadn’t been so naive
Naive
Metamorphosis is bullshit
I’ll cultivate my state either way
Your idleness affects no one
You confuse stability
For stagnation
You can’t reach my magnitude
I tried to split my brain in two
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do and
I’ll call it quits
You can’t reach my magnitude
I won’t become another for you
Metamorphosis is bullshit
Try to tell me what to do
but I’ve had enough

Leech

If I lie here, If I lie here
Would you lay with me
Would you lay with me
Would you cry with me
Is it shameful
To be faithful,
Forever with you,
Forever with you
Am I a leech
Am I a leech
Or just a parasite
Or just a pair of eyes
Things could be simple
Things could be simple
Am I a leech
Am I a leech
Or just a parasite
Or just a pair of eyes
Try as I might
Try as I might
Am I a leech
Am I a leech
Or just a parasite
Staring back at you
Try as I might

I’m so through killing time with you
Is your time killing me you know that
I’m not your fool you can’t keep playing me
Only so long that I can keep this up
They say, don’t bite the hand that feeds
So hostile when words cut deep,
I won’t shake your hand
If I needed to to breathe
So tell me
Come on and rip the bandaid off
Tell me to go home or fuck off
Tell me to fetch another bone
And I’ll act like all the rest
Dangle a carrot over me
And I’ll act like all the rest
Dragging myself down to the bone,
This brain is killing me
Can’t keep grinding this stone,
You can’t keep dragging me
Such a surprise I haven’t torched this tie
Hey babe, you’re just the pawn I need
So hostile when you can’t see
I won’t be your friend
I just use you for the proceeds
So pay me
Come on and rip the bandaid off
Tell me to go home or fuck off
Tell me to fetch another bone
And I’ll act like all the rest
Dangle a carrot over me
And I’ll act like all the rest
Come on and rip the bandaid off
Tell me to go home or fuck off
Tell me to fetch another bone
And I’ll act like all the rest
Come on and rip the bandaid off
Tell me to go home or fuck off
Tell me to fetch another bone
And I’ll act like them for the money

Dig

I dug into the ground
I didn’t hear you come around
You wanna see me dig anyway
You wanna know that I’m trying
You wanna know that I’m trying
I tried it your way
It left me blue it left me starving
For something new
Wanting for something
Better than what
You’ve got what
You’ve got
I dug into the ground
I didn’t hear you come around
You wanna see me dig anyway
You wanna know that I’m trying
You wanna know that I’m trying
That’s why I seek to strive
It keeps me true it keeps me starving
For something new
Wanting for something
Better than what I’ve done
Before
I dug into the ground
I didn’t hear you come around
You wanna see me dig anyway
You wanna know that I’m trying
You wanna know that I’m trying
I dug into the ground
(I wish I wasn’t so sweet)
I didn’t hear you come around
(I wish I wasn’t so naive)
You wanna see me dig anyway
(Starving for something new)
You wanna know that I’m trying
(you wanna see me dig anyway)
You wanna know that I’m trying
You wanna see me dig anyway
You wanna know that I’m trying

Don’t slouch sit up straight

Excuse for a pain in my side

Out of Greed
04:15
|
|
||
|
I’ve been alone with my own thoughts
Thinking what have you done
And what have you done
I’m heartbroken
Oh you took our world
And you crushed it beneath your feet
Why’d you do that?
Why’d you do anything?
I’m crying, out loud
But I’m here, now
I’ve been trying, far too much
Thinking what have you done
And where have you
Gone
I’m mistaken
Oh I trusted you
And you ate it all out of greed
Why’d you do that?
Why’d you do anything?
I’m crying, out loud
But I’m here, now
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you want
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you want
It’s hard, right now
But I’m here, now
And I’m screaming, out loud
But I’m here, now
Now, now

The Rules
04:43
|
|

I’m caught in everyone else’s game
But you know how it goes,
You made the rules, you set the field, you made your move
When is my turn
When is my turn
Unspoken rules, untidy tongues
Talking makes me feel old
When I’m so young
Unbroken fools with silver swords,
Monotony rules in the un-ending
War
I’m caught in everyone else’s game
But you know how it goes,
You made the rules, you set the field, you made your move
When will I learn,
When will I learn
Unspoken rules, untidy tongues
Talking makes me feel old
When I’m so young
Unpleasantries follows unknown paths
Talking makes me so low
When it’s all a
Trap
Unspoken rules, untidy tongues
Talking makes me feel old
When I’m so young
And truth be told, I’m over the edge
How do I know I’ve made it
when I can’t see the
end

The Virtue of Do or Die
04:37
|
|
||
|
I wish, I wasn’t so sweet
You’re only, death or glory
I took several hours trying to get this off me
I took several hours trying to get this out
I wish, I wasn’t so naive
Express your distaste and
I’ll break your teeth
One more step, and I’ll break in two
One more step, and I’ll break in two
Pieces, on the floor, melting
Into the carpet
Into the carpet
I hope, I can be charming
You feed into the virtue of do or die
I took several hours trying to get this off me
I took several hours trying to get this out
I hope, I can be terrifying
Express your distrust
But I won’t comply
One more step, and I’ll break in two
One more step, and I’ll break in two
Pieces, on the floor, melting
Into the carpet
Into the carpet
I took several hours trying to get this off me
I took several hours trying to get this out
Out, out
Out

Flower Of Life [LP]
by Taleen Kali
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Deep Within”
in what feels like a fine-tuned explosion with both energy and sense, flower of life is a gorgeous album that's able to both reel it in (summer of sound, vague flesh) for a simple sway and also make you want to crack open the nearest red bull and go find the closest venue so you can dance until you drop. if you want something dreamy with an edge, you'll want flower of life playing. x.

Flower Of Life [LP]

"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles.

A gorgeous record of blissed out shoegaze streaked with stardust and a glam rock edge from this San Diego-based artist.

Another Side of The Seams
by The Seams
The Seams' jangly pop is full of lovely melodic twists and elegant turns-of-phrases delineating the quotidian details of love and romance.

Delightful, freewheeling noise pop where clouds of guitar encircle heavenly, far-off vocals.
