Tears

break up the pill
united in illness
we can be still
cause everything's gonna be different now
I will carry your tears around
and drink until I'm pure
anything to calm me down
when the curses are the cures
touching our blood
I forgot who I was then
death made us numb
but everything's gonna be different now

Suffer
04:28
|
|

|
waking up alone in a coughing fit
pulling on the flesh that you let slip
away into the past ten years
away into a life that you still fear
you just suffer
you just suffer here
wanna know why I try to hide?
because everything that's good makes me
scared to be alive
its ok to become what you hate
you just suffer if you think it matters anyway
hair gets grey while a tv drones
the basement is the teenage needle home
to all the things you never did
to all your work
but whats to show for it?

Feel U

you could not have known what to do
but to go to that quiet place
where you know no one can hear you
and watch smoke float in the air
and learn to love what disappears
you made my bed
and you took the gift I left
I feel you right here
but I'll never see you again

Lover

|

|
honey and I are in love
he taught me to play through the pain
we met when we were growing up
and making mistakes
he smiles so nice
he gets drunk at night
honey comes home his fist is closed
he does whatever he likes
the more you chase me the more I'm gonna run
and when you hit me I'll just do what you've done
you feel power playing this game
but you're just people
we're always the same
no one can save him
he’s so sweet when he lies
he says
“deaths the cure for emptiness,
and nothing is the light”

Specula
04:13
|
|
||
|
pain always rushes back
like a child to mothers arms
like the urge to go to sleep
like a spoiled begging dog
I walk the same way at the same time everyday
and I light a cigarette to keep me safe
I think of you with hoop earrings and beautiful braids
and I run towards something I can flee from
I walk the same way at the same time everyday
and I watch die what gave me life
the specula that holds my eyes
and its slowly closing all the time
misery drones on inside
endless like a babys cry

Held My Hand
04:00
|
|
||
|
it's such a still night tonight
I can kinda see your picture
where the blinds let in the streetlight
no one makes a sound
but an echo in my head is ringing
constant and loud
in that house, in that house
you held my hand when I allowed
I held you down
I was so proud
but I'm not now
it's such a still night tonight
I have gently pushed away
everyone that gave me life

Angel

take him out back
put him down slow
momma does the rosary
little brother digs the hole
papa is a preacher
he won't hold a gun
so the family called me over
I guess I was the closest one
zip ties on his wrists and ankles
whiskey on his breath
finally he'll bleed the anger
and sadness that he's kept
he was already dyin
from things you cant outrun
so the family called me over
to kill their wasted son

Lemonhead

do you remember?
we were driving in the car again
biting on the Lemonheads
I was listening to what you said
I said “so much for my mother”
you said “I could be your daughter”
I said
“do you have something that I can swallow?”
“take my soul
but just to borrow”
its a ritual that bleeds us both
just like that again we’re cold
and you wrote a song again
I made it about me again
you were talking about staring
you were talking about static
I said “I don’t know why I bother”
you said “you don’t even bother”
I said
am I “you”?
I must get off on spilling blood
and am I “you”?
just let the laughter break it up
its a ritual that bleeds us both
just like that again we're cold

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 59 fans who also own “Pearlty”
The first track in particular caught my attention. Most of all lyrically, but the overall tone and texture is nostalgic and hopeful, with a bit of melancholy.

I fall in love with a different detail every time I listen to this. Some of my favorite lyrics of all time. Powerful and important.
go to album
Euphoric noise pop from Seattle-based Spiral XP puts melodies first, feedback second.
go to album
Melodic post-grunge that eschews all of the negative connotations of that phrase and embraces all the positives: huge hooks, huge-r riffs.
go to album
The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies.
