I’m the guy of the hour
With unlimited power
You’re the prettiest flower
And too sweet to be sour
And I never learned
How to dress for the weather
It’s fucking hot
It’s too fucking hot
Running ‘round these dirty streets
Killing time in the smog and heat
Where’d you go? I wanna know
This bus ride home’s so bittersweet
But mostly bitter
Man, why’d I wear a fucking sweater?
God damn, I gotta get it together
Pull this thread
Watch me go
I walk away
I walk away

I saw you on the streetcar
I guess you didn't get far
I saw you lookin' my way
Now I got something to say
I like your new tattoos
They look good on you
I know I gave you the blues
But did you find somebody new?
Why'd I have to run into you?
Why'd I have to run into you?
Hope you found somebody new
Why'd I have to run into you?
Why'd I have to run into you?
You got off before your stop
To dodge the transit cops
'Cause you never carried change
So I guess you're still the same
I guess you're still the same
I guess you'll never change
You'll never change
You'll never change

You can pull me open
Like an orange peel
Life’s a simulation
So this can’t be real
Know I say this all the time
But is this yours or is it mine?
No, you can’t be real
For once I wanna feel
On the roof of my home
And the view is clear from here
It’s not the same
My things are here
I still hear your voices in my ear
And I’ll take the photos we took in Pelmo Park
Put ‘em up, take ‘em down, and keep ‘em in the dark
Move away, gotta say I’m missin’ every part
2 trains, 1 bus, I’ll be there at 6 sharp
And I’ll take the photos we took in Pelmo Park
Put ‘em up, take ‘em down, and keep ‘em in the dark
Move away, oh, I swear I’m missin’ every part
Always near, never fear, hold you close to my heart
Hold you close to my heart

I’m just a bug
You’re always steppin’ on me
Turn out the lights
I’ll grab my things and scurry
Ya done me dirty
Ya didn’t mean to hurt me
Ya just didn’t look where you were steppin’
It’s tough being small
Ya hope somebody might care
I’m just a bug
And life is a nightmare
I’m just a bug
I’ve never felt too pretty
Ain’t had much love
But I’ve had my share of pities
Leave out your crumbs
‘Cause I want some
When you’re done your breakfast
I’m just a bug
I’m just a bug
I’m just a bug
I’m just a bug

I don’t know how I got here
And I don’t know anyone
I don’t know how to start a conversation
So I stand in the corner and I try to ignore her
But I can’t
Am I too old to change now?
I would have planned ahead if I thought I’d make it this far
I don’t know how to start a conversation
And I don’t know how to keep it up
You say “hello” just to trip me up
So I’ll stand in the corner and I’ll try to ignore her
But I can’t
Am I too old to change now?
I would have planned ahead if I thought I’d make it this far
I thought this was supposed to come naturally
None of this shit ever felt natural to me

Past fields of goldenrod
In early September
Lamb’s ear
Late summer, soft
We walk east
We walk east
We walk east
In wet grass, with cold feet
We walk east
Where the evil, empty condos
Tower over me
Now for sale
For only a few million
And you say, “What a steal!”
"What a steal!"
"What a steal!"
"What a steal!"
We will never have a home
Above the basement
Couldn’t move out
Even if we tried
Aren’t you so tired?
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
In wet grass, with cold feet
Where the evil, empty condos
Tower over me
Now for sale
For only a few million
And you say, “What a steal!”
"What a steal!"
"What a steal!"
"What a steal!"
But aren’t they all?

I thought we were friends
Until the end
But I guess that’s just
How it ends
I’m doin’ fine
I’ve made up my mind
I’ll see you again
Maybe some other time
Baby, some other time
We’re runnin’ out of time
We’re runnin’ out of time

The sun comes through the window
I have nowhere else to go
I don't feel safe in this space
I hated you
So why am I sad?
Saw you on the news
You were all dressed in black
We'll miss you
And I won't look back
You're hurt, you're scarred
This feels wrong
Eyes wide, cold inside
Wish I could run
You're burnt, you're charred
You're long gone
And you're not coming back
I hated you
So why am I sad?
Saw you on the news
You were all dressed in black
My head hurts, I've felt worse
Maybe I'm wrong
You stare, do you care?
Look what you've done
You're burnt, you're charred
You're long gone
My judgment lapsed
At first I laughed
Can't take it back
But they'll rebuild you fast
Part of my past
Not built to last
But memories fade
And buildings collapse

I don’t know how I feel today
Got nothin’ better to say
Don’t always know what to say
When you’re looking at me that way
Are you gonna see me this time?
You’re looking for something you can’t define
Why can’t you read my mind?
I’m fine
Don’t always say what I mean
And I’m always hiding
And you’d think I’d just let it be
But if I did that I’d be lyin’
Are you gonna see me this time?
You’re looking for something you can’t define
Why can’t you read my mind?
I’m fine
Don’t know how I feel today
Got nothin’ better to say
Don’t always know what to say
Walk out that door, don’t come back
I don’t wanna see you again
Walk out that door, don’t come back
I don’t wanna see you
Take your baggage and shit off my back
I’m no longer your punching bag
Walk out that door, don’t come back
Walk out that door, don’t come back

Haven’t showered in a week
I sit around, smoking weed
I don’t know what the fuck to do
But the feeling’s not new
My bones turn to stone when I’m alone
I refuse to leave my home
Don’t look me in the eyes
You’ll see through my disguise
I don’t know what the fuck to do
Nothing feels like it used to
Don’t look me in the eyes
I’ll have nowhere to hide

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 5 fans who also own “No One Makes Me Laugh as Hard as You”
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.

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces.

Artificial Bouquet

New on Deathwish, explosive screamo from this Illinois band, full of scalding riffs and searing vocals.
