lyrics

how many times have i strummed these stupid chords?
how many times have i lived and died this cycle?
in this bedroom on this floor
what would your mother say?
pulsing carrion, ouroboric decay
what would your mother do?
i guess i'm guilty of it too

i am guilty of ill will that i impart
four swollen fingers wrapped around your heart

what kind of devil would have cast you down?
what kind of evil put you in the ground?
there's a feeling but there is no sense of touch
there's a way out but it isn't enough
cause i'm something to revile in my own right
heads down cause something lit the night sky

while i'm out here i'm hedging my bets
saw the heights but i'm falling instead
from an inverted me to you
something's missing, i can feel it too
if there's really no time you will never really die
if there's really no time i can walk off satisfied

cause i'm something to revile in my own right
heads down cause something lit the night sky
this blood is letting too fast
i fear the consequence has long since come to pass
i fear reality down where i've been cast
i saw your cascade so i'm closing up the sky
this violent aching runs its way up to my thighs

there is a mirror and there is something staring back
there is a mirror with the humility i lack
this maw is empty and black
i culled them in speaking, i have paid my debts back
pulled off their antlers but it's my head on the plaque
i cast them down, breathing soberly
what kind of devil does that make me?

there is a mirror and there is something staring back
there is a mirror with the humility i lack

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 16 fans who also own “the world was painted with houses (carrion II)”

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. Lu
