You must be terrified that your actions come to haunt you.
Don't try to run and hide, you've got to follow through.
Was it a fever dream when you cried in the dead of night, screaming his name?
Or was it so obscene, when you saw your own reflection?
You sounded so convincing as you stood there in the doorway,
your lifeline in your pocket and your future in your head.
It never once occurred to you that there's more to life than what's at hand
And the day that you found out was the day you lost your head.
So you sat up in the basement whispering secrets to yourself,
like you'd soon wake up, as is you were only sleeping.
Well the basement's come and gone my friend, but the ground beneath you still remain,
and just as you had hoped, you weren't quite mistaken.
Let me tell you what to believe
Let me bless you, get on your knees
Let me tell you all about the moments you left behind
lest you enjoy them despite your evidential, circumstantial,
parliamentary, your state of mind.
I don't know why I'm finding so hard to speak,
or why it was so easy when you left me weak,
but I know that I will sing through my eyes.
What drove you away?
What drove you away?
What drove you away, away, away.
So you're searching for a better way to have your life collapse.
The comfort of a better man who's thoughts aren't always fleeting.
The sun and moon will rise again despite your circumstance,
but you'll always have a home.
Let me tell you what to believe
Let me bless, you get on your knees.
Let me tell you what to believe, believe, believe, believe.
This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
