I'll Come Back To You

You came to me in the waking hours
And you've been telling me for a while
That what you say goes
So I fold
I'm inching away from the cautions and loss
The only help for me I'll turn away
'Cause the truth comes around
Hardly
I circle the drain
'Cause it's in the way
And I'm living in this hollow entity
I'm holding my arms in the way
And hoping it all makes sense in the end
'Cause I'm
Wasting my time 'cause I've always been let down
Deserving the harm
I think I should've learned by now
The bitter and cold is the taste that I'm used to
I'm plummeting down
Again and again like I want to
Alone, alone, alone in the dreadroom
In the wake it started to make sense
And all the awful things were evident
But when you come around
I'll offer half of me to you
So if you
You want me to
I'll keep an act
They won't see through
Tell me the heights that I'll leap to
So when I crash, I'll come back to you
I circle the drain
'Cause it's in the way
And I'm living in this hollow entity
I'm holding my arms in the way
And hoping it all makes sense in the end
'Cause I'm
Wasting my time 'cause I've always been let down
Deserving the harm
I think I should've learned by now
The bitter and cold is the taste that I'm used to
I'm plummeting down
Again and again like I want to
Alone, alone, alone in the dreadroom

Animals/Monsters/Thieves

I feel this is the truth
And this is my answer to every move
I’ve made
I’ve sown every stitch to an attitude
I’ve been here so long it feels like lying if I’m honest with you
Bad intentions haunting dreams
It’s pouring the tears and the guts right out of me
Hand over hand we ride
Toward the funeral pyre tonight
I could die in your arms and go cold
In the blink of an eye
When did we ever decide
This is what we would always be?
Animals, or monsters, or thieves?
Or something in between?
Did we lose our way?
Now constantly stumbling all the way
Did you leave our hearts in the arms of our yesterdays?
‘ Cause I’ve been here so long it feels like lying if I’m honest with you
Bad intentions haunting dreams
It’s pouring the tears and the guts right out of me
Hand over hand we ride
Toward the funeral pyre tonight
I could die in your arms and go cold
In the blink of an eye
When did we ever decide
This is what we would always be?
Animals, or monsters, or thieves?
Or something in between?
Deceit laid low
You gotta find a way out of here
The feeling’s gone
I thought I’d let you know
Deceit laid low
You gotta find a way out of here
Half lost, drifting off to misery
Hand over hand we ride
Toward the funeral pyre tonight
I could die in your arms and go cold
In the blink of an eye
When did we ever decide
This is what we would always be?
Animals, or monsters, or thieves?
Or something in between?
Animals, or monsters, or thieves?
Or something in between?

Under The Ice Again

Too much gone?
You’ve lost more.
You’re taking all the wrong things and making a home
So move along and rot in the sun
Your blue forebrain will always let you know
That you can look wherever but you’re always stuck being alone
And who can make it better if you’re only told you waited too long?
It’s pulling you under the ice again
Glued to the wreck, you’ve been waiting since
Albeit less than the weight in your head
And hoping your life will live again
While stretching it way too thin
It’s pulling you under the ice again
You hang onto your best excuse
And hide your shame in your combat boots
You built your life then you bombed that too
Derailed despite you never wanting too
Missed on every shot and now you’re left without a place to run
And you know second chances never work out
Better than anyone
It’s pulling you under the ice again
Glued to the wreck, you’ve been waiting since
Albeit less than the wait in your head
And hoping your life will live again
While stretching it way too thin
It’s pulling you under the ice again
You can look wherever but you’re always stuck being alone
And who can make it better if you’re only told you waited too long?
It’s pulling you under the ice again
Glued to the wreck, you’ve been waiting since
Albeit less than the wait in your head
And hoping your life will live again
While stretching it way too thin
It’s pulling you under the ice again
It’s pulling you under the ice again

Please Don't Change

Please don't change
'cause I can't seem to handle this anymore
Please don't change
Soon after the burst that flashed in my eyes
Coupled at the same time I fell inside
Hell and bliss merged
Then everything came to light
How the task of forever
Is all in my mind
We're an ending from the get-go
A grip that needs to let go
A sound that never echoes
A sound that never echoes
So why try to hold on to these things that never mattered?
When I'm so convinced the passing of time will only prove an
Ending from the get-go
A grip that needs to let go
A sound that never echoes
A sound that never echoes

It sounds like Black Sabbath and Monster Magnet. 🧲 Lucifer has become a reliable source for good music. This is not the first album I've had the pleasure to listen to.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

This DC shoegaze group work like fog, bringing in ephemeral melodic layers that swirl together to become something surprisingly heavy.

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis.

Meandering guitars, laid-back vocals, and catchy choruses make this the perfect end of summer album.

Welcome to Fear City, amidst the vampires, ghouls, and serial killers, you have to solve your own murder. When I listen to this, I imagine Blade Runner as a horror film.
