Pomfwall Riots One night I stayed up way late playing a dumb old computer game. Some dude I'd never heard of streamed it. Later my buddy let me know this album existed. It's damn fantastic, I love it. Genuinely inspired and inspiring work. Favorite track: The October Coda.

Stuert Johnstone It's beautiful.
Just listen to it and you will fall in love, which will lead to the awkward situation of your parents walking in on you dry-humping your couch to the rhythm of each song... Favorite track: The October Coda.

Bypass 09:23
LYRICS - We’re on the bypass, we’re on the causeway We’re in a baron wasteland You’re so scared but don’t know why You said you need me close by You’re scared but you don’t understand your fear I’m there, you know i’m always here This moment is so important I’m hoping it’s rewarding And we can be friends for the night And we can be friends for the evening ______________________________________ This walk we’ve taken, by accident, with no regrets This walk that we’ve taken, by accident, with no regrets ______________________________________ We are the same, lonely as a sparrow in the rain We are the same, lonely as a vulture with no gain

Princess 07:37
LYRICS - When did your looking glass shrink? What did you expect me to think? Because your world is so black and white You’re not a revolutionary You’re not an open mind You’re just a precious, pretentious princess When did your looking glass shrink? What did you expect me to think? Because your world is so black and white What did you expect me to think? I said; what did you expect me to think? Because your world is so black and white Where do you get off pointing your finger? You claim to know something, it’s clear you know nothing We’re all the same, we’re all to blame.

Below Sex 06:09
LYRICS - All of my heroes are just ghosts now Trap the nerve and cause the harm Feel it move up your forearm I’m still tired but i’m still wired Run it through you I will bid farewell to my oldest enemy Push my arm away, save my skin today And in my flinched sleep, one moment's peace awaits Take it away from me You take it all away Take it away from me Won’t you take it all away _______________________________ Heartfelt regret, sang through a cigarette Neon wrists and burning eyes, maggots crawl but they’re disguised
4.
LYRICS - The sin of omission is clear, You live and you die by your fear And all you seem to know Is how to drown in your pessimism Well let him in and let him win I thought I fucking buried him? You’re looking very feminine A wedding ring is melted in But you took it too far again my friend Well now i’m moving on past the blurred lines that you’ve left Well i’m moving on, I hate every part of you that’s part of me The sin of omission is clear, You live and you die by your fear And all you seem to know Is how to drown in your pessimism Well let him in and let him win I thought that I had buried him? You’re looking very feminine A wedding ring is melted in Now i’m moving on, past the blurred lines I’m gone Well now i’m moving on past the blurred lines Well i’m gone Well I hate you ________________________________________ Maybe someday i’ll be there when you’re beside me, Maybe someday i’ll be there when you’re killing me Maybe someday, i’ll be there

LYRICS - Here our dreams are forged This place is a secret, somebody made this Even during it’s heyday no one would’ve known There’s a door here, I want to show you where I was born Drive that evil spirit through his side He died for your sins I see no nails Don’t go (these are my friends) Ripping your (he made us) Mouth open (we made us) Kind Child (you made us) I wish I could take you to Wedding Atlantis But the portal is closed Take us back to Heaven, Jack No, only groundzero Heartfelt regret (come here) Sang through a cigarette (spread the word) Neon wrists and burning eyes (I am ready) Maggots crawl but they’re disguised (for you now) And now I see my friend fall to ruin again He died for your sins I see no nails and Heaven is closed By salt lining and stone I will try to mend to these holes With patchwork I learned from you ______________________________________ We are the same, lonely as a sparrow in the rain We are the same, lonely as a vulture with no gain
