Let’s end this pornographic display of bigotry and be reasonable just for once and admit:
This hostility was never gone,
We just hid it inside the dark shadows of tall statues to “great” white men
Just tall enough to make us sleep soundly at night
But some are more equal than others when there are Trojan horses at the gates
Our world’s grown smaller
They’re talking about pride again
Our world’s grown smaller
They're waving flags again
Our world’s grown smaller
Creatures of habit, that’s all we are
Prove me wrong, do anything, prove me wrong
Do anything, just prove me wrong.

By the look in your eyes I can tell that I’m not the only ghost here
It seems both our engines run on: Big plans, no sleep,
With tired eyes on sinking ships
While we’re holding tiny shovels in a landslide
We only contribute to this chaos that is everyday
With all the frustration that this brings
But trust me, we will make it work, day in and day out
Put your finger on the dam, day in and day out
The water’s rising, keep your chin up, day in and day out
And learning how to swim might take some time
But we'll grow to love what we've become, in time
With faces like the summer we'll be damned but laughing
We will laugh ourselves to death
And until then we will live without this fear on our backs
A life without fear

I’ll find me a black cloud to hang above my head
I’ll find a way to piss on my parade
Because when it rains it fucking pours
I think I overthink things, I know I overthink things,
My weary head can’t contain all these thoughts spinning around in circles
Although anxiety brings out the worst in me
Although anxiety runs in the family
Although anxiety will always stay with me life’s too short
For more sad songs, bad films, boring books and the job you hate
So I’ll try my best and hope that it’s enough
Life’s too short to wait for revelations
So I’d say from where we stand the water looks deep enough to dive

There is something tragic in the way you crave attention
There is something strange in the way you move your hand to your face
Searching its contours for some kind of proof that you’re still there
Let’s hope the medium is not the message
You need some kind of proof that you’re still there
Let’s hope the medium is not the message
All these poses, they’re just reminders that you’re a tourist in your own life
There is something strange in your excessive self-display
There is something tragic in the way you insist upon the weight of the world resting on your shoulders
There is something missing, absolutely no sense of self, a hole you’re trying to fill
All these poses, they’re just reminders that you’re a tourist in your own life
You’re worth so much more, I believe in you

Improving the formula of standing still,
There are no answers here, we’re just keeping the wolves at bay
What big teeth they have, would be a shame to waste them on your tired bones
„Things will only get better“ and Tears For Fears are singing “Mad World” in the distance
Your happy-ever-after, it never felt like home
Repeat, repeat
Your happy-ever-after, it never felt like home
Repeat, repeat, like there’s no tomorrow
Stoic sleepwalkers treading water
The thin line between ideal and nightmare
I want my reasons back
Your happy-ever-after, it never felt like home
There’re skeletons in your closet
Your happy-ever-after, it never felt like home
There’re skeletons in your closet no matter how nicely you dress them up

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 4 fans who also own “second thoughts”
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.

This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody.
