since you've been gone i've been smiling alone
all the junkies on my block look so healthy
what? not again now i'm losing a friend
when the competition stops
and i'm not afraid cause i know what you'll say
and i can't pretend to care how it paints me
since you've been gone i've been wandering home
like the junkies on my block
you make a straight admission
one that brings me down
i let the repetition
drag this feeling out
i'm gonna bleed that shit so dry you'll begin to sweat
(don't wanna sleep yet i don't wanna sleep yet)
to break the silence in the sheets, yes i know you're there
(don't wanna sleep yet i don't wanna sleep yet)
i'm lashing out beyond my reach
need an hour of darkness
institution meal
in a sweat apartment
only this feels real
i'm gonna blow that shit so high like a billion bombs
(don't wanna sleep yet i don't wanna sleep yet)
so you can stalk my sleep tonight yes i knew you'd call
(don't wanna sleep yet i don't wanna sleep yet)
yeah you can have my dreams tonight
you can have my dreams tonight
you can have my sleep tonight
he don't have what you want
but i'm still a bit pissed off
and it's got me pretty low today
let's take a look at me
so far from interesting
i'm a broke with nothing to give you
frustrating in the least
bent backward on my knees
and you need a little comfort now
and i believe it's all my fault
what more could i do wrong?
maybe i just should have died for you
i don't trust anyone
OD on daydreams i'm stuck between the sheets
with xanax in your teeth it's a permanent halloween
and i'm sure it isn't good but i'm a real cruel bastard
and i'll tell you how you should cause i'm a real cruel bastard
commit a few crimes in your name instead of mine
and speak sweetly outside, you're friendly but never kind
and i'm sure it isn't right but i'm a real cruel bastard
and i'll tell you what you like cause i'm a real cruel bastard
and i know it's not right but i'm a real cruel bastard
i'm sure it's not right but i'm a real cruel bastard
plastic jesus christ in the bedroom
who's the sorry one you caught?
for 3 hots and a cot when you come to
bite the middle finger off anyone
anyone
any son
anyone
i'm destroyer looking right at you
lose my temper anytime
for 3 hits and a twitch when i want to
who's sad sorry can i make mine? anyone
anyone
any son
anyone
the thing that brings me down
i can't believe it's coming true
i think i've said all i can do
i think i've done all i want to
retreat
to the cafeteria room
the losers in the back make plans
the best of us just play pretend
the least of us don't give a damn
that's me
when play pretend don't bring me joy
and give a damn don't bring me joy
i'm fucked
we shared a smoke in the parking lot
but i wasn't good for any of it
made up my mind but after an hour
i wasn't sure bout any of it
you saw me go wander on home
and then talked some shit behind my back
the feeling was bad
i froze like a baby while you had her way
the junkies look good
all dressed up in white but their teeth are stained
i made it my fault
i felt like a kid laying half awake

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
This split EP from two France-based musicians is a gem, both artists recalling the glory days of slowcore in their heart-tugging melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2023
Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi
