lyrics

Slept on floors of hotel rooms
Night swam in water thicker than the womb’s
Turned out a museum of grief

But I still find that space in my mind sometimes
I wish I could let you in
That space in my mind sometimes
It might be what they think heaven is

Drove to Ann Arbor that morning
Watched them stick their needle into me
Passed out when the blood left my arm

I thought you had to love the pain sometimes
Just wanted to buy you things
And what it does sometimes
It might be what they think heaven is

Blood in the milk and pesticides on the honey
Woke up afraid to die when we used to think it was funny

The neighbors nativity scene
Killed the grass living underneath
They thought I was wild and free
But I was angry and lonely

Blood in the milk and pesticides on the honey
Woke up afraid to die when we used to think it was funny
3/4ths of the world is all dark, deep, and cold
So they dipped our heads in it
Right after we were born

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 87 fans who also own “BLOOD IN THE MILK”

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. Lu

After the Magic

the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection. skeletalsexing
