I left then I reappeared
Neon-lights up ahead
Cut deep through the evening
I feel the boredom so sweetly seeping in
Down in the streets a car alarm blares
Windows are fogged black
Smell of dead in the air
Stopped the rot in its tracks as I shut the door
I sat down in a dim-lit corner
Figured all of this is hell
But at least I stir the flames myself
When I felt something simmer inside me
I shook the shadow off my back
Took a match and flicked it through it the air
Now watch it rise
Watch it rise
I’m more of who I am
And less of who I wanted to be
This is me
I’m more of who I am
And less of who I wanted to be
So I dance with the flashes all through the night
Strike poses for the life-drained masses
Expose my own path through the wreckage
Your eyes have always missed me by an inch
Yet you claimed to know me better than whoever
Well I bet you have never really seen me like this
I’m more of who I am
And less of who I wanted to be
This is me
This is who I am
This is what I’ll be in the end
This is me
This is me
This is who I’ll be in the end
Nothing worse can happen
Let the flames lick your wounds
Even if you deem yourself ruined
And the saviour skips their part
Just let it shake
This is who I am
This is what I’ll be in the end
This is me
This is what I am
This is who I’ll be in the end
I’ve tried
So many times
Every single day
Every night
To be who I am
To be more of me
And it’s fine
It’s so fine
I’ll take pride
In what’s mine
Why don’t you try me again now
A sudden flicker of a light
Signs to a change of times
Well I’m on fire now
So here it goes
I gladly take this blow
Breathe out the past
Tear all the skin of my flesh
And turn it all to ash

The first dreamy, heavy, hazy releases from these Baltimore shoegazers collected on beautiful sky blue-shelled chrome cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 1, 2016
Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much.
Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
