lyrics

You’re in my spine, you’re in my veins
When demons dance you hide your face
I miss my ego, did I ever have one
I want to see you, I worry, alone

Little squares of paper, eating up my mind
Can’t see or think straight, but im with my kind
Playing gothic folkpunk in the cold cold wind
My Voices whisper, try not to give in.

Holding back my tears, my mask is slipping off
Showing lack of ego, taping up my loss
Bring me back to hopeful, take me from this dread
Acid dreams and cocktail scenes, i’m glad that I’m not dead

The colors and the shapes are things I haven’t seen before
Lost in livin everyone, rolling on the floor
I’m not thinkin ugly thoughts, smoking through the screen
The air feels like a dull blade, but it comforts me

Holding back my tears, my mask is slipping off
Showing lack of ego, taping up my loss
Bring me back to hopeful, take me from this dread
Acid dreams and cocktail scenes, i’m glad that I’m not dead

There is a hole deep in my chest
No matter how hard I try, I try my best
And in the summer, I get upset
Far as i'm concerned, you can just let me rest

A queer folk punk album that brings the anxieties and the insecurities of the trans experience to the forefront. The instrumentals and vocals really sell the concept of this album. Wonderfully vulnerable or full on rage in others. The blood, sweat and tears put into this album is very clear. Some of her best work yet! arvemis

This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
