i never thought i'd be so desperate
for awkward human interactions
and sketchy bathroom floors
i miss the great indoors
i never thought i'd live to be a
victim of this thing that's beating
i'm just not smart inside
maybe it's all a lie
i've been putting this off for too long
i tore down all my decorations
stuffed 'em in the basement
cause i couldn't take it
rats in the attic
and i have to face it

came up to offer me a ride
but i've been walking this whole time
said i'm no proper lady
said i'm gonna burn up when i die
well i'll try
it's just a little too bright when i stand outside
if anyone sees i hope they don't recognize me
i don't wanna be perceived
as anything
i'm all turned around lately, i
i hope i'm not wasting all your time
some part of me's not with me
is it paranoia or real life?
came up to offer me a ride
but i've been walking this whole time

holy trinity of unchecked balance
hurts until it doesn't
breathe and sleep afraid
i'll lie with you
but i'm an actor in a hospital gown
why do i feel so disconnected
trying to keep all the medicine down
gagged and reflexive
how are you okay with this
can you make me like it
and even if i don't
i'll lie for you
but it gets harder when you're all on your own
why do i feel so disconnected
i can't be with you and i can't be alone
mad and defensive
holy trinity
how can i be?

i don't take much time at all
i don't sweat the small stuff
this could be an obligation
it doesn't have to be deep
can i inhabit your field of vision?
i wanna burn all my photographs
i keep letting this shame hold me back

i'm sorry i didn't make it to your show tonight
i missed the train and got a cab just to stand outside
the doors were locked so i headed to the jewel nearby
had a crisis in the middle of aisle five
bought some coffee and wished that i was dead
how did my life become so directionless
you swim in the deep end with me
and i try not to say "i'm sorry"
and though it won't end up working out
i tread in the water for a minute
hoping that i won't drown
i saw you for a second in my dream last night
i missed you and i woke up feeling terrified
the door is cracked you'll find me on the other side
it'll hurt until it doesn't and it's gonna for a while
you swim in the deep end with me
and i try not to say "i'm sorry"
and though we won't end up working out
i tread in the water for a minute
hoping that i won't drown

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 7 fans who also own “Surrealist”
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.
