been trying to make the best of both worlds, guess you wouldn't understand
didn't want to reveal myself that was never part of the plan
one line, one word and I unfurl into your waiting hands
and I ask you politely would you hold me lightly, my friend
took a while to orient myself to the right way around
I didn't tell anyone else that I'd been back in town
takes some time to reckon with transitions, 'least I've found
just a gentle reminder would you please be kinder to me
glad I could give you some catharsis through the coming fog
it wasn't made any clearer for me, just trudging through the mud
an internal dialogue that you just want to shut off
let's keep it friendly, no angry defending this time
~
its painful to refute yourself then confront the dissonance
all that shame turned inward you feel like a sinner or villianous
'til its woven through the fabric of you and you can't seem to unpick it
there's no denying that I've been crying too long
do you know what tears become in zero G?
tiny little planets are surrounding me
grief can make for some close company
when you're too reflective, you can't find perspective up here

6 full moons, their weight hangs over you
you cannot seem to pacify or reckon with the truth
draw your sword and muster for the cause
no time for introspection when you're pushing ever forward
I follow through; naked, blind, your fool
I tread in the path you've set 'til my shoes have bled right through
fool me more than 3 times
release me from the wake of your lies
you claim and unspeakable gravity
and its outside your power so you can't seem to break free
watching on a sure collision course
the rest of us are floating in your fierce orbital force
blame it on the space outside of you
good luck on your endeavours in your universe of two
~
I can't breathe in this atmosphere
you took all the air from me as you claimed to hold me dear
there's one thing that you have left behind
your shiny blade buried deep within my spine

Anjo recommends:
Of Cloven Hoof in Honey
by Nika Mo
impeccable arrangements, high-drama concepts, creative/eerie/beautiful ART Listening to 'Dance of the Cloven Hoof' whilst driving on the Lower-Denmark Road under a new moon is a trip.

Waterworks (EP1)
by Blue Waters
Pared back but full; the tasteful Tweedy-esque solo that closes 'On the Water' is scrumptious.

big dumb sooky punk - I'm allowed to say it because I'm in this band
