Pull the shade and trap the light in
Illuminate the room so I can see your face
I need to hear it in person
I need to know it was worth it
Took the risk and came on over
Keeping count of everything I didn’t say
Heard your breathing get lower
The room was getting smaller as you
Threw your arms around me way too fast
What did it really mean?
And questioned if I thought it all would last
Will it all last?
Blocking out our future with my past
What does it really mean?
If ignorance is bliss, then why’d you ask
If it still haunts me
It still haunts me
Hung the pictures that you painted
Hallucinations of love that was never there
I felt you start getting nervous
You put a gloss on the surface of my
Favorite thing you ever drew
Said it needed more
Shaded in the grays
And then you hung it on your door
If nothing’s ever finished it ends up on the floor
Just like we did
Think about it when I’m falling asleep
All the parts of you that I couldn’t keep
My nightmares torment me much worse
The longer you’re not here
I keep my energy the lowest I can
And try and think about where all this began
For heaven’s sake could I forget
That you found someone new
I hope to god you’re haunted by this too
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
