lyrics

All my dreams are dying as I'm watching her undress
In a systematic cold.
I'm too far away.

Surface my convictions: I am shackled by my blame.
I'm not used to this.
I'll never get used to this.

Open up my empathy and serve me to your God.
I'll pray to things I've never known.
Hear them cry themselves to sleep
And peacefully you'll rest.
I'm not used to this.
I'll never get used to this.

You don't know safe.
It's in their lies.
It's in the joy that will drown you when they sell it right.

Look at your reflection, you are just the snake you fear.
Your greed has a hold,
You're no longer dear to me.
Sucking at the edges of a selfish hope, you drain.
I'm not used to this.
I'll never get used to this.

I can't un-know
I can't un-know it now.

You don’t know safe.
It's in their lies.
It's in the joy that will drown you when they sell it right.

I've been meaning to pick this one up for a while because it's stuck in my mind, though I don't really know why. Other than the fact that it's an exceptional piece of music. Even then, there's something special about this punk-esque, reverb-soaked piece of work that radiates ingenuity and feels extremely personal. Like I'm listening to something that hasn't happened like it before, and something I'll miss out on forever if I don't keep remembering to listen to it again every couple of months. Cardian Matsu
