Dead birds in the back yard
dying in the flowers
Nothing's made sense in 100 hours
Dirt in the wind blew dust in my mouth
that I can't get out
Exhaust from a black car
Dark gas halo
Dancing in the lantern like a slow tornado
Beamed specs from the ground up to the sky
and out of sight
Don't tell me another secret
I can't stand the burden
of keeping something hidden
When I had the whole world's attention
I could never keep it
even for a moment
Bottles of piss in the dark, dark city
When the Doomsday clock finally hits infinity
Blood on the alps reflecting so bright
it burns my eyes
A silent burst of light turned the air to poison
Twitching tiny bodies with their eyes wide open
Dead on the ground in the dead of the night
So still and quiet

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. Lu
