the city is clouds you make him the sun
you wanted that poison and bit the gun
you know it don't say much the things that he did
you'll build him a tower
he'll burn you a bridge
the nihilist tells you that nothing is true
i said i faked global warming just to get close to you
i read the book i drank the chains i made you look
and i'm still here i'm digging through the trash
i can hear the train as it moves past
the chase is as trite as the story i stage
a projection i write in a book on a page
but i won't do what i ought to
that vacant stare i make to fool you
i'm watching from bodegas on the street
and i'll say barely just how highly i can think
the arsonist tells you that it gets more blue
the things you believe in a clay-bedroom snooze
i read the book i drank the chains i made you look
and i'm still here
i'm always digging in trash
i can hear the train as it moves past

This split EP from two France-based musicians is a gem, both artists recalling the glory days of slowcore in their heart-tugging melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2023
