lyrics

5th cup of coffee
First meal of the day
Just home from work
But the feeling doesn’t go away
11 11
Getting closer to hell
There’s a burning right behind my eyelids
I think my throat is beginning to swell

I’m not doing so good right now
I’m not really feeling like myself

these hands
are my mother's hands but scarred
i say as if hers aren't
reading the same life lines
26 years apart
our homemade bloodstained art
incongruent counterparts
complimentary neuroses
can you believe we've made it this far?

----

Gotta get my coffee before I can open the door
Have you ever asked who these lyrics are for?
I’d like to say they’re for me
But listening back I really can’t agree
Wear my cum stained jammies as I sip my drink
Gotta guilt myself into moving or else I’ll just
Sit and think and that’s not good
Cause that’ll lead to me talking

Shower, shave, and slip on all my pretensions
Have you ever played with your genre conventions?
Like the world is just yours to fuck
Like your narrative comes before the people you love
Feel my stats go up from the clothes I put on
I fictionalise everything that goes wrong
Into this neat little meta where I can game
All my problems away

Apparently I’ve got OCD
So don't talk to me
I’d like to say I’m trying
But is this what trying feels like?
A bullshit timesink roguelike?

I don’t know
So don't talk to me
I'd like to say I'm living
But is this what living feels like?
A barren hardcore soulslike?

DEMOS for the band 7 Hour Darkness Invasion. Be warned, there's a lot of out of tune singing and out of time playing. These are essentially drafts of what I want the albums to actually be.

C/W: lots of stuff about blood/suicide/alcohol/trans issues ... more
