I don't really remember recording this song at all, which is unfortunate since I really like the instrumentation
lyrics
Could you imagine what it is to be alive?
Can you tell me what the answer is?
I'd like to think that I know it
Could you tell me what to say?
I feel like my lips have been sewn shut
If I knew half of what it is you meant, I could die
But for now I'll drift in the illusion I've made in my head
Could you be hiding something from me?
If I asked, would you tell me the truth?
Maybe I should just bite my tongue
If I wasn't so afraid of biting it off
Could you imagine the words "death" and "happy" in the same sentence?
I can't
I want to disturb as many people as I can
And sometimes I feel like I want to do it to you, too

An album in two parts; a coherent, optimistic first half, and a darker, depressing second half. This is the album that dreams and nightmares are made of, a plunge into the abyss with no way out. Tyler King
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Pretty, Lush-inspired dream pop has a gentle touch, with whispered spoken-sung French vocals drifting lightly over shimmering guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2019
