I know, that it's not the way you planned it.
And "took for granted"'s an understatement.
I caught a glimpse of my future in your eyes
You told us stories of your life, then I thought about the end of mine
Oh and I know, you'll always be twice the man I could be
I've got your blood in mine, but I couldn't give the time
But there's life in me left, I haven't given up yet.
I've come across this point in my life once or twice before
Where I can barely count on one hand all the things I have to live for
Cause I don't do the things that I love, and when I do, it feels like a chore
I'll never as pure as you and I don't feel like myself anymore.
Oh I'm a fragment of myself.
And there's so many things I have left to do before I leave
Instead of falling victim to an endless cycle of fear and anxiety
And I don't wanna get too old and be stuck inside a cage
So I'll get the fuck up and I'll scream my lungs out "I got some shit to get done today"
Frail limbs and retirement homes
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
Cause I worry about everything
I worry, it's true
I worry about me sometimes
but mostly about you.
I swear there's life left in me yet
No time, no time to second guess
I'm still here and not dead yet
And I feel it now, I'm not dead yet
Frail limbs and retirement homes
(I swear there's life left in me yet, no time, no time to second guess)
I'm not afraid to die anymore
(I'm still here and not dead yet, and I feel it now, I'm not dead yet )
So, you said, there's a future on the other side
So you said...
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
the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection. skeletalsexing
