I can't find me anymore but I'll breathe faster this time now that I know you're ahead grabbing me from the flames like drowning quicksand
I know you're hiding in this spark, will you stay with me until they're gone? We're so close
Wait, I'll watch the time, we're so close, your spark makes me drive
I don't mind waiting for you to say hello
I know you can take the day off, will you spend it with me?
I can't find me anymore, new corridors
I can't find me anymore, blank ammo swords
But at least I found you

Scratch

Remember me, she said...Is there any other way?
I'll wait for her to break me first
I'm wondering how I'll be okay, I broke again, just said your name
I'm always looking back for you aligned with indecision all the time
I'll wait for her to break me first, I'll wait for her to wash the lines
I will be her last decision, right?
I will start from luck and then I'll work my way through the punches and show you like the first time
I will be the one to save you, I will be there for the last time you sing
I will be her last decision, I'll wait for her to break the lines
I'll fade into a story just for her
And then she bursts, and then I'll burst

Take My Jacket, Pauline

You talk out of line
Will you take me tragic this time?
In time you'll try, somehow you brought the ceiling down
In time you'll lie, don't let it weigh you down
Step outside, divide the shake, you're vanishing harder in every way everyday
Come ride with me out of this scene, it's on repeat, you won't feel a thing
I still want to know how you brought the roof down, how you turned the lights out
Will you take me away?
Everyday I want to stay, in every way I want to stay
I'm finally clear

Postcard
03:30
|
|||
|
In my head I know your side but I'm lost in dead divide
I'll bear your stares for one last taste I could've been with you
In my heart I hide in gray, I mistimed, I lost today
I feel undressed on this occasion where we're breaking everything
There's no single burn that can drag me back in
It's time for me to dream again, I'll try to find you a postcard in June
In my eyes this round is yours, I know you know
Stuck like glue, I thought you said you were warming up to ideas of me
Now I burn and you burn, postmarked for another turn
The lights are on but I can't believe you said those things to me

Bulletproof Girl
03:34
|

|
Will you break me down?
I'm bulletproof now
I can see every word bounce off you and I realized I spoke to soon
If I fold, will you take me out? If I fold, will you take me down?
You'll never find your way back
I'll never find my way back
Blindfold me so I won't know where to aim
I can't reach you now

Details Of My World

You say this all the time
You would come down if I stopped asking you for more
You're destroying all my words, look at me now
You're pulling slow, don't you realize that hurts more?
It's okay to lose control, would you come down just for me?
You're miles away from who I knew
I can't reach even when you're in the room
You turn all the time, one more time
Here we go again
I won't try to erase you, you're in every last detail
But would you just come down?
Maybe it's time

Breaking

Wrapped up in how it's framed, I still run from every masquerade you made this way
I burned the first time out, I burned the first time I wasn't mine to save
I know this time will hit you hard
I think I'll run to the last row
I know you're the star here, I can't fight against every last piece you throw
Picked up where we left off, you still run from everything I gave to you
We're breaking up for the 100th time
We broke up, so will you be mine? Why can't we let it go?
I've decided I've turned to stone
I'm numb from every last blow, every last throw
Stuck on where we can never go
We'll break this time, you say you're fine, I'll say I'm fine

The Best Part
03:10
|
|||
|
I will be the first to call but then I forget you're still armed
I can't see past you this time, the battle scars you are
Behind, I'm dragging in the ocean
It's time, I'll bring the disappointment
Alight, I can't hide from it this time
Don't look at your false starts, look at all the heart shots you returned
Don't look at your false starts and drive out the best part of me (The best part is you)
...if you'd just stick around

Numbered Days

I'm starting from scratch inside but the visions of you are still here in me
The visions of you are still me
Counting each ghost now, I'm blacking out in sound
I'm marking each one down filling up with doubt all at the same time
They ought to know that I just want them to leave
When will they go away?
All of my ghosts are back in town tonight
All of my ghosts waiting for the spite all at the same time, all in the same line
And then they hide, I'm trying to catch them but they slip through everything
They ought to know even obscured in jagged space, I'll come back to you
Will you come back to me?

On Your Mark
02:16
|
|||
|
Battles in your arms, I warned you
Lead me into the dark, I'll find you
It's time to come apart, you warned me
But you're still deciding if I should be the one
Well come find me, on your mark, get set, go
You release me to the wolves, they'll never understand me
Leave me to the wolves, you won today
Don't remind me where we were then we can part ways for sure
On your mark, get set, go

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
