By the fiery skyline I will
seek what kills me slowly and softly
By the light of this ghastly stare
I'll lie comatose, aged poorly, unstopping
I never got to feel the sun,
I wouldn't know what to miss if the ceiling caught me
Wet devastation tells me taste the wine
I got drunk on the thought of the sun collapsing
(I can't save myself from this)
What spells were cast by your heavenly eyes onto me?
(Stained, old Icarus)
Believe me, this isn't anything you haven't seen yet
(Blatant disregard)
What's the point in trying when trying just leads to this?
(Begging to fall apart)
Lovely and lonesome like a split tongue full of debris
(BABY, BABY, BABY! YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF!
BABY, BABY, BABY! OPEN YOUR EYES! LOOK AT THE SUN!)
Garish looks from plastic faces
The alcove paints plain discontentment
Leaning into a uselessness,
cold shoulders sing songs of celebration
I never felt the caress of sleep,
I sat petrified, gross eyes gleamed vacant
Underneath the helm of defeat
I lay rotten and hungry in a summer's derangement
(What's the plague of breath within?)
Do my eyes play tricks or am I finally starting to get it?
(Baseless pilgrimage)
Catching fire, catching looks from the hungriest grimaces
(A strangers dream, I guess)
Oh my god, my skin, I can't feel my fucking skin!
(I fed myself to depth)

I love it when an album that is not my usual thing hits so hard. Great songs and instrumentation all around; I especially love the guitar stutter on Floreal over the chiptune rhythm track. barnaby nygren
