MY AUNT DIED
ALONE IN THE SHOWER
LIKE SHE WAS
WAITING FOR THE BUS
I'M NOT PROTECTED
MY NERVES ARE RESTLESS
I HEAR A VOICE
I HEAR A PRESENCE
NOBODY TOLD ME
HOW TO LIVE ALONE

SUNFLOWER, IN NIGHTGOWN

I HATE THE PATH
THAT YOU WALK SO WELL
I'M TRYING TO FALL
THROUGH THE SUBWAY GRATE
4X4 MY OPEN FLOOR
LITTLE THINGS, STRANGERS WANDER IN
LITTLE THINGS, BIRDS COME FLYING IN
SHAME AND THIRST
WHICH CAME FIRST
YOUR WET LIPS
DRUNKENNESS
SUNFLOWER, IN NIGHTGOWN
YOU WEAR FOR
GHOST LOVERS
I CANNOT
POSSESS YOU
I SHOULD NOT
I WANT TO
OBVIOUS DISTANCES
NO CURRENT
NO MOTIVE
STOP YOUR HEART
LEARN TO STOP YOUR HEART

I JUST CAN'T BREATHE
AND I WON'T
AND I CAN'T
GIVE
CAUSE YOU'RE
AN OPEN THROAT
WASTING BREATH
I AM DOWN
AND YOU JUST CANT HELP ME UP
RECLAIM THIS LIFE AS YOURS
NOTHING IS LOST
EVERYTHING PRIOR RESTORED
THE INTERIM, FORGOT
TELL ME I SAW NOTHING
A TRICK OF THE LIGHT
I KNOW YOU LIED
I'LL BELIEVE IT TONIGHT
I KNOW THAT THERE'S MORE THAN A FLEETING APPARITION
ENDLESSLY LYING SUPINE
YOUR SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME

YOUR MARKS ARE GONE
ST. JOHN HAS COME
JUXTA CRUCEM
LACRIMOSA
I TRIED TO BITE
MY SHOULDERS LIKE
MY TEETH DON'T GRIP
LIKE YOURS DID
I GRASP AT SOMETHING
MORE FILLING THAN AIR
ELIXIR TO SORROW
RELIEF FROM DESPAIR
CONCUPISCENCE, LIMERENCE
A VAST YAWNING ACHE
A BOTTOMLESS YEARNING
ONLY ONE THING CAN SLAKE
MY FANTASY OF HONESTY
MISERABLE
AND I'M STRETCHED OUT
ON DAYS YOU WOVE
AN UGLY SACKCLOTH SHROUD
WITH EVERY DOUBT OF MINE
BUT IF I THINK ABOUT IT NOW...
I'LL KILL THIS LOVE TONIGHT

RISE UP
DETRITUS
BELOVED
OF OSIRIS
TAUNTED BY FOES IN DESPONDENT REPOSE
AWAKE
TO YOUR CHANCE
TO TAKE VENGEANCE
HOLY INDIGNATION REANIMATES FLESH
LUNGS WITHERED NOW QUIVER WITH FURIOUS BREATH
REWRITE THIS HISTORY OF MISERY AND BLOODSHED
PURGE THIS WORLD OF THIS SCOURGE OF THIS BLACK PLAGUE
LIKE DAYLIGHT CASTS OUT THE NIGHT

I gaze out the rose tinted windows of my ghost, but the sight that greets them just leaves them sore.Perception's a cracked windshield when the shot glass is half full.
Under noxious concussion sleep, I have a nightmare of discrepancy between what is and what could be.
So taken with possibility that I can't see the forest for reality.
This world is not my home, I'm just passing through. I'm still trapped on this desolate stone every time I click my ruby shoes.
Expunge my existence like a minor offense committed by an adolescent deity pubescent petty piety. Cursed into birth,life sentence unearned,
can't spring the clink of unrest,the house arrest of never feeling at peace. Peace of mind,a piece of mine: I WANNA DIE.
I just wanted to know...
(if your heart's so far from home.)
I just wanted to know...
(what are you riding out alone.)
If your heart's in your chest, or in the dirt
And what the fuck! The sunset is just polluted skies and Fall, which halts our breath, is just the color shit turns when it dies.

SUCCESSIONS

breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
and breathe out slowly count to ten
find the courage to find a clear mind
as yr heart beats itself into submission
i miss the safety of the past
when the world was more vast than
the front yard, its hard
my body was fine then and so was I.
those birds, their songs, these days
are like a din. their voices complain that the sun is a menace, so arrogant,
how its light can never fade
But I feel so close to the ceiling and nothing else
and life's like falling asleep before the sun sets
the curtains do no good so you took them down
But I'm not brave enough to try
to keep these hands from shaking
so I shut my eyes tighter than I ever thought I could.
Try to make it stop.
God, I'm not brave enough to try
Cause aging is just a succession of smaller, whiter rooms for us to pace in. And I'm scared.
But you can't stop a moving train
Or capture life in a picture frame,
you can only understand and accept
so breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in.
And I'm not afraid anymore.

I WROTE YOU A SHAMEFUL LITANY
DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT FROM ARM'S LENGTH
DISCREPANCIES
BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
I CANT DECIDE
BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
HOUSE OF GOLD
MORNINGSTAR
DISTANT GHOST
FACE OF GOD
THERE IS NO VESSEL, THERE IS NO HOME
IMPERMANENCE, IMPERMANENCE
YOUR PENANCE IS THIS
YOU CANNOT CONFESS

I don't know how many times I've purchased digital and hard copy versions this of this record but I will gladly do so many more times if and when I have to. Had the chance of opening for these guys a few years back when they were playing as Never Young, except I had no idea they were the dudes from Calc until mid-conversion with them. Great dudes and great fucking tunes.

Who says the french can't do some proper emo? Also awesome album opening with the Stand by Me references. The tracks are absolutely banging and the whole album is worth listening to.

NO ESPERANZA
by this is the part where you help me
This Jersey crew makes a ferocious mix of guttural grind and heavy hardcore punk, with lyrics aimed square at sociopolitical ills.

The mix of shoegaze, punk, and noise from this Seattle band is notable for its urgency and bright, foregrounded vocals.

There's a clear inheritance from bands like Saetia & Envy here, but Frameworks throws in a whole lot more: a blast beat here, a little ambient horn there. This is a very polished and evocative EP, the instant soundtrack to whatever time period in which you first discovered it.
