lyrics

There’ll be no more nights spent staring at the ceiling tiles
No days spent inside
I’ll be damned if I can make it through this grieving style
with tears left to cry
well I’ve been trying these past few weeks to get you off of my mind
but I can’t help the way that of you all things do remind
there’ll be no more nights spent staring at the TV tired
those sitcoms are trite
and I spent a long wishing that I’d died last year but still I survive
well I’ve been trying these past few months to get a hold of you
though I won’t wait I can’t relate to what you’re feeling

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
