Sometimes I look at her
and right into her eyes.
I notice the way she thinks about
dying with a smile.
Curved lips she just can’t disguise,
but she thinks that lying to herself
will make her life worth while.
Fall asleep in her bed.
Wake up the next day
buried in her head.
We start this process again
while her migraine consumes
what little life she has left to live.
I think it’s fine
but I think too much.
In your bed with you,
I just feel more alone.
I think I’m better off dead,
‘cause I don’t know where to go.
Young and in love
and everyone loves you.
If it’s all in my head
I think I’d rather be headless.

Terrific goth-y post-punk from Pittsburgh full of knifepoint guitars, threatening atmospheres, and vocals delivered with a scowl. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2022
one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
