about

spiky post-punk to file alongside 'Transmission' by Joy Division or 'Shine On' by the House of Love

lyrics

Just where do I become content?
These sins surrounding me.
This distraction, a heart-strung reaction
Open hands and fractured smiles.
Oh, the veils, veils, veils
All the time, surrounding me.
I'll never be hurt this way again,
Ridding myself of niaive content.

It's nothing, my feelings
Inside.
It's something, I've known
Inside

I could almost hear her breathe
You could feel her breath upon you.

And so it had to end
A ghost, a pill, a forgotten friend.
It's just Like Mother said,
Read it once then leave again.
