catonvenus I bought this cassette blindly and finally got around to listening to it today and I was actually blown away. This album really resonated with me and the song writing and instrumentation were incredible. Peak album. Favorite track: No More Light.

and whatll we become when we come undone when all is said and done will we become one? be quiet and run be quiet my love ooo will anything be the same oo everything changed All the midnight passages to you they might mean nothing Life’s a nearly perfect storm because of how they run things We’d talk and talk for hours and we’d settle for the small things Cause all the greats get haunted I just really want you calling again

take time in the rain i hope you chase Whoever could have been your lover im sure in this light a trick of the eye could not be told from one another i know you forgetting we all havent slept we sink down but sinking isnt drowning no hope now just echoes of all our friends go to bed drunk with guilt and wake up sober im sorry all but i think im getting older frayed tethered unscathed brink of a blade could erase this disorder time drawing thin lines under our eyes these four walls drawing closer til i give in to you nothing will be stopped brand new is only but a ruse youre only my sweet debility stay away from me keep me on my feet its like im running from something but these stairways and hallways repeat will i forget you in the future now that youve become so tall will it be just like the movies or will it really not happen at all and now that its time and now that I turn do you still have the same laugh? the one that lives inside in my heart? do you still have the same love? we promised we would stay in touch but its never that easy, the difference is time passed we used to be the best of friends, do you still have the same friends

i could swear i saw your face in the window staring back at me high off speculation i let myself be deceived i know youre out of town now and it stings like jealousy but the guilt would almost kill me that dream is dead thank god for that youre only here in the back of my mind (you dont remember) youre only here when i think im terrified (you dont remember) the bastardiser the patron saint of disconnetction of feel no shame you leave a wreck unconfined even if you're gone ill be okay so cut to the chase oo please cut to the chase and years and years I can't drive with my eyes wide what if I was blind? I can't drive with my eyes open I guess I might aswell close them it takes more time than i thought to love yourself it takes way more time than i thought to love yourself it takes more time than i thought to love yourself it takes way more time than that for somebody else to say that they love you i couldn't handle it when you left i screamed at the wall until my last breath my heart blowing up in a split second universe wide infinite heat death i know my efforts were futile but it still hurts so i guess ill turn my failed relationships to a song so my inner feelings can be prolonged its all gonna end on a sour note every word that i wrote wont mean anything, anything now get some excersize! get some sleep at night but when you're mad at me is the end of times (and im maddddd) and im mad at you all the other times it takes more time than i thought to love yourself (I’ve been learning how to find peace) it takes way more time than i thought to love yourself (cuz I know you moved on without me) it takes more time than i thought to love yourself (I’ve been learning how to find peace) it takes more time than that for somebody else to say that they love you (cuz I know you moved on without me) I've been learning how to find peace cuz I know you moved on without me I've been learning how to find peace cuz I know you moved on without me

im homesick every where i go without you love too close to recognise the ghost im dreaming of the first song we sang, the first words i spoke i lost my way when i lost your note couldnt bring myself to write back itd have felt like i needed the last laugh but i just want to know all at once i backpedal toward you always limits to fortuneI often wonder How it feels to be Wanted of night oo, its all my fault Its nice to think that you’re out there, somewhere Thinking of me

i cant sleep for anything now the story ends in waves exchanged you left a few things at my house but its hard to walk in after youve walked out call me if you want i know you wont no we wont be strangers but we wont be friends i dont think ill ever see you again but if i do just know that you can call me if you want call me if you want i know you wont call me if you want i know you wont well you can call you can call cause after all were stilll friends does it really have to end?

the heavy water by noon ill love you agin soon just need time at the bottom of a lagoon and the feeling looms theres no light haunting all the greats its not personal blame the jeasouly that made me this way i wish the rain woulsd stay im captivated by the way life soundtracks a day might distract my brain from the only thing i said soon well be friends again you had to say I never liked you anyway

you ran too far you're a dead end waiting to happen you come your embrace that of a phantom by the time that we both spoke in tandem by the time your walls were in action nothing stays in place no no matter how far you fall from grace I will always love you in the old fashioned way I know ill forget you someday (still read the letters from your ghost) bad dream all the small things are embarrassing Whatever you'd call this, not a relationship Until our solitary paths may intersect And I see you once again, no migraines spent with a camera, your childhood one, around your neck and a locket with old friends we've not forgotten yet you're a bad dream, cuz you can't miss what you forget all the small things let me fall into regret Too many memories we shared To shy away from but I’m scared I’ll fall back into you again There’ll be tears, somehow silent Fighting words, or the verge of fighting Cos we were never really violent But I wish we were, at least then we’d be trying Flooded hearts and obscured meanings Those friends who did all of the speaking They put the words in my mouth The words I wish I could've doubted the words are out its not going to work out there's nothing I can do

until I have it all, until u have it all, I won't sleep im freaking out, by the day in the morning that's my trade just a mishap happens again I can't control it so it stays inside my mind now im awake until I time out in the safe place beside my head I should go there instead there's no more light, shine through what these yesterdays become hollow rottings in my skull and if my world may come undone its no explicable phenomenon taking aim to lift your love sullied bodies don't need anyone with all these webs that I have spun well somebody out there, needs someone just another bad dream don't know why this Is happening if there's something you want to say just say it cos I don't want to wait around and I still want you around nothing to do im afraid I only used to be in love with you in the past now you've missed your chance me and you, we could do better we could go back to our old lives, old light we could go back to better times, better light, better days, better may, its hard to live in this skin what a counterin tuitive thing no wonder im not fitting in i dont recognise my face what a terrible time ive swallowed every key the light on the lake is gone no stardust and no one (no more light) my paranoia induced sleep cascading over me the anchor on my feet the verdict is out and I think im guilty guilty of leaving my friends as mere history I guess its nice to know they're out there on their own but that doesn't meet the fear of being lonely (no more light) my paranoia induced sleep cascading over me the anchor on my feet

deprived of oxygen return to possum springs learned to live again through the medium of childhood friends summer days descend the early year expense but ill be content just tell me what you never said do do do tbh fr i think you put it best when you said "time and time again you find new ways to pretend like you were ever really there" because its not like I thought about you every single day since you've moved there's too many things ill regret til im dead I just sat in my room and stared at the ceiling to help with the fact that you're gone and not leaving can't assume or make a decision and there's no third option do do do ong I used to look too hard and find Fragments of what I’ve left behind Places I used to go to hide Friends that cant sleep at night Now ive Begun to see them more I’ve never said anything for They stood silent but I was sure I couldn’t reach them anymore they go everywhere I seem to be looking
