Mona Lisa But Also Screams
from PlasticBag FaceMask x Mazakari by PlasticBag FaceMask
lyrics
These are the words of a failure
A recluse sunk deep inside
Shed the skins of every past life
And watch their ashes float to the sky
Can you count the stars each night
Do you think they notice you
Will you feed off me like I feed off the sun
I haven’t felt this empty in a long time
And that pressure behind your eyes
When you know that nothing will be alright
For the rest of the day
For the rest of my life
These are the words of a failure
A recluse sunk deep inside
Overpaying rent for a liminal space
I am busy moving mountains while you are only moving goalposts
Visit me in my sleep
Visit my hospital bed
Visit my grave
An eagle eye
When trying to find
The value in others
But blinded when I look inward
Scar tissue too thick
And run the risk
Of reopening the wound
I rescued myself from in the first place
I’ve ground my teeth to a powder
Just to make a point
Can’t unclench
my jaw have
to bite the hand
A recluse sunk deep inside
Shed the skins of every past life
And watch their ashes float to the sky
Can you count the stars each night
Do you think they notice you
Will you feed off me like I feed off the sun
I haven’t felt this empty in a long time
And that pressure behind your eyes
When you know that nothing will be alright
For the rest of the day
For the rest of my life
These are the words of a failure
A recluse sunk deep inside
Overpaying rent for a liminal space
I am busy moving mountains while you are only moving goalposts
Visit me in my sleep
Visit my hospital bed
Visit my grave
An eagle eye
When trying to find
The value in others
But blinded when I look inward
Scar tissue too thick
And run the risk
Of reopening the wound
I rescued myself from in the first place
I’ve ground my teeth to a powder
Just to make a point
Can’t unclench
my jaw have
to bite the hand

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.
