what a horrible day
i've lost a friend
it's weighing on my mind
it was not what i did
or what i said
but who i am inside
people fill me with fear
unpredictable, insincere
i've been betrayed once or twice
they gut me and leave me
people fill me with dread
only ashes in my head
i've been killed many times
they drain my arteries
they're all so goddamn hollow
hollow shells, painted faces
they don't love, their life is painless
they just take, never give
feeding on warm blood to live
this wasn't how i thought it worked
i'm the only one who hurts
hollows gather around to see
as you smile and impale me
[impaled noises]
people fill me with fear
unpredictable, insincere
i've been betrayed once or twice
they gut me and leave me
people fill me with dread
only ashes in my head
i've been killed many times
they drain my arteries
you lifted my head up
then tried to destroy me
the second i looked away
you're sociopathic
feeding on agony
but i don't easily sway
your demons will cascade
swallow you whole one day
and no one will remember you
the ruin that you bring
you're worth less than nothing
i hope you drown in guilt
jamie's performance and melodies are so bubbly and cute, the production is so dancy yet complex and jazzy, the songwriting has such romance and whimsy, it's hard not to fall in love with this album. Drainpuppet
no diving is on a new level for housebreaker. it's a shakespearean tragedy painted with breakbeats, distorted saw waves and ample reverb. it is a melancholy epic the grandiosity of which is unmatched. Drainpuppet
every time dis sings i float away, his voice sounds like an ember fireplace, i need more. we'll have to take what few nuggets of gold ichor he allows us. he's also a gnarly rapper, it's not fair!!! Drainpuppet
