entered the new dimension through
self-reflection in a dim-lit room
after picturing you in monroe park
planted publicly alone by the landmark
on the path back home
far from burdened by the cold
a scene that seemed to
never leave my mind
but now it's getting old
and i've signified that
place in my life as the past
i am not who i was and
i wish you could forgive me for that
refurnished with roaches
and a recall overdue
i scrapped those postcards that
i'd meant to send to you
because i knew they'd just blend
with the clutter of your bedroom floor
swore you're the reason we don't talk
like we used to anymore
but i felt the quake, i saw the thief in
my conscious sleep-paralyzed dreams and
i wanted to tell you everything
how i'd been playing make-believe
but i was silent, self-conscious
i bet i'd never have the nerve regardless
but you got it all along
and i never knew any better
until i got gone.
This album is a whole experience, every song is perfect, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the slow quiet parts hit just as much as the loud upbeat parts. I love this album so much. okmadrock
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.

Terry Venemous is releasing new music every 3 weeks this year. His latest EP is sumptuous art pop with a wry sense of detachment.
