a conflict brews under the surface
i cant bare the weight of it all
as time goes on-
the lack builds up
the hole grows larger
i feel so much farther
you’re so far
it’s out of my hands
so much goes on
you cant understand
im just trying to be
the best i can
it’s setting me off
it’s happening again
you can find me in my empty room
counting down the clock, waiting for someone-
to change a mind that only gets made
when it works against me in every way
set me up
to tear me down
beat my head
into the fucking ground
for my sins
i know i deserve it all
but for her sake
this needs to change
im shutting off, im gonna disconnect
from my own self, i cant say how i’ve felt
and i only wish i had the strength
to face what i have to face
falling from myself again
falling from myself again

i loved you the same
as i would anybody else
inexperienced soul
trying to fill the void
so i watch from afar
thinking you might save yourself
i think i should save you
but im just a boy
i can still see you
in velvet dreams
behind the curtain
is a memory
it goes on and on
i never know
it goes on and on
i never know
i can still see you
in velvet dreams
behind the curtain
is a memory
the world wasnt made for the young
im festering in impure love
what ive seen i cant turn away from
innocence swallowed by your tongue

i rang you up
you haven’t called me back
if you’re in love with someone else
it’s best to let me know
you left me hanging on
you haven’t been around
when you find your way back
can we meet alone?
i found god in the woods
i shared laura’s dream
there’s no secrets kept from this quiet town
all that i want
is always out of reach
right by the ocean’s where the devil was found
i feel the tension building
there’s a sickness in my stomach
where have you been?
where have you been?
how could i ever have loved you-
cause i never knew the truth?
who have you been?
who have you been?
this life is a myth
only to be forgot
our love will be swallowed by the time
until i rot
until i lose my mind
i’ll be haunted by your watershed eyes
|

our time is measured by the beating of our hearts
what a tragedy- to relegate the soul to the body
i caress your face and know your love so dear
the words fell from your lips i caught you in a glimpse
i still dream of your watershed eyes
i need your love i need your light
moonlight covers your head and arms
i can barely tell who you are
even after all of this time
im still fawning over you tonight
i wanna share in your tragedy
pick up the knife and make me bleed
even after all of this time-
im still chasing dreams and saying goodbye
i still dream of your watershed eyes
i need your love i need your...
i still dream of your watershed eyes
i need your love i need your light

i wanna find
a better world
could it be here
under frozen skies?
the people see
me as someone else
i like that sometimes
its good to hide
sing to me
i want your company
an emptiness
fills the suffocating air
the earth is lacking
when you look too close
there’s bodies drifting
away from me
the one’s i trust
always break me down
ill go away
into the shadows now
sing to me
i want your company
an emptiness
fills the suffocating air
you swear on your scarlet dream
that one day you’ll know what this means
they’ll find my body washed up
all i wanted was love
|

sleep well my dreaming love
i watch you rest
caress your hair and wonder what
you’re dreaming of-
i’ve missed you so much
now i’d give the world up
just to have some more time
i feel so useless, and i miss you
i just can’t get it right
time falls into the water
beneath the earth
if i could swim, i’d reach the bottom
and bring it back
i’d make it work
but i drown
in the depths now
all for wistful dreams
the guilt swells
my eyes burn
there’s no saving me
i really hate that im missing out
i really hate that im missing out again
i really hate that im missing out
i really hate that im missing out again
there’s a window closing in my dreams
a ticking clock is haunting me

i find you waking up
you often arise with the sun
there are stars in your eyes
and im proud to always be by your side
you can find me dreaming
underneath a southern sky
covered by the night
i can always be there
you can always be here
im still holding on
to all that matters in my life
i cant wait till i return
i can always be there
you can always be here
its so distant-
its always a dream
and yet it’s all i have
i keep wishing it was just you and me
the time is flying too fast
there’s a moonlight beaming
tears become an ocean tide
i’ll see you another time
i can always be there
you can always be here
i’m hopeless, dreaming-
the world will shift to balance out
to give me some reprieve
i can always be there
you can always be here
there’s something calling from the open door
the dark surrounding might swallow me whole
when all i wanted was the safety of home
i grew sufficient with what i know
i wanna wash away
from the sea to the sky
i wanna fall into the earth
cause i’ve been away
i’ve been spending my time
on an endless
endless
search

when i awake
a distant dream
tugs at my heart strings
and haunts my waking day
i wanna be
right there with you
right where we belong
somewhere
we’ve never been to
i’m lost in a place i’ll never be
the world has taken its toll on me
there’s something stolen from deep inside my soul
there must be a happiness that i’ll never know
inside my head-
there’s better days
i wish i could make it real
it keeps calling
pulling me away
from everything that’s here
i’ll fall in love
and i’ll never be lonely
or overwhelmed by the prospect
if i’m a rat in a maze
then i haven’t left
the starting line yet
always falling-
in love
with a
dream
something that i
can’t touch
always out of- reach

my love goes
from one to another
it projects from my soul
into yours
keep a safe distance
from every lover
built you up in my head
only to fall short
i’m always wanting more
i always want too much
i’m never enough
hollow, disillusioned with the figures of love
constantly burdened by reality
let me escape
im slowly losing my faith
i saw you with someone better than me
i know that you always wanted it this way
why is it always so far-
happiness is always out of reach
why is it always so hard-
to gain, to hold and keep with me?
i always want too much
i’m never enough
hollow, disillusioned with the figures of love
im always waiting for another chance!
don’t burden me with freedom from this dreaming trance
why is it always so far-
happiness is always out of reach
why is it always so hard- to gain, to hold and keep with me?

another failed endeavor
i just like to pretend
but it’s not getting better
escape into my bed
i wanna remember what love is like
i wanna feel your hand in mine
circle around and around again
there’s always a dream haunting my head
circle around and around again
they’ll only love you when you’re dead
i hope you get my letters
i hope the sun shines so bright
if i’m taken out the picture
i hope that it serves you right
i wanna remember what love is like
i wanna feel your hand in mine

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
