stop selling your lies
stop selling your fucking lies
we all know it is a scam and a hoax
you can't fool us
stop selling your lies
stop selling those god damned lies
in this world we are lost
please hear this:
stop selling your fucking lies
when the sun sets on this mess
all is lost all is gone
we are one
no one else will know that we
all took your word
took our time
gave our trust
we will never be quite the same again
stop selling your lies
stop selling your fucking lies
we all know it was a gift
like a pearl
stop selling your lies
stop selling those god damned lies
in this world we are lost
please hear this:
stop selling your fucking lies
when the sun sets on this mess
all is lost all is gone
we are one
no one else will know that we
all took your word
took our time
gave our trust
we will never be quite the same again
flames will engulf you
angels will take you
trees will claw at you with their roots
flies will laugh at you all night
stop selling your fucking lies

a breach in my mind
you know I'll fuck it up
this preacher is god
he knows I'll fuck/fuck it up
a treacherous flaw
we know I'll fuck it up
you're probably right
a burning halo
whatever you say
don't ever bring it up
my secret's my own
don't ever bring it up
your face is a blur
I said "don't bring it up"
I'll try to comply
my hair is burning
when I sing
nature dies
it is a breach in my mind
you know I'll fuck it up
this preacher is god
he knows I'll fuck-fuck it up
a treacherous flaw
we know I'll fuck it up
you're probably right
a burning halo
whatever you say
don't ever bring it up
my secret's my own
don't ever bring it up
your face is a blur
I said "don't bring it up"
I'll try to comply
my hair is burning
when I sing
nature dies
when I love
people cry
a breach in my mind
this preacher is god
a treacherous flaw
you're probably right
whatever you say
my secret's my own
your face is a blur
I'll try to comply

Blue plus the Shapes
03:48

blue plus the shapes makes me want to go insane
too much fascination
one single mole breaks the pale perfection
distant look so full of need
I remember
that eerie voice chanting "YOU LOOK SICK"
too much passion
one single syllable will never be enough
body parts glued together in a perfect match
so far away
long gone
don't stray too far
I'm here
why don't you just take a real good look at yourself
too much self-hatred
funny when I see you do know how to love yourself
life is pain
yes, I do know that
but don't give up
not yet
blue plus the shapes makes me want to go insane
too much fascination
one single mole breaks the pale perfection
distant look so full of need
I remember
so far away
long gone
don't stray too far
I'm here

just one more time
just one more glance
it can't be over 'cause I love you
you love you
you know it's true
when the darkness arrives
what happened to your face?
where are your arms and legs?
you can't be over because I love you
I loved us
we know it's true
when the darkness arrives
nothing but nothing
please carry me now
I'll carry you too
please carry me now
I'll carry you too

kill me
just like you always do
she said you laughed and laughed
the sun goes crazy every night
while the moon just cries
wishes it could go away to my hide-out
just like I always do
she says you sought and sought
the moon goes crazy every night
while the sun just shouts and cries

human deer inside
fear them all
I might
cut them up, you say?
next second I will be prey
wet eyes staring at me
now there's not even a sound
I won't mutilate them this time
this time around
angry creatures hating me
human deer inside
kill them all
I might
send them off
an awful fright
tearful eyes
through the night
cut them up, you say?
next second I will be prey
wide mouths crying to me
now there's not even a sound
I can't mutilate them again
next time they'll do it to me
angry creatures hating me

This Is How It Will End

I dreamt that I woke up
this place is all I ever wanted
we can hide here
you and I are one
embracing
the old bridge
the darkness makes the stars shine bright
reflecting
oh they're watching over us
we can see this dream and feel it
although we cannot touch it
in despair we call out
the waves carry their light
crashing into pillars underneath us
waves are breaking
all is bliss
the wind tries to freeze us
ice keeps forming all around us
skin defending
nothing it can do
we can see this dream and feel it
although we cannot touch it
in despair we call out
bringing you knowledge
I condemn that the fact of life is that everything must come to an end
why did I wake up
where did our beautiful bridge disappear to?
where did the stars go?
you will find comfort
until you hear what it is I'm trying to tell you
don't ever wake up
just hear me out now
this is how it will end
it wastes your mind I know
you have faded yourself into
a big vast wasteland
are you waiting for bliss to appear?
play your cards right and you know you will find your savior in time to escape the flames
ride the wave
ride
watch your back 'cause everyone is about to see what it is that you do when you lose control
check
your pulse is off
place yourself in a casket
and make sure that it's sealed real tight
break away

ailing it's my own fault that I'm in this mess
now I better gulp down some more of this
inhale and breathe the fire I'm tied to
face up to my own flaws
save your grace for anyone else but me
your grace is flawed
going to beat up myself once every day
I will mess up myself
quite bad
failing it's my own choice
if you take my word for it
I will show you what I can
do this twice and fail miserably
no one will believe
save your grace for anyone else but me
your grace is flawed
insanity is up in my face
laughing all night
dancing upon the grave of my life
throw it up
it is the funeral pyre blazing
it's you tainting everything I have lost
chasing around my own tail
it's the tragedies of life
that keeps us going strong
don't let them tell you otherwise
let me chase you to the void
let me chase you in the sky
oh I
going to beat up myself once every day
I will mess up myself
quite bad
once every day
I will mess up myself
let me chase you to the void
let me chase you in the sky
oh I
throw it up
it is the funeral pyre blazing
it's you tainting everything I have lost

and you know my name
watching everything
don't despair, my child
and you spoke His name
scratch it 'till it's raw now
playing cat and the mouse
crave it 'till it flees now
we despise His name
can't we just be friends
bring me way out to the sea
my boat has sunk
can't we just make peace
bring me way up to the sky
my plane has crashed
please cut me some slack
I have been dead way too long
people never die
lest we forget
don't tempt fate
put the ladder up
let me climb there by myself
painless
breathe the air
then tumble down
let me do this deed
now we're talking to ourselves
madness
blight
concede into the void

Snipe
03:11

THE BIRTH OF ANOTHER BIRD
my biggest fear is that one day
the egg in her stomach will go through
her chest up her throat and out her beak
that same shiny beak
that's already been stabbed well inside my chest
this means that the egg will go inside my body
where it will connect to my capillaries
and the surrounding tissue within my chest
the egg will get stronger
and it will grow bigger
then one day it will hatch
and with its razor sharp wings
another snipe will cut its way out of me
paralyzed and dismembered
I will be forced to spend the rest of my life
looking into her warm eyes
and accept the fact that my chest and wings
suffered from the birth of another bird

there we were
trying to make our way through the city
when a black cab pulls up
out comes a tiny man
"cut your hair, you god damned satanists"

Evening on Earth
by Colonial Skyway
supported by 20 fans who also own “You Look Sick”
This is brooding & menacing. It has a radio waves, broken transmission feel to. The featured machines haven't neccesarily taken over, but they're inescapable. Waiting. Watching. Especially love Fairway. It sounds like the ocean - but this is the waters swirling around Fang Rock, in the middle of the night. There's danger afoot. Beautiful stuff.

Dystopian Pulse
by Christian Schwöbel
supported by 19 fans who also own “You Look Sick”
Apocalyptic and elegant. Dystopian Pulse sits somewhere on the fringes of familiarity and something alien. Highlights: the heavy, distorted revelation at the climax in Machine and the melancholic swells/twinkles and flourishes early in Dirt. Though I have a feeling the comparatively understated bonus track 'Crackle' could easily grow into a favourite with its almost Minecraft-esque ending and enveloping soundscape.

The Symmetry of Telemetry
by Rick Reed
Expansive soundscapes make up the latest from Rick Reed, full of lush, haunting atmospherics.
go to album
Tempering dystopian electronics with Morricone-esque set pieces, the UK psych soothsayers' latest album is also their most dynamic.
go to album
An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes.
