There’s a pill that you take
When you feel lost and low.
It’s the hit of a love,
Little drug of control.
And it spins all your sense,
Right into the cold ground.
And you head for the hills
Stick your thumb right into your mouth.
It’s been a long time coming for you.
It’s been a long night running from truth.
Take a good hard look at yourself
On the carousel.
I got cake
I got sweets
I got all you can eat
But what a feast for a thief
And three courses just for a coward's dream.
But I’m back on my stomach
Hold you close, Hold you from it.
Little sword in my side
I got nothing to hide
(I’m lying)
A long time coming for you
It’s been a long night running from truth.
Take a good hard look at yourself
On the carousel
Cut my corners clean
Give me dopamine
Cut my corners clean
Give me dopamine
It’s been a long time coming for you
It’s been a long night running from truth.
Take a good hard look at yourself
On the carousel
This is what I remember emo and pop punk music *sounding* like in the 90s and 2000s, but not what it actually sounded like. basking in the glow is an emotionally mature update of those times, and much appreciated. thepirc
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
If you've ever had to Google clumsy phrases to find a word that matched a feeling you could only feebly describe, and you ended up discovering words like hiraeth, sehnsucht, or saudade, The Million Masks of God may be an excellent companion soundtrack to your experience. joel
I got to listen to some of these songs live during Origami Angel's tour in 2022, which was a really cool experience. I loved them enough to buy a CD!!! KZDEX
