Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far
Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
Not like I would make myself such a success
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far
I wanted to leave almost every home
I wanted to seek out another city
A foreign thing was being comfortable
In fact I do not know what it feels like
So if you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm tryin to hide out from his words until the glorious weekend
Oh if you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm trying to hide out from the world until the glorious weekend
I never knew that you could be so kind
You took me in like an abandoned something
Brushed my hair sideways, put my hat back on
Over the bump I had from tipping over
Beauty's illusion, truth is blind
One thing I knew was I'd be going somewhere
Not like I would make myself a wild success
I'd travel fast and then I'd run so far
I wanted to leave almost every place
I wanted to seek out another city
One thing I hate is being comfortable
Sitting still breeds stifling feelings
If you see me standing here, then please don't tell my friend
I'm tryin to hide out from his words until the glorious weekend
And if you see me standing there, please don't tell my friend

And Every Yesterday

Did you not get my letter?
'Cause your picture's still hanging on my wall
I catch myself acting foolish
At least I'm glad you're not aware
There is no one to be lost with me
All the leaves tumbling slowly to the ground
But I'd like to change so much
I know it could better
We can't just sit around and talk about the weather
The flowers in my room are now wilted and gone
And every yesterday seems better than next month
I'd like to change so much
Did you not get my letter?
'Cause your picture's still hanging on my wall
I catch myself acting foolish
At least I'm glad you're not aware
There is no one to be lost with you
All the leaves tumbling slowly to the ground
How many times have you flipped over the record on the turntable
I'd like to change so much
I know it could better
We can't just sit around and talk about the weather
The flowers in my room are now wilted and gone
And every yesterday seems better than next month
I'd like to change so much
I know it could better
Remembering the day you offered me your sweater
The flowers in my room are now wilted and gone
And every yesterday seems better than next month

A Little Rivalry (Easy)

Are you embarassed 'cause I caught you dancing in your room?
There's no double standard here
So you can do what you like, you know
I just wish that we could keep the mystery alive
But wishes are little more than fantasy
I helped him out. I found it easy to get along
Now it is just, just him and me
A little rivalry, oh yeah
The first time I met him, I was not wearing my usual garb
And there was tension, but not the kind that I write about
We do it for you 'cause we want you to remember why
And tear apart the reactions and leave the romance behind
Are you embarassed 'cause I caught you dancing in your room?
There's no double standard here
So you can do what you like
I just wish that we could keep the mystery alive
But wishes are little more than fantasy
So I helped him out. I found it easy to get along
Now it was just, just him and me
A little rivalry, ooh yeah
Where I was 16, I was trouble for everyone in sight
And now I'm older, nothing's changed
I've just grown up that's all
We do it for you 'cause we want you to remember why
And tear apart the reactions and leave the romance all behind
We do it for you 'cause we want you to remember why
And tear apart the reaction and leave the romance behind

You woke up today with the sun in your face
Rose out of your bed and drank a coffee
There are things you want, don't know how to get
There are things you can look forward to yet.
There are things. There are...
You made promises that you can't forget
Will they fill you up 'til you pay your debts?
I've got a vision now
Now it's feeling good
Harder to say goodbye than to say 'hello' again
Harder to say goodbye than to say 'hello' again
All the tricks that you've tried
And everytime that you've lied
I promise you, I will forget
All the tricks that you've tried
And everytime that you've lied
I xromise you, I will forget
And say 'hello' again
I'll say 'hello' again

Nikki Never's unmatched songwriting and vocals, in all their bittersweet glory, this time with a bunch of guitars. Somehow both more urgent and more heart-wrenching than Terror Bird's back catalogue.

♠️Woaw... again some good eighties goth dark reminiscence. Dancing drums bring joy to the darkest side. And Darkwave is still alive. Thanks "FoReVeR" 🌹

Oakland's Still Rruins make Tears For Fears-esque melancholic dream pop with a DIY twist, full of texture and moody dynamics.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

New on Grimalkin, this EP from Phantómódel is an irresistible batch of gothy post-punk that is delightfully harrowing.
