I press your letters to my lips
and dream of all you would have said
if you hadn't left us.
Anger rises to my chest, as I imagine
a world where I could still hear your laugh.
Loving you is only sorrow,
a nightmare I can't wake up from.
You haunt my every waking thought.
You rise from the grave each night
as I lie in bed attempting to sleep
to remind me how much I miss a person
I never actually met.
I'd beg you to stay a thousand times.
I'd show you all that could have been.
I'd pull you into the light
and show you it's worth it to live.
I'd show you that you are loved.
Every day, I'd fight for you.
Every night, I'd die for you.
You are the reason for my tears.
The reason for my pain.
I just want you to come back.
That's all I ask.
the only thing i love more than some cleanly produced black metal is when it’s made by righteously angry queer folks. excellent instrumentation, and vocals that sound like they’re coming through a portal from the future, trying to warn us about the coming apocalypse. Mae Shults
This first effort is haunting. The vocals make me feel like I am watching a ritual I should not be, while the blistering riffs feel directed at me in particular. Spectacular. sawtongue
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
