So sick of feelin like my actions aren't my own.
If I go out and see my friends, will you be mad when I get home?
I feel your grip so tight around me; hear your anger when you speak.
If you refuse to help yourself, how can you take this out on me?
So here's to you and second chances that you never earned.
Manipulator: you won't control me anymore.
You were a grave mistake - a waste of time and effort, now I've had it.
I have so much to give and you're so undeserving.
Now it's your turn to listen and watch as I walk away.
I should've known when you first called me 'goddess' you were idolizing me to your self-destruction.
Thrust the stakes of your loneliness into my back.
All the while, believing you were justified.
But how was I supposed to feel safe - pushed out of the place I made?
Tried to exist as separate pieces.
We always were, but you never wanted to be.
I hate your face.
The way you speak; the way you take things out on me,
and how you're always there to push me to ground when I am weak.
I want you packed loaded up, want you a million miles away.
I hope that they have speakers there cuz I want you to hear me say...
No, I never needed you.
The London band's new album is a vibrant postcard from southern Italy, boosted by brass, strings, and pizzica percussion from local players. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 14, 2024
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
