I look at you and i can't see inside
I send a message from my Black Box
But you don't like it
You don't like what you hear
In the absence of the facts
I look at you and i can't see inside
We each believe what serves us best
Its not a question of intent
Its a question of your heart
And i want out
I reach for you and i cannot touch
We each recoil from the Other touch
A nervous laugh
A non-aggression pact
A hopeful sound from the Black Box
But i want out
In between is contested space
What i feel is a spit in your face
Eyes straight ahead on the train
We couldn't think of another way
And i want out

The Myth of Sex
04:30
|
|||
|
The first time
I touched your body
I disappeared
It was the first thing
I ever felt
That's how we wrote
The myth of sex
Tastes like sugar, feels like love
Now i can smell your past
Like a dog
Smells blood
It was the first thing
I ever felt
Thats how we wrote
The myth of sex
Tastes like sugar, feels like love
Please touch me
There's something wrong with me

Hungry Years
04:03

|
These are the hungry years
Where things conclude not going as planned
And these are the suicide years
Where we discover who will pull the trigger
You made your bed
These are the lonely years
The world collapses to this room
And you can live alone
And you can die alone, in this room
You made your bed

Sweet Child
04:44
|

|
You can cry and cry
Let your guts drag across the floor
You can wait to die
Lying under the porch
Like any other animal
We laughed at the funny noise
So why?
Why should you be sad?
Little angel, why should anyone be sad?
Did you really believe your pain was real?
Did you really believe that god could hear?
My sweet child
Take a walk down any street
Look into any ruined face
All that they understand is pain
It's so easy-you could be like them
You're just a kiss away
So why? Why should you be sad?
Little angel, why should anyone be sad?
My sweet child
Sweet child, my sweet child
You are your mother's only child
Do you begin to see what's waiting for you?

Sister

Sister-do you remember?
How we found our voice together?
Sister, where are you taking me?
Will you ever see me again?
Sister, you told me
there are places we must go that noone can follow.
But i waited by the door.
You don't need me anymore.
Love, love is the cheapest thing
Sister, i would sing you a song
About how our time will come
but there is no "us"
Maybe there never was
And i needed you so bad, in my famine years
I dreamed of home. I awoke
To find we are at war.
We have always been at war
And love is the cheapest thing
Sister, come out from behind your hand
So i can sleep
Sister, i wish that i'd not sold myself so cheap

Fan Letter

You touch something inside of me.
When i'm afraid, i can call you up
And you'll take it away
You look into my eyes
You give me everything
My heart can't bear to wait
Please smile
Make me feel safe
My true faith
My pornographic heart can't bear to wait
My pornographic heart lives in fear
I consume your flesh
Again, again, again
But you are always there
Help me
Eliminate the world
Let's pretend you're here
Let's pretend you're true
Let's pretend you care
My true faith
My pornographic heart can't bear to wait
My pornographic heart lives in fear
Reduced to meat
Pick up the baby that cries for relief
Make me believe
Take it away
You touch something inside me
And i just want to thank you
For the roles that you play

Song for the Moon
04:43
|
|||
|
This is a song for the moon
Is innocence such a sad thing to lose?
And now i know why
The moon
Is just a hole in the sky
I used to believe
That there was something up there for me
Now i know
Make-believe is for when you have no control
And now i know why
The moon
Is just a hole in the sky

Dance to Forget
03:58
|
|||
|
In another place
In another time
Someone danced to forget
Their life was like mine
And my White heart
Cannot be free
Of the need to reach you
And we can dance
How can we dance
When there's so much we can't forget?
But the truth is, you and I
Have never met
And we can dance

Dead Stars
05:49
|

|
In the Heaven inside me
Every one of us is a star
And when the dull star of my mind goes out,
you'll go too
as if you never were
And the world turns
Every man and woman is a star
The streets we used to walk
The world is only concrete, deaf and dumb
But in the lightning of my mind
It is our kingdom
And the world turns
In the trash on the floor
I found her letters never sent
All that was left of your life
In the trash on the floor
That's all we ever meant
And on the night you died, i heard the train go by
The sound of all we'll never be
And for a moment i let myself pretend
I knew why
You would say no to life
And the world turns
Every man and woman is a star

Citizen

I will change the world
Like a clock's hands change the time
I will do as mommy and daddy said
But i dreamed that i could be a Citizen
I dreamed that i could build a home
'That i could teach a child to be strong
I dreamed that we were in this together
Deep in my heart there is a lie
And it's time to say goodbye
I saw belief lead to history's crimes
I saw doubt, like fire, leave nothing behind
I tried to make believe
I will change the world
Like a clock's hands change the time
I will do as mommy and daddy said
But i dreamed that i could be a Citizen
Deep in my heart there is a lie
And it's time to say goodbye

You and I Will Never Die
by KANGA
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Identified Patient”
1st listen: the record bangs hard, banger after banger. If you're into bangers you should totally bang this one!

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Identified Patient”
The music and vocals create a mood that is precisely my cup of tea. The sound of the MS-20 throughout this EP is the cherry on top. I’m always on the hunt for new bands that use it extensively, and I don’t think it gets any better than this. It’s difficult to choose a favorite track.
go to album
Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.

THOUSANDNEEDLES
by Bestial Mouths
A stellar cast of artists put their own shadowy spins on recent Bestial Mouths material—toward the goth club floor or into pure noise.

Other World
by Madeline Goldstein
Madeline Goldstein's fusion of cinematic dream pop and darkwave manages to sound both nostalgic and contemporary.

An Indigo Pool
by Future Floods
Lo-fi bedroom electropop that surrounds pleading vocal melodies with bubbling synths.

Deliciously bleak synthwave from Germany with jagged, sawing lead lines, throbbing rhythms, & ghostly vocals.
