I don't wanna feel your skin, I don't deserve your taste
Oh and I can't wait to stay inside and feel my body waste away
The ceilings falling and my eyes cave in
Nobody's listening and I can't tell my blood from the nitroglycerin
I find it sobering to be defiled so easily
I know I should feel pain, but it's eluding me
If you'd stop for a moment to watch my skin peel out
Then I promise you will get your wish
You're gonna see me open up
But all the wires and the circuits could entangle us
in a fabricated love
I don't have the will to love you anymore
This selfish solemn vow I swore takes hold
Why do you say that you care when you aren't listening?
Why aren't you listening?
I know it's all for show
This skin, these muscles and the way they grow
I find it sobering to be defiled so easily
There is a part of me that crystallized inside of your gaze
I don't wanna feel your skin
I don't deserve your taste
My eyes, they fixate on the sky and it's electric grace
And it changes me
But this is written inside of my genetic code
I can't erase the segments that have made me cold
They've made me cold

The whole album is pure gold! Sometimes I just sit down and listen to the whole album and do nothing else. Awesome rhythms, riffs and Courtney's golden voice! <3 Pazi
Nearly a decade after their last LP, the Chicago post-metal trio resurface with a punishing concept album set in an apocalyptic wasteland. Bandcamp New & Notable May 5, 2024
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic. porcelainheart-
