Any Colour You Desire

I’m sick of sticking my tongue in my cheek,
Trying not to spit at your hypocrisy.
Dress it up in any colour you desire, you desire.
I can’t bear to watch you walk away without a fucking smile on your face,
So I stay a while and disintegrate.
Disintegrate with me.
You won’t listen beyond the surface.
Watch it ripple along, destructive.
(Disintegrate with me.
Won’t you disintegrate with me?)
You will never belong to this family; to the ones you love.
I don’t really want to give you a reason yet;
It’s not as if you’ve ever given me a reason to care.
It’s not as easy to forgive the one that left me here for dead.
I’m sick of sticking my tongue in my cheek,

Dress it up in any colour you desire, you desire.
I can’t bear to watch you walk away without a fucking smile on your face,
So I stay a while and disintegrate.
Disintegrate with me.
So, you wanna see this?
Look at what you’ve done.
You’ve gotta see this.
Uncovered all the webs you’ve spun.
You wanna see this?
Look at what you’ve done.
Oh, you’ve gotta see this.
I’ve uncovered all the webs you’ve spun.
You can’t deny that you hang on every word I say.
(We all need someone, we all need someone to stay)
If you wanna meet me halfway I need something,
Anything more than your fake apology.
I don’t really want to give you a reason yet;
It’s not as if you’ve ever given me a reason to care.
It’s not as easy to forgive the one that left me here for dead.
Disintegrate with me.
Won’t you disintegrate with me?
You wanna see this?
Look at what you’ve done.

Its written in the bags under your eyes and written on the lines on the back of your hand
You keep it in, folded up and I don't mind
There is a secret we all share and I do not believe in God but I believe in disrepair
Cause I've seen it, watched it weave
I've watched it weave through it all
And the boys looked at me like I was crazy
I stared through them like they were God - cut the rope and let em fall together
Yeah the boys turn to me for an answer, cause I've seen it
Cause I've seen it
All thats left is the smoking gun
Sing for me, I know you've got it in your lungs
Breathe in, count to four, breathe out, count to ten
Kiss the ground, you're upside down again
And the boys looked at me like I was crazy
I stared through them like they were God - cut the rope and let em fall together
Yeah the boys turn to me for an answer, cause I've seen it
Cause I've seen death, I've seen it
Its written in the bags under your eyes and written on the lines on the back of your hand
You keep it in, folded up and I don't mind, at all

Watching your body twist and tumble
Convulsing on the floor
This chemical possession, is stretching out your jaw
I could get high from the foam on your lips
Let it stick to my brain, like an arachnoid cyst
Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains
So I could be the one left twitching in my grave
Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply
Then fall back into myself
It’s not like I’m any better, I hurt myself every day
Ulcers form in my stomach, light is swelling my brain
Digging until I find a better way
They've constructed me by cruel design
With hands of frailty and callous minds
Keep me stabilised, sedate me
Curse my body intravenously
Spill the venom til my skin goes white
Spill the serum and watch me writhe
Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains
So I could be the one left twitching in my grave
Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply
Then fall back into myself
I wanna sleep until its dark outside

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

You've gone and made a mess upon your neon wired dress again
And I've spent my time drifting in and out of all of this like a spiders web, so elegantly
How could I rectify though not for lack of trying any of the callous move I've ever made?
It seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else, again and again
If only you'd feel the cold-bloodedness through my hands
We could wrestle out of this, we could cut through all the strands of the DNA you left on the sheets
But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else
Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself
I blame myself for this
Do you panic when the wind blows?
Are you scared of your friends?
Is it too late to ask if its all just pretend?
Cause I feel like a stranger inside of this skin
I'll never let anyone, anyone in
Like a leech, i will bond to your side
Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release
But it seems we succumb to ourselves more than anything else
Go ahead and run away so I can go and blame myself
I blame myself for this
And so I'll recede into a new body
Fake a new smile everyday
Try a little harder to decay, slowly
And slowly I'll sing, drive myself into madness
Holding tightly to my faith
Push a little harder, let it drain
Like a leech, i will bond to your side
Soak the liquid from your limbs, and release

This feels so alien, I confess
It's clutching onto me, so hard that I can't breathe
A rush straight through my body, the sinking feeling shooting up from underneath
Wondering what shape your gonna take tonight
But your somewhere in the scape of sound
We'll find a way to subjugate the pain, oh I can feel you in my veins
Please come out from hiding, I've been waiting for you
Disclose who you are
Please come out from hiding, I've been waiting here for you all night, just show yourself
Disclose who you are
Good god, I can taste the sulfur inside your hell
What will you whisper to me to tear me apart?
Promise me you'll play tricks this time, you know that's what I like
And now I've lost my mind
I've heard your voice inside me too many times, I've tried
I've tried keeping my distance
Continued faking indifference
But I can't stand to be untethered from your presence for too long
This feels so alien I confess
It's clutching onto me so hard that I can't breathe
This feels so alien, it's clutching onto me so hard that I can't breathe
What will you whisper to me to tear me apart?
Promise me you'll play tricks this time, you know that's what I like
And now I've lost my mind
I've heard your voice inside me too many times, I've tried

On this pummeling new LP, the Austin group blend up screamo, black metal, and noise rock into heady, urgent music.

Coup De Gráce
by SeeYouSpaceCowboy...
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries.

This album is easily a TAB (they’re all bangers). every song just goes so hard and some of my favorite lyrics, especially in nocturne: lost faith. The guitar is phenomenal like usual and the drums are amazing. Probably my second favorite album of all time (first is mothership by dgd).
