you want
live forever
or at least as long
as anyone remembers
but that's rapidly passing
lifes just TV and dinners and kicking and screaming
rule breaking and dad makes you tired
broke your nose in the deep end
your class mates all laughed
your whole walk home to dinner
they stole our lunches and wrote in margins
of books that they’ll never love you
and they never found a body
so i know that when so you ran away
you went all the places you promised we’d go
but you never came home for dinner

i watched a movie for half an hour
i got bored so i didn’t finish
if u come over
we’ll make snowflakes with plates
im 25 and I’m still pretty
I’m feeling weird but not to crowded
im in limbo
im stuck in a weirdo party
trees decay but i like the smell
never learned english real well
but i didn’t either
learn any others i guess
carry me all night I’m tired
say ill be alright, ill make it
i don’t wanna
sit around and freeze
heard some songs bout ghosts to show you
i don’t think that it will haunt you
ill say sorry
in advanced if it does

Dry air helps my brain shut off
in the winter or the autumn fall
spent the day on the bus
i still call you angel
The dog ran to the lakefront
can’t afford a new one
We both fell from pine trees and never woke up
The obituaries and family letters say they died doing what they loved, climbing branches, and eating fences
guess I’m sorry, hope you’ll miss me in the morning
i feel the same way about those old movies as our apartment
theres a new type of beauty called game boy lights hidden under pillows
you’re still on business
selling souls and trail mix
feels like a series wrap on a made for tv movie
same shit we’ve heard before
its hard to believe you’re gone i’m not
i get you’re emails weekly or something
life like lullabies skipping town at 25 cause everything’s in motion and everyone is hoping
we’re blessed
we’re blessed

i describe life with moving pictures
on the road from home to boston
and spend my time in headphone splitters
and LED Bulbs pouring out glitter
it’d be fun to flunk out college
we’ll go down as dimwit heroes
and robbing graves. "the worlds most haunted"
if we back down now they’ll fuck us up rotten
so i’ll wish you all the best
when winter makes you blue
cause whenever it snows all i think about is you
you love the rain
and you love the sun
everyone’s seen and everyone’s sighing
everyone’s the best and everyone’s dying
if the world still spins in quick rotations
the world still goes through all the motions
i wonder if you still feel lonely
if your mind still sets itself completely
i wonder why i still get so anxious
i’ll dye my hair and run till heaven
time still heals
and life still pulls
and life still moves like collages i love it
i’ll count down the days
i’ll skip town someday
life like moving pictures and bigger screens
and strange weather and death scenes
we’ll throw our phones into the ocean blue
we’ll change our names to something
cool and i’ll write songs before i die and they’ll keep me alive
you’re playing too rough you’re still in a rush
i’ll grow up be something cool i’ll turn empty into water
we’ll snorkel through the stars till we get lost
till we get lost and never found
exactly how we wanted exactly
where we’d love to end it
"one day i’ll be like all the others
time comes for us all
but ideas remain"
...and so will we

i don’t think I’ve ever seen scorpio in the sky
that tree don’t belong there thats why i lost that game of i spy
but Im 19 and Im still shy
and I’m feeling busy and this citys
got its share of malcontents they’ll flush some spiders and kick flip the mayors car
I’m too young for that anyways
i can’t count the way i felt today
i don’t think I’ve ever been to anything on ice
you’ve got a lot on your plate, its okay its alright
but I’m 25 and I’m still pretty
and i love that line because I’m actually pretty
like frogs and toads dancing in the mud or like a hundred cicadas singing at once
I’m too young for that anywys
everyones just tryna skip town these days
I’m too young for that anywys
everyones just tryna skip town these days
and I’m too old for this i think
i can’t count the way i felt today

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 30 fans who also own “S/T”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
