qrthi So gothic it's gaudy (or possibly vice versa), but with really sanguine effect. All interesting tracks, but I think "Black Tuesday" is the only one that successfully unifies the contrast with sufficient sweetness. I think it's the glossy timbre of the synths in "Black Tuesday" that evokes If you're an Angel. You definitely could have snuck in some Vocaloid in there for the better, and I don't think anyone would have raised an eyebrow, kind of like that old project I honestly still adore.
Favorite track: Black Tuesday.

Alice 02:51
It's only natural I love you so much it's only natural my heart simply jumps it's only natural I'd join the sky down to the Earth so that heaven knows why so I'll punch the wretched world in it's fucking throat snuff out all evil in all corners of the Earth so that you can live a life of perfect peace I'll bring the world to it's knees I want to give you all that you should have a heart that is free and two lungs full of breath in your cocoon of dreams passing the days always keep safe in mysterious ways so I'll punch the wretched world in it's fucking throat snuff out all evil in all corners of the Earth so that you can live a life a perfect peace I'll bring the world to it's knees so I'll kick the chair on every blackened heart I will carry every burden on my soul so that you can live a life of perfect peace I'll show you what you mean to me

Summer Kills 02:45
all those summers back, i had regretted much, i regretted often yea all those summer back, i didn't really know what to do with myself but in the summer heat, i believed that there was more than suffering in the summer heat, i promised that i would someday rule the world so how about going out and doing something yea? doing anything to get my mind off, off of the constant fear, of the constant panic and maybe if we do we can plead for a blissful ignorance often sick to death with ennui and with a crippling sense of dread i said by 25, i said by 30 i'd rather be dead than not achieve a thing i didn't want to fail, i didn't want to face all my fears and suffocating anxieties all those summers back, i was haunted by a ghost of my own making all those summers ago, i wished to be something, just to feel anything yea in the summer heat, i believed that i could really be something yea in the summer heat, i saw a dream of a world in which i could be fine

We hold these things to be true: "we are going to be screwed" Not till all of their heads are rolling in the streets will we be safe, hide your kids away how the fuck do we eat if we need guillotines? Robespierre was not a saint don't mean that I can't pray Oh cowards, liches of the Earth Sacks of shit in cloaks of skin Not till all of their heads are rolling in the streets will we be safe, hide your kids away how the fuck do we eat if we need guillotines? Robespierre was not a saint don't mean that I can't pray

Better Death 03:07
Sing it, oh sing it out loud and fill the room up Up with yourself, and with your hopes and your dreams, and all your fears So even when that day should come so even when that day does come you can find your peace in having been a little sun and even if I fail myself yea even if I fail myself I won't go away I will be the songs that you hum Sing it, oh sing it out loud and fill the room up Up with yourself, there's no yesterday no tomorrow, only right now [chorus]

no matter how not in control of my life i ever am i can ease it, i can freeze it, i can give it a raincheck if it feels good it it works fast i will put it in my blood if it hurts me if it's nursing if it's dopamine (it's love) no matter how much you hurt me i can always push it back but what's good today is weak tomorrow and that's how it is until the end if it feels good it it works fast i will put it in my blood if it hurts me if it's nursing if it's dopamine (it's love) if it kills me if it saves me if it just does anything if it hurts me if it's nursing if it's dopamine (it's love)

Wane Poetic 02:21
Oh in the heart there there is a hunger a creeping dread that loneliness might be forever and there exist those who prey upon that can you really call it lucky if you survive? Oh, the fire dies slow but it's still there I try and I try but I can still see the glare When will it go? and render me blind show me the day is borne out of the night I've been trying to forget about you it's hard work but i think it's finally happening And I'm aware that this contradicts that but this is the last song that you're ever getting [chorus] Oh woe was me the first time I saw those sleepy eyes that sarcastic sneer In all of my days the word fear had no weight then you appeared

Life is learning to dance on a knife's edge, baby life is learning to walk on a goddamn tight rope, baby Yea every single fucking day it eats away yea every single fucking day I'm not tryin' to be neurotic, promise I'm not tryin' to set fire to all my friendships, promise It's just every single fucking day it eats away yea every single goddamn day Yea every single fucking day it eats away yea every single fucking day Time goes and with people will pass away, all of the time too true, but why does it have to be the people I know the best?

Alice, Pt. 2 03:07
one day a beam of light will pierce the sky and it will scatter you unto this place my silver lining in my tapestry always kept safe and sound waiting for me so i'll carry my heart through this wretched world fend off all evil and die upon my hill for to see you live your life in perfect peace no greater happiness for me i want to give you all that you should have a heart full of gold and two wings on your back in your cocoon of dreams cherish the days always keep safe in mysterious ways so i'll carry my heart through this wretched world fend off all evil and die upon my hill for to see you live your life in perfect peace no greater happiness for me so i'll carry your heart through this wretched world scour all the oceans until i find your pearl and when i do, then ill bask in perfect peace that's how much you mean to me
