They bring me up to bring me down
I’m stuck in an elevator
They’re waiting ‘til I cut the red wire
Or set myself on fire
[pre-chorus]
Waiting, fading
Worthlessly wanting to be adored
Waiting, fading
But hopefully someday we will all be ignored
[chorus]
I’m knocked for six
I keep on retching
But I’m never sick
Their words cut throat
Made me wish I didn’t exist
When I stare in the mirror I already know
The glass ends-up in my fist
[pre-chorus]
Waiting, fading
Worthlessly wanting to be adored
Waiting, fading
But hopefully someday we will all be ignored
[chorus]
I’m knocked for six
I keep on retching
But I’m never sick
I’ve been beaten-on, walked-upon and bruised for your love
I’ve been picked-up, chewed-up and spat-out
And nobody cared
For once they can’t tell me
The voices are in my head
Kids can be mean
It’s scary to think the jealousy nearly killed me
[chorus]
I’m knocked for six
I keep on retching
But I’m never sick

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
New York duo showcase an enigmatic blend of math rock guitars, pop-punk sing-a-longs, emo confessionals, and even rave-ready synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
