jesus said turn the other cheek
but he isn’t here right now…
nomi was tired of feeling weak
so she bopped him on the head like a field mouse
nomi did you know
nomi did you know
you got a little blood on your nice clothes?
nomi did you know
everywhere you go
people wanna fight (fight)
fight? (fight)
and when it all comes tumbling down
i’ll summon all the strength i’ve found
singing…
nomi
you would take your life into your own hands
on the red line train
and nomi
you could hold your own
in front of any man
and get us all kicked out of dave’s
you will keep yourself alive
with your head held high
singing
“death to all my enemies
and anyone who looks the wrong way at me!
death to all my enemies
and anyone who looks the wrong way at me!”
nomi had a friend named joni guitar
who was sitting at the end of the dive bar
she was cutting up spiro
that she got on the deep web
it was her own little secret
she said
“nomi did you know,
nomi did you know
nomi did you know that i love you?
nomi did you know
everywhere you go
people wanna fight (fight)
fight? (fight)"
and when it all gets out of phase
i can see it in your face
singing…
nomi
you would take your life into your own hands

death to all my enemies
and anyone who looks the wrong way at me!”
nomi
the pressure’s on
you put it on yourself
you’re nomi the defender of all women
nomi the defender of all women
nomi
you would take your life into your own hands
on the red line train
and nomi
you could hold your own
in front of any man
and get us all kicked out of dave’s
you will keep yourself alive
with your head held high
you will keep yourself alive
with your head held high
I will keep myself alive
my nomi girl
she held her breath, thought catalyzed the panic
incandescent death hiding just beneath the epidermis
"oh not again," she thought - she'd told them she was just like them
and for a decade, she was
there is a desperation in the irises of her eyes
the marks from all the years that terror kept her whole
she learns the movements and she doesn't bat an eye when they break
all her brittle bones anymore
THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO BE
obscure the fractured self with practiced legitimacy
WHEN IT KILLS ME
i won't mind; there will be no difference on the inside
she got away, too burnt to feel the damage
months into days, and the fear she felt at those around her
never the same, she thought - empathy blurred into something more than she could take
so she ran
there is a desperation in the irises of her eyes
the marks from all the years that terror kept her whole
she learns the movements and she doesn't bat an eye when they break
all her brittle bones anymore
THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO BE
mutilate the soul under the lie of cold necessity
WHEN IT KILLS ME
i won't mind; there will be no difference on the inside
it hasn't changed, the terror hasn't gone away
but when she's safe for a moment, she knows
she peels away a tiny piece of all the noise she's built up to survive
and it's so...
THIS IS ALL I WANT TO BE
lost between the years, the static swallowed all belief in safety
I CAN'T TELL
if i'm alive
but something feels different on the inside
every time you notice me
my heart
my heart
flutters all so suddenly cuz you influence me to make my art
spent all my money on supplies and now i’m broke
i hope this sells so i can finally make some dough
i could paint a rainbow with 420 colors
find the deepest red and turn it purple with some blue
but if i can’t find someone to hug under the covers
then i’ll be a lonelygirl42
baby i’m so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
getting all my hopes up when i log into the room
now i’m my bedroom taking photographs of myself
let me be your lonelygirl
lonelygirl
lonelygirl42
every time i think about my job
my job
get a little dizzy and collapse onto my mattress on the floor
would this be easier if my love lived with me
or would i curse and cry the day we disagree?
i could paint a rainbow with 420 colors
find the deepest red and turn it purple with some blue
but if i can’t find someone to hug under the covers
then i’ll be a lonelygirl42
baby i’m so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
getting all my hopes up when i log into the room
now i’m my bedroom taking photographs of myself
let me be your lonelygirl
lonelygirl
lonelygirl42
they say an artist has the loneliest path
cuz we thrive in our solitude
but even if i’m staying in tonight
in my heart i’m going out with you
i could paint a rainbow with 420 colors
find the deepest red and turn it purple with some blue
but if i can’t find someone to hug under the covers
then i’ll be a lonelygirl42
baby i’m so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
getting all my hopes up when i log into the room
now i’m my bedroom taking photographs of myself
let me be your lonelygirl
lonelygirl
lonelygirl42
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so scared of being lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so scared of being lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so scared of being lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so scared of being lonely

there was a figure
beside my bed at night
i focused my eyes
and it didn't go away
there was a hole in me
i was just a child
i didn't know why everything
made me so afraid
(HEAVEN)
my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
...
but if it all lines up
i’ll see you on the other side
(rook)
i feel the cracks in my agency
as i fall back through the years
and i am erased
there is nothing deep inside my soul
but i dream of being whole
the premonition of my evil thoughts
shines brighter than my dreams
i can't look away
there is nothing in my soul
but i dream of being whole
and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i was lost somewhere
without assistance
without an exit
i
covered what i saw
with the expectations
of people i was not
glass forming in my stare
i didn't know how i could
have a sense of who i was
the distance grew every day
and i didn't care
(HEAVEN)
my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

and i am erased
there is nothing deep inside my soul
but i dream of being whole
the premonition of my evil thoughts
shines brighter than my dreams
i can't look away
there is nothing in my soul
but i dream of being whole
the glass in front of my eyes
covers everything
and i can't break it away
the glass in front of my eyes
covers everything
and i can't break it away
and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i am lost somewhere
without assistance
without an exit
(HEAVEN)
my stomach in a knot

now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
(rook)
and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i am lost behind
crystalline distance
(HEAVEN)
my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
church mouse in the pipes

now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

i wish things could be so bright
but there's only deadened light
i can't see anything
through the glass that covers my life
i wish things could be so bright
but there's only deadened light
i can't see anything
through the glass that covers my life

If you're dealing with some major damage, boy do I have the album for you.
I've been listening to it nonstop in the short time that I've known about it. It's painfully sincere, painfully relatable, and the vocal performances are absolutely hypnotic.

I have been listening to this album since the first half of 2022, and it is my favorite album ever. I never had words to describe how much I love this album. I could listen to it forever. Please, never stop making music. Your band and music mean so much to me. I love Black Dresses. rayreat
Composer Joe Acheson's "imagined orchestra" creates highly detailed soundscapes replete with sounds both organic and synthesized. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2023
Childlike yet uncanny, the Warsaw composer's seven-track suite draws connections between modern classical and experimental jazz. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2023
The one and only release from Maryland duo Circus Underwater is a Rosetta Stone for ambient music, dub techno, electronica and beyond. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 19, 2023

The content is mostly heavy as ever but the tracks are all catchy as hell and there's some pretty pleasant lo-fi/chiptune/pop-punk elements. This is the Black Dresses album you show your friends when you get the aux, if you're a coward. rykemasters
