DAYDREAM

collapse the fear into something i can hold
and place beside me, and turn away from
there is a crackle of ozone in the air
damaged components
distance
STATIC
CONSTANT DECAY
SPLIT
FAR AWAY
somewhere, there's a space where this is just a daydream
i don't want to go there alone anymore
my vision peels away from reference and time
the corners of this space are bent and bright
i've never known the lucidity to stay with me
i can't break through
STATIC
CONSTANT DECAY
SPLIT
FAR AWAY
somewhere, there's a space where this is just a daydream
i don't want to go there alone anymore
tethered, reeling out, reality feels so distant
i can't hold on to anything
but you're here with me
somewhere, there's a space where this is just a daydream
i don't want to go there alone anymore
tethered, reeling out, reality feels so distant
i can't hold on to anything
but you're here with me.

wires, blood, conductive
live enough to function
the warmth of the light in this moment
over-exposed, iridescent
TEAR ALL THE SKIN AWAY
PULL ALL THE STATIC OUT
WRAP US IN LAMBENT NOISE
I WANNA FEEL THIS MOMENT FLOWING UP MY THROAT
reflective chrome through the patchwork
bizmuth nails dig
as close to whole as we can get
saturated soul convulsing
child, crone, survival
death
TEAR ALL THE SKIN AWAY
PULL ALL THE STATIC OUT
WRAP US IN LAMBENT NOISE
I WANNA FEEL THIS MOMENT FLOWING UP MY THROAT
too much input
just how i want it
torn to fragments
with you ♡

NOT COMING BACK
04:51

i know a place beyond the lines of this world
a different light falls on the fragments of your mind
the light hit the mountain
door is open and deep inside
the hand of a demon
plays with my mind
i step into the warmth and i'm not coming back
that place will take me and destroy all that i am
the vigilance and anxiety collapse
silhouette of my body into sand
i cannot feel the dread of memory when i'm there
barely real
the lightest touch through my hair
a home for the vespers
a place where we both can hide
we’ll stay here forever
now that it’s mine
i step into the warmth and i'm not coming back
that place will take me and destroy all that i am
the vigilance and anxiety collapse
silhouette of my body into sand
(i don't understand the cruel light of this place...)
i step into the warmth and i'm not coming back
that place will take me and destroy all that i am
the vigilance and anxiety collapse
silhouette of my body into sand

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 ✰

GOODBYE HORSES

you told me, i see you rise
but it always falls
i see them come, i see them go
you said "all things pass into the night"
and i say "oh no sir, I must say you're wrong
i must disagree, oh no sir, i must say you're wrong"
won't you listen to me
you told me, i've seen it all before
i've been there, i've seen my hopes and dreams lying on the ground
i've seen the sky just begin to fall
and you said, "all things pass into the night"
and i say, "oh no sir, i must say you're wrong
i must disagree, oh no sir, i must say you're wrong"
won't you listen to me
won't you listen to me
goodbye horses
I'm flying over you.

LOVER'S LANE

i ran with the leaves paving the ground
blood slick on my hands, and only the sound
of hurried feet and rustling trees
closing in around me
you get what you want
it's coming to you
get what you want
you get what you want
it's coming to you
get what you want
soon
you brought me around to your side
smile like radiant sun, and eyes like ice
look for me to become a candid date
for your special games
you get what you want
it's coming to you
get what you want
you get what you want
it's coming to you
get what you want
soon
out here, just you and i
you make your move, and my reply
ice shatters in fading eyes
a total surprise
a total surprise

sleep and dissolve into forgetting
hold all the pieces carefully apart
there isn't anything outside the terror
there is no comfort in the morning air
i'm safe here, i know
but i can't make the feeling go
there is a capsule deep inside that's breaking
in the clear lucidity, a cloud of red
hold the pressure needed to contain it
the overwhelming dullness of dread
there is a feeling like i don't belong here
that's followed me as long as i can tell
i had a dream i left this place forever
relief consuming me as i fell.

NATURE GIRL

the voltage in my blood and in my skin
crackles and erodes clouded reticence
the pressure in my skull makes it hard to think
but i won't let tonight become where i've been
if i could keep my memories
away from the dread and anxiety
(who would i be?)
i want to live, i want to feel
i'm tired of feeling unreal
(i'm more than this)
i want to stay, but i'm afraid
i don't want the safety to go away
(but anyway)
i am alive
i'm here tonight
the movement in my chest, i can't explain
a frequency like death without any pain
my skin is held intact by the lightest wind
is this what it's like to be alive again?
if i could stay a certain way, if i could feel every day
(i'd fall apart)
if i could have a different life, could i look myself in the eye?
(would i know why?)
i want to stay, but i'm afraid
i don't want the safety to go away
(but anyway)
i close my eyes
and dream of light.

and after everything, i know why i was scared to death
it's still inside me now, but i know its name
and it doesn't have to be the only thing in my head
i guess i'm pretty fucked up, i guess i'm pretty far gone
i feel scared and weak
but you're here with me~
someday, together
we'll shine
and when i sleep
i still dream that the fear and pain will be there forever
but i hold on to this quiet fantasy
and someday soon we'll be together
someday, together
we'll shine
someday...

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.

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. out-fucking-standing

Peaceful as Hell
by Black Dresses
supported by 302 fans who also own “SUPEREGO ROYAL JELLY”
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.
