lyrics
my eyelids float
between two states
on the borderline
flows a slow intake
they don't let much in
i don't let much out
just a broken bulb
flickering with doubt
yeah it happens all the time
misery loves me
but i don't love her
it's a one way street
circling planet earth
if i take a right
maybe i'll outrun
to the great unknown
goes the great no one
yeah it happens all the time
wanna move, i do
trying to get this right
but i'm losing the appetite
it's not the way i'd choose
always caught in between
the ache and the apathy
if there is a record
for most hours wasted
least worthy reason
to cry on a thursday evening
i'm in the lead
staring up at the stars at night
i know their light is so behind the times
the more i live in the world i find
seclusion's pleasing is an illusion

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
LIPS make off-kilter, danceable music that's a little bit post-punk, a little bit pop, and a little bit alternative rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 22, 2021
