You cause me grief you cause me grief
& when you’re sweet & when you’re sweet
You just get stuck between my teeth
& the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief
You cause me grief you cause me grief you cause me grief
But when you’re sweet oh when you’re sweet
I want so much to believe
I fool myself but I can see
In the mountains there you feel free
But not with me
But not with me but not with me
Not the with power that I wield
I am the spear I am the shield
She smoothed her hair with automatic hands
I wash it clean
What’s it like to have this function
What’s it like to have control
Free of all infatuation
To never feel this heavy toll
Loved seeing Cryptid Summer open for Messa at Comet Ping Pong! Had no idea we had a delectable gothy post punk band in our local cards. I loved the driving drums, the mournful, yearning, and yet biting-twangy guitars, the embittered vocals; all staples of excellent sad post punk. But above all, I really dug the highly active, colorful, and melodic bass lines; they really had my head bopping the whole time. Hey from Arlington and I hope to see you all again soon! pinkytheent
