MELISSA'S UNDERWORLD

Degrading my ways, I don't know where to turn
She plays the toy guitar, ever so gently
She strums another chord, the colours seem to reel
I stand beside the cage and glance into the mirror
-
The mirror reveals: exactly what will be told
I see a flash of blinding white, whilst everything is vaporized
I can't help but scream, but I'm fascinated by the glow
The world seems so surreal, inside her underworld
-
The cornea defecting the grey
With eyes of cobalt blue
Her hair the colour of corn
a new warning another dawn
Lifeless and listless upon, our run
All these, gentle gauntlet blockades
-
The skies form a mediocre red
And alibi storms are in my head
Hypocrisy is determined to undermine
Generosity, greed is ripe
Life is such a haze, living inside this heartless cage
-
Deflecting the means as they shadow over shadow
Stolen her means, to see into the world
Stolen her dreams & crushed them underfoot
It's personally deliberate our own other-world
-
Grey hearts and thoughts gold mine I see the world in black too

Uncomfortable songs about life
by Bending Shapes

It's somewhere between Björk's industrial-est stuff, and Tori Amos's late 90s downtempo-ness, with an unhealthy dose of ambient folk and fantastic lyrics. More please!

They may be named for a “Twin Peaks” villain, but there’s nothing menacing about Wyndham Earl’s rich and stirring psych soundscapes.
