about

This is about technology mediating our interactions and the desperate, anxious loneliness of the semi-connected world of the mid 00s, specifically as it pertained to romance.

lyrics

We must dance to beat of the moon
Old black sunlight cascades all night
[ex]tend your finger, this is your ring
It's a promise for our lives

you help me, you love me: my past is broken
you mean it, we've meant it (touch the cold air)
and now we're together.
These interactions, it's sick but they are all made by machines

For many years now, I've been between the things I loved.
The eye in which you're beautiful, a smile to modify the world

Breeze...

When you left my hand I broke down
Your grip kept me from that dark place
You're the flashlight in my dungeon
You bring those thing's my life's missing

The falcons come and eat me, taking my organs
They pity me so they make this whole thing go fast

Cuddle, hold hands, kiss me, fuck me
These words have just lost all meaning
I once had you, now I've lost you
Typical end to my story
