Underwater

When I was a little kid
I dreamt that I was just a paper doll they ripped apart
Raw tomato, my heart
I’ve come to see you light
Longing to paint you black
Dim down the moonlit skies
Hoping for an off chance
Stuck on the inside
Better not to read my mind
Sinking and drown in piss
But I promise I’m fine
I would be lying if I said I’d mind
I would be lying if I said I’d mind
Underwater
I would be lying if I said I’d mind
I would be lying if I said I’d mind
Underwater
I’ve got nothing left
I wade into tides
This is no fight

Eyes Closed

In the corner of the light
Against my will, against the time
The dream is painting weathered skies
With plastic bags and rubber ties
Your hair is growing in my mind
Scalp starts spinning, itching
Blood is dripping into my heart high
And spreading mud throughout my spine
But when your face comes close to mine
I’ll keep my eyes closed the whole time
Yeah, I have died, turned out the light
Right now this moment saves my life
When your hands went wild
It’s so hard to take a chance
But even worse to play pretend
And you lay your atoms where you stand
It’s simple science to a chemist
When your face comes close to mine
I’ll keep my eyes closed the whole time
‘Cause I have died and lost my fight
Right now that moment saves my life
When your face comes close to mine
I’ll keep my eyes closed the whole time
‘Cause I have died and said goodbye
Right now this moment saves my life
When your hands went wild
When your face comes close to mine
I’ll keep my eyes closed the whole time
‘Cause I have died and lost my fight
Right now this moment saves my life
And when your face comes close to mine
I’ll keep my eyes closed the whole time
‘Cause I have died and said goodbye
Right now this moment saves my life

The Comeback

You came to me
Like a dream in my head
And you stuck with me
Like a dream in my head
Don’t you know
What you’re wanted to say
Don’t you know
That you’re wanted to stay
Don’t you know
What that you’re wanted to stay
Don’t you know
What you’re wanted to say
You came to me
Like a dream in my head
And you stuck with me
Like a dream in my head
Don’t you know
What you’re wanted to say
Don’t you know
That you’re wanted to stay
Don’t you know
That you’re wanted to stay
Don’t you know
What you’re wanted to say
Come to me
and tell me

Wide eyes
Flying towards the bright light
I’d trade you for a dark time
I like it better in the night
Buzzing and the wind blows
Tapping on my window
Chasing my shadow
It draws you like the pillow
Promise me you will be
A fly on my wall
In another life
Giving me company
Watching all
Spying on my intentions
‘Cause you know what I’m from
La la la
I feel it coming back to me
La la la, la la la
I feel it coming back to me
Wide eyes
Overlooked and chastised
Sneak up on my backside
I like it better where you hide
Buzzing near my earlobe
Creeping by my tailbone
Chasing my pheromones
They draw you like the willow
Promise me you will be
A fly on my wall
In another life
Giving me company
Watching all
Spying on my intentions
‘Cause you know what I’m from
La la la
I feel it coming back to me
La la la, la la la
I feel it coming back to me
Lite wind, blow in my
I’ve been stuck inside
Lite wind, blow in my
I’ve been stuck inside
Lite wind, blow in my
I’ve been stuck inside
Lite wind, blow in my eye
Wide eyed
I feel you got a good side
I like it better in the night
But don’t touch me

Sentiment

I was alone
And you were my eyes
26 months later
10 meter look back
Time did pass
So did pantomimes
Creased an origami fold maybe twice
But maybe I’ll end up
With you by my side
Running faster into
The luster of light
Maybe I’ll end up
With you by my side
Running faster faster faster
I’m alive
You could sit back
And wait your turn
For a moment like this
To come and go
Times not on our side
Don’t you know
From the 10 plus years
Of this ebb and flow so
Maybe I’ll end up
With you by my side
Running faster into
The luster of light
Maybe I’ll end up
With you by my side
Running faster faster faster
I’m alive
You got a mind
Now lock it up
Tell no one your sentiment now
Block those eyes and
Keep them shut
No one sees their fate
With the lights out
Tape your mouth
Stuffed full of socks
Worth much less
When muted and quite
Plug your ears
It’s way too much
Tell no one your sentiment now
I’ll find now ways to run

Ghost

I sent my ghost
To let you know
That you’re not alone
As they spit
On your coccyx
They won’t, won’t stop it
So I sit on the floor
You color me in
Use your imagination
But keep it in your pants
Oh it wasn’t me
I swear it wasn’t me
Can you stop it
Can you stop it
You’re in my throat
You stop the words
I wanna explode
‘Cause I know
The freakish mind
I’m by your side
Can you stop it
Can you stop it

Nyxy Nyx - Thee 3rd Album
by Nyxy Nyx
The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies.

There is a good reason why this record is entitled "Collider" - wonderfully churned and hypnotic drum and vocal patterns, bubbling bass and shattering, crystalline guitars make for quite an acidically addictive concoction...
