lyrics
AWAKE // SEDATE
if i thought there was a chance
to try this all again
could i find out who i was
before I lost my innocence?
it’s getting harder every day
to stay present and awake
staring at the past
lost in thoughts not meant to last
i lie in bed awake
thoughts still racing through my head
it feels like i’m always awake
i need more sedatives
we might not prevail, but somehow we adapt
waking up in time to watch the world collapse
you’re all that i can see
you’re all that i can breathe
now please quiet down the world
so i can get some sleep
i lie in bed awake
filled with existential dread
it feels like i’m always awake
i need more sedatives

One of the leading albums to come out of the shitstorm that is 2020. Got me through some tough times. The lyrics are some of my favourites of Nothing. Absolute 12/10 ✨ Pipps
Such an excellent album! Quite a long one, almost reaching 80 mins mark, and there is not a single second that I would like to skip as I listen to it. Perfect! sergiy-hz
This DC shoegaze group work like fog, bringing in ephemeral melodic layers that swirl together to become something surprisingly heavy. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018
Contrasting luxe shoegaze textures with languishing post-metal breakdowns, the New York band recast destruction as a sort of romance. Bandcamp New & Notable May 1, 2019
