when you finally try to break that wall
when you find the balls to face it anyway
when you breathe so deep and jump so high
that you reach the other side to find
that there's no one there to help you
no one there to help you

soldiers of shame

two thousand fingers pointing one way
two thousand voices screaming the same
come on and play, they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame
i rolled the dice, i was eager to start
i started to win so i played everyday
come on and play, they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame
once i started to lose, wanting to change
the voices kept on telling me not to be ashamed
come on and play, still they said, come on and play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame
so much of the same made me tired and bored
the voices may call but it's best to ignore
i'm not gonna play, i say, i'm not gonna play
the game of the wounded soldiers of shame
because i'm going away, going away
the past will be there with nearly no one to blame
i'm willing to fall and i'm willing to crash
but i'm not gonna play that silly game again
i'm going away, going away
the past will be there with nearly no one to blame
i'm willing to fall and i'm willing to crash
but i'm not gonna play that silly game again

nihil

we need nothing to do and have nothing to say
we don't care for the cure, we just want a band aid
we need nothing new we just like to reframe
we don't want the truth, just someone to blame
we're trying to be nothing with a bunch of things
we are willing to love if it jumps in our way
we are open to learn when there's no one to explain
we could offer our help but we're afraid to pry
we'd love to do it ourselves but it is easier to buy

i hope i never tell this story again

i don't have to tell you, you know what it means
i don't need to fake it, no need to pretend
i must say goodbye but this is not the end

Flower Of Life [LP]
by Taleen Kali
"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles.

An excellent take on droll and downcast indie rock with unexpectedly sparkly elements from this Philadelphia group.

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too
