We'll gather the leftover joy
In someone else's laughters
We lie, they laugh
Left facing broken mirrors
When they're gone
Crooked lullabies for their deaf ears
Selfless tricks for their blind eyes
How much longer do you think
We can wear this poisonous smile?
How much longer we can live
Feeding emptiness posing as clowns?
We're sinking deeper
And those laughs won't last
It's already hurting
Hiding behind this mask
We'll be crucified to isolate
Choose between social death
And bleeding in this pretend
It is us that are dying either way
This is how I feel
No longer can I hide what's real
This is how I feel
No longer can I let them feed
I'll serve them no more.

A necessary reissue of everything venerated hardcore band Angel Hair ever released, with breakneck time signatures that turn on a dime. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 10, 2024
