living dolls
lyrics by Penelope Houston/ music by P. Houston, Mel Peppas
Candle, candle, burning cold and bright
You burn the shadows from the night
With every blaze that you ignite
The sound of tearing silk
we stand unnoticed in the crowd
Our flames are crying out so loud
With faces full of hope and proud
Just like two living dolls
Behind the silent walls no one sings, no one calls
Behind the shuttered door shadows dancing on the floor
Behind the mirrored glass a hidden eye is watching me
the words come thick and fast but no one hears to turn the key
Candle, candle, burning cold and bright
You burn the shadows from the night
With every flame you light
The faces of two living dolls
A tree stands lonely on the ground
It¹s blossoms wither, turning brown
how many seasons will go round
Behind these silent doors
Behind the silent walls no one sings, no one calls
Behind the shuttered door shadows dancing on the floor
Behind the mirrored glass a hidden eye is watching me
the words come thick and fast but no one hears to turn the key
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record" Outer Estate
