lyrics

sometimes i have moments when I want to cut off all my hair
go and wipe my skin clean, erase my tattoos, and just be bare.

my jewelry's a distraction at times to who i really am
and my body's all that's forcing me to think i am a man.

but there is a secret world buried beneath this one.
there is music under the concrete, and secrets to be sung.

my clothing is a billboard and my words are just a mask.
our lives are quiet as a whisper--we think we have to be loud
to understand that.

and I'll wear my heart as a patch upon my sleeve,
but even punk rock metaphors fall short of what I mean.

I know that I'm not an artist, but I think that art gets at the truth
of what it means of being buried by the weight of what it takes to be
me and you

don't depend on music or the pen
while i try not to be a burden on my friends
but it's like Adam said:
I don't want to be alone when this world ends.

One of the most powerful records in my collection. Perfect queer experimental folk. This is cool cuz it’s still Noel’le solo in their bedroom but it’s the start of Loone! Wish y’all would record more material!… Ansel__knight
