Just try and cope
Hang on to hope
Don't let it stray
It's drifting away
It's all the same
You feel the pain
But that's okay
You almost like it that way
Let us lay all our difference aside
There's nothing here and there's nothing to hide
Let us lay all our difference aside
Let's see ourselves through the camera's eye
You can speak to the Moon
But the Sun won't listen
You can speak to the Moon
But the Sun won't listen to your voice...your little voice
You gaze above in search of love
So there you wait
It's taking all day
It's getting tough you've had enough
Then through the fray
You see it coming your way

So Done

Don't you dare stop outside of your door
Or so says the official lore
That seeks to drive us all insane
Our souls succumb to fear
When anyone comes near
Even if we know their name
I'm so done
You're so done
We're so done
Why can't we just forget about it
Go to sleep and just forget about it
We've never been here before
Gaslighted, psychological war
Swerving in and out of lanes
Up and down goes the sun
Mark off another one
As we gaze through our window panes

What was it that you said?
Condemned and left for dead
Don't act so innocent
Gullible hypocrites
It's supposed to be just fun
You're not the only one
What are you trying to prove?
The world's forgotten you?
So I'll just sit and smile
As you live in denial
They played you for a fool
That's just the ugly truth
Cynical skepticist
Preaching their ignorance
Passive agressive fits
All just for relevance
It's supposed to be just fun
You're not the only one
What are you trying to prove?
They never cared for you
So you'll just sit and smile
Cuz we're all in denial
Narcissistic, vein, uncouth
That's just the ugly truth
Enough to make you sick
Hollowed heads oh so thick
Lost in their own hubris
Opinions rendered useless
It's supposed to be just fun
You're not the only one
What are you trying to prove?
The world's forgotten you?
So I'll just sit and smile
As you live in denial
But hey I must admit
That we're all full of shit

Fever is burning much to your dismay
There you lie in a horizon-like prison
Your mind yields weird thoughts while in disarray
Each moment in agony spent without reason
I need my chakras realigned
I need my stars to realign
Your body is aching, your whole being's sore
Each movement that's made takes double the effort
All of your plans get thrown out the door
Try to focus your thoughts but it just makes your head hurt
You need your chakras realigned
You need your stars to realign
Alone are your days spent, there's nobody there
Video calls are all too familiar
Deep concern has encompassed the few who do care
Everything in the here and now seems so peculiar
We need our chakras realigned
We need our stars to realign

Hot finger, cold trigger
You know what I really wanna do to you
False pretense. Assumptions
Impulsive, reactionary moves
I've seen that face before
I know that look
No reason, no justice.
Another play on social inequality
More screaming, less dreaming
Now nighttime skies glow red within our cities
I've seen these days before
I read the books
Slowly these things are gonna change some
Only that day we'll never see come
Someday these things are gonna change some
Sadly that day we'll never see come
New cycle, same problem
Press conference promises ring untrue
Deep-seeded sick culture
Got us all messed up wondering what it is we gotta do
I've seen these days before
I read the books

The Aftermath

I can't think of a good enough reason to get out of my bed this morning
The sun is shining so true and bright but the voice in my head's still moaning
Here I stand in the aftermath
Here we stand in the aftermath
Life's no fun on the run
Life's so queer living in fear
A new day is here so suck it up so you can start this damn grind all over
To try and beat the monotony you think about your dog and lover
Halfway through the day your third eye blinks to cause a glitch in your mind's recording
It doesn't matter because it's almost time til the fantasy flight starts boarding

Driving late night
Lucy's near the streetlight
Oye Mami!
Let me take you for a ride
Oh no I got this feeling
Lucy, she won't be leaving here
And though I want to
Does it mean I should?
Am I a monster
Or misunderstood?
High heels, flawed skin
Soft lips, tastes like a sin
Anguish. Despair
Punished. Life isn't fair
Gruesome yet stimulating
No use vindicating me
And though I want to
Does it mean I should?
Yes, I'm a monster
Fuck misunderstood!

Stardusk Encounter Chicago, Illinois
In a scene where bands seem chained to their specific genre, Stardusk Encounter is a consistently shape-shifting entity, yet the unique mixture of styles isn't there as a hollow grab for every possible audience. This is a band of well-schooled multi-instrumentalists, writing and performing on their own terms with a canyon-wide palette of slinky, ominous sounds. Get into it! ... more
