I hate myself it’s by design
This leaves me empty every time
I just can’t do this tonight
I’ve been pretending my whole life
How does this story end
I’m singing words I did not write
Tell me why I got on this stage
Was there something I wanted to say?
A portrait that I needed to paint
Say it
Go on
Say it
I know you don’t care
I hate myself it’s by design
This leaves me empty every time
I fake myself
I roll my eyes
There’s nothing left but cheap disguise
I hate myself
Why should I lie?
There’s nothing left of me to buy
Tell me why I got on this stage
Was there something I wanted to say?
A portrait that I needed to paint
Say it
Go on
Say it
Fuck it, I don’t care
I hate myself it’s by design
This leaves me empty every time

Get onto my page
We’re all believers
In one god ego
Follow me now
Get up on the stage
We’re all receivers
Just don’t unplug or stray from the crowd
Publicize my private thoughts (And lies)
Advertise I’m dead inside (Aren’t you?)
Sell you what I’d buy as truth
You know I can’t stop…won’t stop
Can I get a little less of me?
Got no right to erase
No one’s forgotten now
We live life televised
I know my rating’s down
I’ve got this fear that I can’t describe
Like I’ll leave my body unverified (Fi)
I’m over feeling unrecognized
I’m over feeling
You, you know know the feeling
Can I get a little less of me?

It’s worth saying
I saw it in your eyes
Felt your fear
Why couldn’t I just walk away and let you disappear?
You said it felt real good
That didn’t mean you would
Stay with me
Even though details fade
I still live with you everyday
I always hoped the end would be clean
But I keep waking up and writing new scenes
It’s about
Endlessly repeating days
Tell me now
A better way, a better way out
It’s about
Needing to feel in control
Talk to me
Don’t talk me down, talk me down now
Why don’t you?
Take a pill
Change your brain
I’ll try to forget that shit you said again
But voices linger
Repeating your words
“I want to love you but my heart is all blurred”
It’s about
Endlessly repeating days
Tell me now
A better way, a better way out
It’s about
Needing to feel in control
Talk to me
Don’t talk me down, talk me down now
Why don’t you?
Stay with me
Stay with me

You know that I built all this for you
You tear at, You tear it down
All the warmth, all the time spent on you
Leaves me cold
You know I waited so long for you
You wander, You waste my time
You knew I’d give it all up for you
It’s too much, it’s not enough
Fully Automated Luxury Communism
You know when you lied that I came though
Picked you up, picked you apart
You told me that I saved you from you
I’m lost now
You want a utopia?
Well here it is
Fully Automated Luxury Communism
You want a utopia?
Well here it is
Let’s go
So maybe I can’t survive
My planet was alive
And my ship is only automated (Fully)
So maybe I wanna cry
And watch my tears go drifting by
Like diamond butterflies in the void (Empty)
I’m weeping anyway
So I might as well make the change
To fully automated (Baby)
Mama I gotta go
You’re the only home I’ve known
But the luxury of dreams await me (Blast off)
Utopia, You told me of a place to live
Utopia, You told me of what I could give
Utopia, You told me all that I could buy
Utopia, You told me all that I should die for

Let me outside
I can’t feel my heartbeat
Feels like a fire
Has burnt me through
Eyes out of focus
Hands know the room
Fold into myself
Sleeping for days
Strangers in the windows
Bringing the plague
Let me outside
I can’t feel my heartbeat
Faith stops me breathing
Doubt feeds the flames
Voices that whisper
“The end of days”
Let me outside
I can’t feel my heartbeat
Let me outside
I can’t feel my heartbeat

If Flesh is God

Should I stop watching?
Tucked in bed
It’s feeding my fear that I won’t be desired
If flesh is god
What are the odds
I feel so alone
Don’t you?
Give it away (yeah)
Give it away (don’t you)
Tossed my faith out
Caught some heat
I didn’t wanna show you what’s inside of me
But it’s true
I want you
Give it away (yeah)
Give it away (don’t you)
Should I stop crawling
To the bed?
I’m feeding your need to fuck as advertised
If flesh is god
We pay the cost
To feel
Special
Give it away (yeah)
Give it away (don’t you)

Haven’t you had enough ritual loss
Pulling your blinds back ignoring the cost
Gliding through bedrooms undressing the dolls
You sent me love letters
But locked all your doors
Peel back the skin
Why won’t you let me in?
Haven’t we lied enough, kissing in cars
I told you I’d leave this place if you made the call
Asked me to cross a line I would have crossed
You threw the dress to the flames
Denying your part
Peel back the skin
Why won’t you let me in?

had this dropped in the actual 80s,it would be one of the best pop albums of that decade, it's that strong.

Extremely catchy new wave album, with such slick and stylish Italo disco vibe.

Moody, minimalist arrangements surround aching vocal melodies, for songs that exist somewhere between EDM and pop.

Lush, dark synthpop with powerful live percussion, divine vocals, and hooks like animal claws.

I'm really bad at FFO's. But I bought this because it reminds me of a guitar-centric Assemblage 23 featuring the Edge from U2. This is an amazing darkwave album that exudes atmosphere, nuance and detail that show with repeated listens. Check this out!
