Colder
It slips down through my fingers
Like it's always done before
I touch for just an instant begging blindly reaching out for more
It falls around my shoulders but not enough to keep me warm
I step into the light
Into the calm
breathing the air before the storm
Blue to my fingertips
Blackened to my soul
Staring at the swirling skies
Give me shelter from the cold
Standing I'm a statue
Skin pressed against the wall
Holding screams form the outside
There's footsteps in the hall
I am colder
Than I have even been
Cold as stone in earth
Everyday waking to face this
No one to erase this
Blue to my fingertips
Blackened to my soul
Staring at the swirling skies
Give me shelter from the cold

Fade Away

Fade Away
You sit inside your shell
Sit inside your pretty pretty hell
The water comes closer
The walls come closer
And I can't seem to find the way
And you fade away
''Dance, pretty baby, dance''
Strings move you, strings pull you
Push me pull me, push me pull me
The strings grow tighter
The noose gets a little tighter.
And you fade away

I Died For You

I Died For You
There's blood on my lips
There's blood on my tongue
Coming from the cuts of love from when we were young
I'm turning the pages of the books we never read
All that was and never will is burning in my head
I lied for you
I cried for you
I died for you
All for
I lied for you
I cried for you
I died for you
All for you
Can you hear me screaming at the top of my soul?
Hungry and begging in misery so cold
Empty and losing more
Everything slips away
Nothing is left at the end of the miserable day
I lied for you
I cried for you
I died for you
All for
I lied for you
I cried for you
I died for you
All for you
Empty and losing more
Everything slips away
Nothing is left at the end of the miserable day

Death And The Maiden
Lies she still
Lies she low
Still like icy water
Under china snow
Lies she cold
Lies she told
Little white lies to match her skin
To paint her porcelain soul
For death has met the maiden
And he loved her
And he loved her
How he loved her
Yes he still loves her
And he promises everything
For her ever and always
Forever and her, always

Yesterday And The Ocean
The rain fell
A veil of tears across our footsteps
The sky would tell
What lips won't speak of
And you breathless as I sang
Eyes inside my voice
Inside the sound
That could drown
May I drown?
The river flows
Down the face from eyes
As gray as grave
How the river runs from nails as words
My hands
My heart
My feet
My eternity
And you breathless as I am
Thrown into the fire
Of your smell of yesterday and the ocean

Breathing (live)

Breathing
I rest on the red ground and pretend the blood isn't real
I'm bathing in the warmest of waters
Hear no sound
I can't hear you breathing
I don't know how long I can stand it
Or how I continue to stand
I can't try to understand it
Or what it is to understand
You're not breathing
Wish a circle in rhythm
Beat in time to your voice
Around in black
And again in blue
What could I do?
You're not breathing
Under the palest moon
I see the river from your mouth
Flow and shine
Under this nights sky
You will have all that is yours
And I will take all that is mine
You're not breathing
I can't hear you breathing

Bleed Like Me
I'd like to cut you open
Pour myself a new velvet coat to wrap around
And keep me warm
Now that it's winter
I'll wear it like I wore my innocence
Next to my skin
I'll wear it when I sleep
And keep the visions within
I wanted to be your answer
I wanted to be your life
I truly lived when I kissed you
I have only seen by your light
I wanted to be in you
And of you
To love you
To know you
And now I know you
But there's just one more thing
Just one more thing
I'd like to cut you open
To see if you bleed red like me

To Be Sure
Something from the outside
Inside is my guess
Loving is just another question to the test
Once more is the last time,
Just like the time before
Fade the brightest hope
Down to the deepest core
And then again to be sure
And then again to be sure
Nothing is the reason
For everything at all
Dying for the longest time
And you began it all
You say these chains are broken
And have fallen to he ground
I never heard them fall from me
I never heard a sound
Break them again to be sure
Break them again to be sure

Resurrection
I bind to myself today
The power of heaven
The light of the sun
The brightness of the moon
The splendor of fire
The swiftness of the wind
The depth of the sea
These things I bind to me
I bind to myself today
Your power to guide me
Your might to uphold me
Your wisdom to teach me
Your eyes to watch over me
Your ear to hear me
Your words to give me speech
Your hand to guide me
Your way to lie before me
Your heart to shelter me
You hope to assure me
And your love to sustain me
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim
In the obedience of angels
In the hopes of resurrection
Unto reward

For All The World

For All the World
This kiss is for the all the world
In twilights black and gold
As my breath fades from the air
And my lips grow cold
Toward me slips the silence
So tender through the trees
To take me back to the time
Before the masks
Before the machines
This kiss is for all the world
This kiss is for all the world
Quiet treads the evening
Upon fields of flowing red
Fields of white bones
My country
My love
My home
Above my heart
The poppies bloom
Under clear sky
Before my forever open eyes

Frightened
ink slips from pages
blood washes from your hands
my scars don't understand
your absence
is my sorrow
but what is sorrow in your name?
what comfort in the night is
black and white blame?
I hesitated
the moment passed
seconds turn to hours, turn to days, turn to years
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I was frightened
your paper gaze holds me
there's no turning away this time
steel gray eyes pierce my skin
your silence whispers to me
I hear your voice again
I am as yours as I was then
I hesitated
the moment passed
seconds turn to hours, turn to days, turn to years
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I was frightened
who knew a kiss could burn forever
who knew love at first sight could last forever
we should die together

for they can never betray

ever faithfull
until the day they die

So calming, feels like I took an evening shower with warm water and went straight to bed and went inside the blankets and rested my eyes. Also bought the vinyl and got lot of freebies, thank you Lycia. I love you guys so much ❤️

Such a wonderful release and a real doomer classic

Melissa Harris’s shadowy synthpop is carefully crafted and delightfully catchy, gems that reflect darkness and light in equal measure.

As the name implies, there’s something wonderfully spooky about this Philly band—shoegaze with a haunting undercurrent.

A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.

Casa Luna is so dreamy and feels like entering a different world... I had gotten into Lycia's older stuff first, so when I discovered that they had new releases that were just as beautiful, I was so happy, it just gets better :-)
