She's Here

black tears on a white dress
dead love on a rose bed
sore eyes and a cold mouth
fingers on a blade fingers on a blade
she's here she's here but not for me
she's here she's here but not for me
dark stain on a pale floor
cold hand on a glass wall
bare skin with a numb grin
shadows in the frame shadows in the frame
she's here she's here but not for me
she's here she's here but not for me
i hold this silence like a vow
with every crack upon my brow
she spoke in mirrors never clear
I reach for her and she disappeared
she's here she's here but not for me
she's here she's here but not for me
she's here she's here
she's here but not for me she's here
she's here but not for me

i look at you i look at you
i'm watching you and i crawl on my hands
i don't want you i don't want you
i don't want this
i don't want either me or you
your books are full of razors
that bleed me when I read
within my mortal lifetime
i'll never reach inside your dreams
thin and skinless i cup my ears
every time we scream
this delusion is something
that's a mantra to me
we feel the same we hurt the same
we in flesh and will do betray ourselves
i don't want this i don't want this
i don't want all this
and i don't want either me or you
your books are full of razors
that bleed me when I read
within my mortal lifetime
i'll never reach inside your dreams
thin and skinless i cup my ears
every time we scream
this delusion is something
that's a mantra to me

your books are full of razors
that bleed me when I read
within my mortal lifetime
i'll never ever reach inside your dreams
thin and skinless i cup my ears
every time we scream
this delusion is something that's
a mantra to me
give me something to believe in
give me the hand of your cold dark
give me something to believe in
give me the hand of your cold dark
there is no challenge anymore
my feet are nailed to the floor
i cannot walk away I cannot kill the day
i'm here and you're not
this delusion this delusion this delusion
keeps me alive
this delusion this delusion this delusion
keeps me alive keeps me alive
this delusion this delusion this delusion
keeps me alive keeps me alive

Alien Skin Melbourne, Australia
Being one, I write songs for the disillusioned. For people who’ve stopped pretending everything’s fine. The music comes from the wreckage...loss, dystopia and emotional ruin. With a DIY ethos that emphasizes raw, imperfect and emotionally detached sounds, it's 80s inspired coldwave, post-punk, and minimal synth. If that speaks to you, you’re in the right place. ... more
Alien Skin recommends:
Haunting female French voice, menacing at times with melancholic atmosphere in the music.

Tomb For Two
by Lebanon Hanover
Lebanon Hanover are inspirational to me, and 'Tomb for Two' is one of my fave albums from them; coldwave, bleak and alienated. I identify with the stark atmosphere which lives within these songs.

Not one weak track, and the vinyl is a really quality pressing! Just buy it. Hard to pick a favorite, but "Obsession" just hits me the most.

Madeline Goldstein's fusion of cinematic dream pop and darkwave manages to sound both nostalgic and contemporary.
