about

When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.

lyrics

With the hilt of my magnifying glass
I will seize the day
With my emotions controlled and my inhibitions at bay
From its lease a rapturous cleanse sears the ground charcoal black
and burns away their sins
She shackles me to the radiator because I failed to obey
I stifle my screams from the heat conducting through the taught steal chain
But now
I am Helios
I am Ra on this
Sunniest of Sundays

There's invaders in the garden mother
They're crawling in the grass
And digging tiny foxholes
To engage us as we pass
There's invaders in the garden mother
They've laid siege to our grounds
Enslaving all the aphids
They move without a sound

With this vinyl serpent in my hand
I will seize the day
With my dignity in tact and my worries far far away
From its mouth I summon flood and turn the cracked ground to liquid mud
With her razor blade nails she'd hold me underwater and say
"I am the God to which you'll pray"
But now
I am Neptune
I am Noah
On this
Lemonade stand Sunday

There's invaders in the garden mother
They're building tiny towns
Disturbing the top soil by
Polluting it with mounds
There's invaders in the garden mother
On the veranda they build Rome!
Searching for Grandma's sugar cubes
They grow closer to our home

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 6 fans who also own “Jimmy the Anthill Prince”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
