Transparent
04:00
|
|||
|
I wonder if you've heard a thing I've said
Have you ever wondered what it meant
When I cry
I wonder if your hands cover your ears
So you will never have to hear
What I need you to
I wish you would listen
And I wish you would think a while
I wish that you would understand
Just once
All I want is some reaction
Don't ignore that I feel so strongly
I can never accept myself
Just tell me you know I'm alive
Have you ever felt like you're transparent
When your hopes are all that there is
To live for
I wish you would need me
And I wish you would try
I wish that you could love
Just once
All I want is some reaction
I can never accept myself
All I want is some reaction
Don't ignore that I feel so strongly
I can never accept myself
Please tell me you know I'm alive
Just once

Never Fall in Love
03:42
|

Never fall in love
It will leave you empty
And begging for sympathy
As you begin to lose control
And turn upside down
And no one seems to care
Or acknowledge that you're there
'cause they're too busy thinking
About where they should be
But these things take time
And recovery is slow
But eventually you'll heal
As you tell yourself
To never fall in love again
Never fall in love
It will leave your senses confused
And you'll be easily used
At everyone's pleasure
For only their leisure
Resulting in your distress
And leaving you crushed
To be swept away
Where no one will see
So they don’t have to deal with it
Because it happens every day
And love only ends in pain
So you tell yourself
To never fall in love again

Running with You
03:27
|
|||
|
All this time I felt so restrained
Like I would never be free again
I'd forgotten what it really meant to live
And this illusion is not all there is
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind
It's hard for me to keep up with you
You've been in this situation before
And I have never felt like this
But I'll give all I have to give
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind
I want to be alive
For once I want to smile
I want to be alive
I never want to die
I want to be alive
Just to be with you
Don't turn me away so easily
Because of what you've heard people say
Cos most of it is never true
When I stand right next to you
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind

Like Today
05:08
|
|||
|
Under the streetlights, in the dark
Those moments never seem to far
Shrouded by the night and filled with pain
rying secretly, crying your name
You always hated me all the time
Because you thought that the choice was mine
I only wanted to get away
To some place or time just like today
Now I'm here in your world trying hard to catch your eye
You said I'd be happy here but I just cannot see why
Now that you've finally lured me here
I am faced with my greatest fear
I always trusted you all along
But now something has gone really wrong
Now I see your sad world why did I think I'd want to change
It just seems much worse here everyone want to play their games
You can only pretend for so long that the truth will go away
I'm waiting for the day, the day when you will realize
That reality will be waiting when you open up your eyes
Sometimes I wonder why I persist, when I've nothing left to give
You've sucked me dry of any life, and anything I've yet to try
What have you left me to hold inside
I'm back where I started but everything is twice as hard
When days just like today will never really be too far

Serious Song
03:29
|
|||
|
Well
I'm just sitting in the dark
Alone here in the dark
Contemplating
Well
I don't know what else to say
Except I hope you're on your way
I've been waiting
And I hope you will come as soon as you can
Or I will be a lonely man
Oh
I thought about the hell
That I've been put through
And what I should really do about it
That will turn me away from this gloom
And you're the only answer that comes to my mind
And I hope someday that we will find
A life together
That will never see doom
I need someone now or I will never survive
This lonely, lonely life
Oh
Come to me
Make it real

Target
03:43
|
|||
|
Let the walls come down on top of me
Let the walls come down on top of me
Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me
Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me
Oh I don't know
Why I'm the one
Always getting hurt
I don't want to live me life in pain
I don't want to live me life in pain
But you don't even care you just stand right over there
You don't even care you think it's all completely fair
Oh will they quit
Digging deep into my skin
I'm sick of being burned
Let the walls come down on top of me
Let the walls come down on top of me
Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me
Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me
Oh I don't know
Why I'm the one
Always getting hurt

Survive
04:05
|
|||
|
I don't care if we say goodbye
As long as you don't even try
To look back or I might cry
I don't want to break your heart
But I knew right from the start
That our love would fall apart
It's times like these
When you need
The inner strength
So you can fight
The misery
But there's still a chance
Maybe tonight
I could apologize to you
And lie to say that it was true
But what more can I do
I want to stay with you through the rough
Though I know I've hurt you enough
When all this time I faked my love
It's times like these
When you need
The inner strength
So you can fight
The misery
But there's still a chance
Maybe tonight
I know I was cruel
I know you were fooled
And I know that there is better for you
It's times like these
When you need
The inner strength
So you can fight
The misery
But there's still a chance
Maybe tonight
It's times like these
When you need
The inner strength
So you can fight
Your distress
When there's no next chance
I know I'm right

Swimming Pool
03:17
|
|||
|
Look
Look away
From the dangers
That invites you in
See
That your bathing
In the water
As it cleanses your skin
I'm not afraid of this situation
'cause I know that it'll be alright
I only wish I felt this way with you
Feel
The immersion
That you've taken
That's soothing you
Take
Take a dive
Into paradise
That pool so blue
I'm not afraid of this situation
'cause I know that it'll be alright
I only wish I felt this way with you
I'm not afraid of this situation
I'm not afraid of this situation
I only wish I felt this way with you

Repetition
04:18
|
|||
|
Here we go doing the same thing
Over and over like a merry-go round
Getting nowhere, making no progress
There's no suspense in where we're bound
I need a change from this why I'm living
If I'm gonna get through this life
So I'm saying I need to get away from you
Don't even tell me what I'm gonna do
I'm getting sick of this monotonous love
It's kind of like a forced addiction
Doing the same thing every day
Get me away from this repetition
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Running in the same long race
This way I feel, and it comes from the heart
I think I need a change of pace
You give me hell about what I do
You always tell me the very same thing
So I'm saying I need to get away from you
Don't even tell me what I'm gonna do
I'm getting sick of this monotonous love
It's kind of like a forced addiction
Doing the same thing every day
Get me away from this repetition
Take me away
Give some strength to carry on
I don't want to stay
Or my self-respect will be gone
I'm getting sick of this monotonous love
It's kind of like a forced addiction
Doing the same thing every day
Get me away from this repetition

Face the Nation
03:03
|
|||
|
I don't really know
Which way that I should go
But I Know that I love you
Now it's just a matter of letting you know
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation
I need help from you
So I won't be lonely too
You must help me out
And give a love that is true
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation
Gotta get your attention
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation

Great voice and beats, a hint of Depeche Mode, what's not to like.

Probably one of the biggest surprises to me was finding out about BlakLight by just browsing. Very reminiscent of groups like Depeche mode. Has a nice, classic sound with modern additions sprinkled in, and definitely worth a buy.

The debut full-length from noted game composer Megan McDuffee is slick and moody electropop with more than a hint of darkness. Plus vocals!

A stellar cast of artists put their own shadowy spins on recent Bestial Mouths material—toward the goth club floor or into pure noise.
