I Don't 05:00
lyrics
Nobody wants to be, wants to be corrected Do you have a piece of my piece of mind to spare? To share? And you say, I Don’t Waiting and wishing but washing my windows I can watch out for the implications

Dead Pen Pals 03:55
lyrics
My place in your head; Radar blips throughout the day You file them under “Best Ignored” My place in your heart; Casket-shaped and soundproof Baby, you won’t hear a Peep from me You drove me to a campsite by the lake I know that I have seen this place before You pointed up to make me look away And shot me two more times just to make sure My place in your bones; Stay awake to make you ache An itch you’ll never stand to reach My place in your throat; Blossom like a lotus ‘til you choke on every word you say

Neighbors 03:36
lyrics
Feelings that surround you, the ones you came for The ones you’d die for, the ones you’d stay for, yeah All my life I’ve been searching just to find you To surround myself with positive minds who Pull me up, lift my spirits back to good health Give me love, give me strength to live with myself Even when I lack conviction My own mind my true affliction You light my darkness, won’t take it all for granted I’ll take your kindness and stretch it ‘cross the planet, yeah I could be your girl, and you could be mine All I want is for this to last a lifetime Taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior ‘cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors Feelings that surround you, the ones you came for The ones you’d die for, the ones you’d stay for Taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior ‘cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors Live my life a ghost; here in name only Choking on my words, how’d life get so lonely? From the comforts of self-isolation Seems like from afar, oh, life feels much safer, I Put my walls up, life’s a hassle Tell myself I’m building castles Falling captive now to your siege surrounding, I Pull down my flood walls and let your loving drown me, yeah I could be your girl, and you could be mine All I want is for this to last a lifetime Taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior ‘Cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors There’s a voice inside me that screams out keep my distance, yet I will fight it, I will resist it Taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior ‘Cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors And in the night I, I thought I saw you Your light it guides me, your spirit shines through I’m waking up now, all these years later From the thought, yeah, that fences make good neighbors and

Black Radish 08:24
lyrics
Picture this for vividness abundant What if I’m just running blind? Conundrum What for But tug of war I know the score And you’ve made it so inviting So I’m deciding And oh, you see right through Does that have more to do with me or you? And oh, you see so clearly But the colorblind continue confusing hues And though you see right through me Does that have more to do with me or you? And oh, you see so clearly But the colorblind continue seeing blue What I learned last night Stereotypes May not come true I learned that I’d fight Stereotypes To be with you Picture this for vividness; abundant What if I’m just running blind? Conundrum What for But tug of war I know the score But you’ve made it so inviting So appetizing… Let’s go! Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh! Take everything that you’re handed I can’t believe what I saw You’d blame it all on someone else I gave it all, all for naught Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh! Push it all away Forgetting all that you owe Treat everyone as means to an end You had me trapped inside my own head Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh Black Radish, Black Radish, cometh! Your poison clouded my judgment Rewriting all that I know I turned away from what I had promised In the end I reap what I sow Run Run as far as you can You are not forgiven I’ll push it down Push it down into the earth Though battered, I’m unbroken My chains have been unmade I’ll bury you Bury you in this Black Cage Push it down, below Bury it beneath the soil Buried six feet deep Everything you know Let it all fade away into the gray Ashes turn to ash All the things that you loathe I shall now encompass all Everything must stop Here I am without Predictions unforeseen and still I could not avoid I was once renowned Now wracked with lasting apathy Forever unfulfilled Forget it all for now

Papercage Massachusetts

Originally a three-piece po-dunk pop-punk band in 2019, Papercage now hosts six of the grayest ghouls on the East Coast, all of whom perform various instruments and vocals. Our standard line-up features two guitars, bass, keys, violin, and drums. Papercage has roots in nostalgic alternative rock but expanded into progressive territory until it became unclassifiable to earthly music-enjoyers. ... more
