i'm not moving
i'll learn to enjoy this feeling (paralyzed)
& even if the wind comes around
to sweep up the town
& pull the earth down
my feet are on the ground
i'm never going back to that place
floating in space
where i watched the stars streak by my frozen face
& maybe if i try to erase
the pictures encased in cages
graced the pages blank
& i don't trust the ground littered w/ holes
& i'll sprain my ankle losing my footing again
& i can't relax
i found my footprints where i haven't read
chasing the hours that still crawl ahead
i always struggled w/ staying still
well this is good practice
i'm forever tethered till i rot away
if i try to recall
the hours i've stalled
watching a clock i knew i'd broken long ago
& i can hide but i can't run
& it accumulates
spot will form & it's too late
& all i do is wait
Dizzying psychedelic songs that feel like they're being played at the bottom of a deep canyon, drenched in reverb & echo. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 11, 2022
The latest EP from U.K. experimentalist Charlotte Valentine is disconcerting and fascinating, pop broken down and warped. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2019
