The way you speak it makes me want to cry
Velvet jacket lined with satin resting on your thigh
As for my overtures,
And my painted-on, two-dimensional scenery,
And my taste for vaudevillian delivery
The way you turn your chest on me
I’m embarrassed to be clever when you’re honest
You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal
In your eyes I am naked
Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars
And I notice you are gentle
By the way your posture is so elegant
And I notice you are noble, you are kind
Or at least entertained by your time sitting here with me
Okay I’ll share this -
When I was five I remember clearly
My want to have a Cinderella birthday party
And when the moment came and I changed my mind
I was quiet, alone, and devastated
You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal
In your eyes I am naked
Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars
Just know I’ve cleared the way
Just know I won’t leave as I came
Just know I’ll keep the mirror you gave
Just know I won’t leave as I came
I won’t leave as I came
I won’t leave as I came
You make me want to be ready
I feel different now than I did before
I can see how my power
Only was my fear of betrayal
In your eyes I am naked
Screaming like a tornado in the dark
I can see us laying face to face
As St. Helens is underneath the stars
Just know I’ve cleared the way
Just know I won’t leave as I came

Recorded during a six-week residency in Palestine, the Roma producer's latest LP is a haunting deconstruction of Middle Eastern traditions. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 1, 2026
A collage of spiritual jazz, electroacoustic minimalism, fourth-world music, and psychedelia from the Italian composer and saxophonist. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2025
Entirely familiar and entirely new at once, this is a record which succeeds where late era Radiohead fails. Incorporating some of the direction from Cam's solo project paid off big time, and Getting Killed is worth 110% of the hype. cypsee
