Old clouds are falling Wonders still calling broken Still wanting broken Still wanting There is more than this little box And there are many canopies A million times higher than The ones above us now Feels like I’m inhaling From beneath the waves again Wreckage on the reef again Between before and after There is more than this little box And there are many canopies A million times higher than The ones above us now

That dream of a new life Not new, but perfect in my skies Found all we ever wanted To have it ripped away us untied Trying for new moorings With a version of him, oversimplified Gradual escape from Bindings I despise Found a boy with Even leaner thighs But your differences May be perfect in their right A new kind of damage For me to bat around at night But your differences May be perfect in their right A new kind of damage For me to bat around at night In love with minutiae Trying to correct For this different light The snow on a doe’s tail Quiet never seemed so bright But your differences May be perfect in their right A new kind of damage For me to bat around at night But your differences May be perfect in their right A new kind of damage For me to bat around at night

Looking in through other eyes Other voices, other knives Looking in through other eyes Brand new thoughts Brand new lines You told me what to want You sold it to them You told me who to haunt I walked right through them Hunt me Hunt me I’ve lost me Hunt me Looking in through other eyes Other voices, other lies Skating through other eyes Brand new thoughts Thicker lines You told me what to want You sold it to them Spaces, cracks in the void I walked right through them Haunt me, Haunt me I’ve lost me Haunt me Filled now to breaking Left reeling Stretching to breaking Left reeling Closed off to every thought Left reeling No way to starlight now Left reeling Haunt me Haunt me I’ve lost me Haunt me

He’s never Too tall Too big Such walls he’s everything to me Stop short Stop now Too big somehow he’s everything to me Never enough Now it’s too much Never enough Now it’s too much He’s never Too tall Too big Such walls He’s never Too tall Too big Such walls The Alaska Highway is buckling Not built for this traffic The Alaska Highway is buckling Not built for this traffic He’s never Too tall Too big Such walls Stop short Stop now Too big somehow

Lately, it seems such a long time Since you found me Maybe it hasn’t been enough time Since you left me roundly Now I hesitate to greet you Now I sleep soundly Take me underwater Throw me to the ground Kick me in the teeth, boy Let me taste the sound Lately, it seems such a long time Since you found me Maybe it hasn’t been enough time Since you left me roundly Now I hesitate to greet you Now I sleep soundly Take me underwater Throw me to the ground Kick me in the teeth, boy Let me taste the sound Take me underwater Throw me to the ground Kick me in the teeth, boy Let me taste the sound

Sometimes, sometimes this Steel vampire’s grip Is too much for me Is too much for me Wait for me Wait for me Want to hide at The Frick Camp out at The Morgan Library Want to hide at the The Frick Camp out at The Morgan Library Wait for me Just wait for me Wait for me Wait for me All the waking worlds Make for a lonely girl All the waking world Hurts for a lonely girl Wait for me Just wait for me Wait for me Wait for me

Don’t speak memory You talk too much already Don’t speak memory You talk too much already So tired of the sea You pour out twice nightly That weak tide in me Her waves so unsightly Why did you change My life to Just walk out of it? Summer is broken ‘Cause you Flitted out of it And now you’re all brand new And now you’re all brand new Don’t speak memory You talk too much already Don’t speak memory You talk too much already So tired of the sea You pour out twice nightly that weak tide in me Her waves so unsightly Why did you change My life to Just walk out of it? Summer is broken ‘Cause you Flitted out of it And now you’re all brand new And now you’re all brand new Don’t speak memory You talk too much already Don’t speak memory You talk too much already

The lay of the land is different here And you and I lay differently here Not as good Not like rocks I said I shouldn’t have come But how is that ever true? Can’t be Couldn’t be Can’t be Couldn’t be Can’t be Couldn’t be So here I am Lying again After trying so hard Not to do that with you All I had to do Was get on an airplane Fly away from you To make us the same A broken line Broken talk Broken concrete I still walk Now we’re in The space between The fall and the leaves And I’d chase you to The Everglades Chase you to The Everglades The weight of your hands is different here And you and I play differently here Not like before Not like rocks I said I shouldn’t have come But how is that ever true? Can’t be Couldn’t be Can’t be Couldn’t be Can’t be Couldn’t be So here I am Lying again After trying so hard Not to do that with you All I had to do Was get on an airplane Fly away from you To make us the same A broken line Broken talk Broken concrete I still walk Now we’re in The space between The fall and the leaves And I’d chase you to The Everglades Chase you to The Everglades

And we’ll whisper Broken-hearted stories To each other under cov’r of night Protected for now Protected not enough From all that has gone before But the tide turns So quickly You shoot the moon off Off of its axis Over and over And over again And I find myself stricken Hoarding my anger like so many jewels Your metal gifts are rubies Your porcelain ones emeralds Your whiskey tastes like diamonds Your flora really pearls I thought I’d always Win the contest For the cracks that run deepest now I see in you The gorges to My fissures, deeper now Your metal gifts are rubies Your porcelain ones emeralds Your whiskey tastes like diamonds Your flora really pearls I thought I’d always Win the contest For the cracks that run deepest Thirteen calls gone unanswered And I don’t bat a lash You had your moment It is dissolving now I won’t apologize But the tide turns So quickly You shoot the moon off Off of its axis Over and over And over again And I find myself stricken Hoarding my anger like so many jewels Your metal gifts are rubies Your porcelain ones emeralds Your whiskey tastes like diamonds Your flora really pearls I thought I’d always Win the contest For the cracks that run deepest now I see in you The gorges to My fissures, deeper now Your metal gifts are rubies Your porcelain ones emeralds Your whiskey tastes like diamonds Your flora really pearls I thought I’d always Win the contest For the cracks that run deepest For the cracks that run deepest

about

New York's Autodrone releases its second album, "This Sea is Killing Me," on True Mother Records. Produced by Autodrone and Boone McElroy at his Manhattan Desert Park Studios, the album is a darkly potent, emotive mix of chaos and harmony, organs, noise, and riffs flowing together. It's a compelling and bizarrely beautiful nervous breakdown that leaves its listeners underwater.

Formed in NYC in the 00s, Autodrone draws upon their collective psychoses, heartbreak, and morbid interests to meld together a sound that incises as much from post-punk and psych rock as it does shoegaze. Unlikely waves of redemption flow from the cacophony in this album. Opening track "49:51" takes listeners down a confrontational, if not often painful, sonic rake through hell, only to be followed by "Corvus," with its dense, almost baroque organ droning at the hands of Psychic TV's Markus Persson.

"We sought to mine our psychedelic rock influences for the first time and truly reach back further in time than any of our previous recordings," guitarist Jeremy Alisauskas said of the album. "We incorporated more vintage techniques and instruments from the 1960s and 70s in the studio."
