lyrics
now she's colder
and sees her hand float before her
and she remembers
she used to be someone's daughter
and i can see her
she's never bodily here
and always fading
but never quite disappears
her curse is to be just like she rehearsed
knowing every verse
and keeping clear of the trap door
but we differ in kind and not degree
rather her than me
this isn't what we signed up for
why don't you sit with me?
big people make me feel nervous
with all that's screaming
it's strange to feel i deserve this
but she can't be broke so easily
though she can't breathe
she doesn't know any better
between each silent blemish of her skin
i know just what she means
i knew the first day i met her
of course i learned the lines that she was taught
a million perfect thoughts
to keep her safe from disorder
but no
they turn to bubbles in her throat
she watches as they float
and let her lungs fill with water.

if someone asks me for my favourite or any 80s disco track I still replay in my head again and again, I'll have to clarify why I'd make an exception for Spectrum. absolute bomb with such honest and raw emotion, it just makes me bawl. <3 neuroticcanary
