Scoop the past and the shell remains
A negative mask, a vanity stain
From this path I know I will not stray
The bottom's not so far after all
I will SMEAR where the face was
Nothing more or less
SMEAR where the face was
Where it goes who knows
(i know what you're gonna say)
Lag behind or standing still
Impulse is fear, and fear you will
A simple gesture made to erase
debris that took me years to create.
I've found a solution, and this one stays;
Just eyes and holes and no mistakes.
(just eyes and holes and eyes and holes…)
And a SMEAR where the face was
Nothing more or less
SMEAR where the face was
Where it goes who knows
(easy come, easy go)
…Now sorrow replaces shame
Time clicks by and you wonder why the past gets closer to you every day.
What has this space become?
Which course is left to run?
Unbridled void now flowing free – seems that the damage is done
…And the conquest lingers on
Question not the known solemn fact that this is where you now belong
Be still - please refrain!
Embrace the vanity stain!
Memories stripped, emotions run dry with the comfort of absence contained.
Ha!

Couch Slut is a rare band in the noise genre. Influenced by Sonic Youth, lo-fi black metal, and other genres, the lead singer screams over fragmented riffs. Amazing work. Jeff Holt
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023

Nirvana, for whatever reason, was my gateway to metal and heavy music in general. So this brings me full circle. The covers are really faithful but only as Thou can deliver it. rettisawesome
