Empathy Malfunction

[deathboy]

I've been listening to this a lot today, up nice and loud.

It was by this 'DeathBoy' chap, I think, some time before christmas.

I think we might do it live, maybe.

Empathy Malfunction - DeathBoy


this is the empathy malfunction
this is the social disconnect
we shed our skins to be belonging
what we wanna give is what we get

this is the empathy malfunction
electrons make us all forget
we lie together, mix our systems
we misfire / we reject

oh, we reject

I am the demon at your window
I am the devil at your door
I'll never leave, I never meant to
I never learnt to ask for more

I'll keep on tearing all your senses
I'll keep on tearing you away
You are my everything and nothing
You are the one who makes me stay

I see myself outside your window
I see myself outside your room
I'll climb the rooftops, fuck the neighbours
I'm coming, baby, be there soon

And we can scream out all the filters
And we can strangle this monsoon
I'll weather all your painful winters
I'm sorry, honey, be there soon

I never had some place to think of
I never had some place to be
This box was never home for long now
This place was never home to me

You're going through while I'm away
Tidy up remnants, I never meant to stay
Bitter memories
The sweets and paraloids
Brighter days

Brighter days

DeathBoy, you say? I have a brilliant album by a band of the same name - I think maybe they're connected somehow. It's called End Of An Error. You (and everyone else) should give it a listen.

DeathBoy, you say? hrm. i have a co worker who likes that band, but he's only 20, so i think it might be for the young people...

Lucky you, I'm stuck listening to next door's commercial dance shite. Maybe I'll have to play something by this Deathboy bloke really loudly in revenge as a way of saying thank you.

It sounds better at full volume with the speakers pushed face-forwards towards the wall.
