    Normal-bias master cassette, recorded and packaged by The Count themself. Apparently can’t count though, because the last few instrumental seconds of the track “Storms” are cut out due to ordering a bit too short of a wind. Everything else sounds great though. Only 45 available! (next batch without the flaw coming soon)

lyrics

a creature of the dark their sleepy eyes caught mine
lived inside them for a time
but i bore so easy

flecks of light through black out drapes
i can’t help seeing faces
pulse it stops and lungs fill up with
a substance grossly tranquil
..is this it?

you bled me out and said i look much better now
well i’m leaving. don’t get all broken up over no one


i’m visionless and all my friends are two holes and a sheet
and the only thought is to light them up before they could ever scare me


but as it burns whats under is much worse i should have known
you wear their faces and use their voices
i can’t tell the difference anymore

snuck out into the dark
the stars tore up your tongue
and i’d like to join them
shut you up
just listen for once

but what if i become an omen
often feared, misinterpreted
see my eyes are turning bright
in the shadows i’m a vague outline

and when your eyes adjust to it
your ribs will turn to lead
a figure burned into your head well
you’ll never be alone again i guess
(i am not a strain, nor am I empty)
you’ll never be alone again I guess
(i have yet to believe it but give it time)
you’ll never be alone again I guess
