Trust me this time everything will be okay
Once you're settled it'll all fall into place
No doubt about it you've hit the mark
You’ve done this before what's another fresh start
I'm not doing better
I'm better off than most
I'm not doing better
I'm running out of rope
I try so hard I try so hard
I try to feel at home
I try so hard I try so hard
I wanna be a ghost
Packing memories filling boxes to the brim
Submerged in my past is an upstream swim
Living in my mind is a house made of stone
Cradled in nightmares and swaddled in hope

Can you hear what I'm saying?
The past is gone
We can’t change it
Present is here for the taking
It's up to you how we shape it
Praying at the city's shrine
Praying at the city’s shrine
All I ask is that you try
Sleeping under bridges you burn
How long will it take
until you learn
There's no trust left
to discern
No trust to discern

Too young too young
I was too young
Too drunk too drunk
I was too drunk
Too punk too punk
You were too punk
Stay away from me
Stay away from them
We deserve more than the sins you indulge in
The sins you indulge in
I was passed out on the bar
And I was passed out on the floor
You took it to fucking far
But it doesn't matter
You climbed that social ladder
Where’s my fucking autonomy?
I'll just be here in the grave
In the body you took from me
I was too young

Loss Abound

Walking a tightrope gotta balance my act
Inching forward but I keep falling flat
Keepsakes and letters blanket the floor
Pushing and pulling my heart through your door
Everybody’s getting rid of everything these days
Trying to navigate this unending maze
Unfinished puzzles sitting on the table
Faces of the dead stuck to old candles
Resisting orderly monotony
Making myself believe
This is all i need
Home is that cold dark place in my mind
I'm falling into cycles of unfettered time
Whistling willows whip the clouds
Fattened with secrets of shame and doubt
Shaking the fear of loss abound
This ain’t the worst you’ve gone through now
Resisting
Making myself believe
This is all i need

I blame all I fear on you
I blame all I've done on you
I’ve had it up to here with you
I’m always on the run
Learning to let go of pain
Reclaiming power you take
I will move forward today
I’m breaking down these walls
Taunting me at your fence
I’m not seeking your revenge
You’re not worth my time
I’ve already put my life on that line
Open, open up now I’m waiting
Set me, set me free now I’m ready

Tropes of Lore

I’ve seen this tale play out before
Postured as a talking point
Acting as were in a war
Hoarding all our social coins
Leaning into tropes of lore
Fight till death do we part
Fear and worry at the door
Careful how you play your cards
Strangled by communication
We end up in isolation
Who's next? Who's on trial?
Silenced, buried, or exiled?
Cycles of harm can be broken
Egos bursting at the seams
Rumors draining all emotions
Shattering vitality
How do we protect each other
How do we hold ourselves accountable
From the inevitable harm we cause
How do we heal from the past and move forward
We can't do it like this we can't tear each other down okay I want us to be okay

Facade

Wake up play pretend
Fake it all till the end
I feel like such a fraud
This is all a facade
Ground I'm standing on
Feels shaky today
My head might explode
Maybe i’ll cave
I can't explain it
I can’t relax
Pulling myself out of near collapse
Lock it up
Shove it down
Bury it in the ground
Force a smile do no less
Give it all but don’t invest
Acting like I don’t exist
Make it so I can’t resist

Water Nymph - Heroic Pond of Love
by Water Nymph
supported by 4 fans who also own “Facade”
La source, c'est le lieu où se rencontrent des symboliques en opposition : les malheureux s'y noient dans le mensonge qu'est leur reflet et les preux chevaliers s'y révèlent ; c'est un écrin de nature où l'on peut avoir audience avec le surnaturel. C'est justement l'univers choisi par Water Nymph dans Heroic Pond, son premier album : on y retrouve le même dungeon synth marin avec cette fois plus de majesté — et on y entend les nymphes chanter et jouer du violon ! Une petite perle réconfortante.
