lyrics

What you see is what you get

A person I won’t regret

Living these lies like their distant memories

Shaping my own life, the way it needs to me

To a soul that had a home

When the leaves seem to roam

When the oceans dry up and the sun goes dark

Hearts have sailed and this journey needs to start

When I came out from a dark place

And I didn’t know a single face

When the world made no sense

And your soul felt like my birthplace

The universe is calling out to you

Where emotions seem to forever loom

It’s not a fallacy these feelings are true and true and true

What you see is what you get

A person I won’t regret

Living these lies like their distant memories

Shaping my own life, the way it needs to me

The Runts Los Angeles, California

Reality After Reality...

It's so hard to choose, because all the songs are so good. Retail Hell probably edges out the rest since I heard it first, but they're all great songs. neutraldorm

I never dug single sided records because it seems a waste of vinyl but holy hell is this slab fucking worth it. 3 amazing songs that leave you wanting more. The female vox on the 3rd song add a lot to the whole package. So glad to have grabbed this, and looking forward to the physical copy of the next release. tall trees

Va falloir trouver un moyen de faire venir des bands de musique d'ailleurs en Abitibi en dehors du FMEAT parce qu'aller à Montréal aller voir un spectacle ça prend du temps et ça coûte cher. J'aurais bien aimé voir ce groupe... Lavinie Cloutier
