Never quite first or last
Remarkably inoffensive, upset but safe
The story of the middle class
With bandages on your thumbs to ease the pain
Of turning the page again
But it’s still the same book, and you know how it ends
Something got lost
When your parents gave up and bought this house
Something got lost in the youth that was passed down to you
It was tainted and watered down
You were an easy kid to raise
And of that you’re clinically self-aware
But now you’re white-knuckle pissed off
With soft skin and helmet hair
Something got lost
It was the innocence to fight back
Something got lost
It was a danger you could wrap your head around
Something got lost
Maybe they didn’t see it in you, like in themselves
Something got lost
Maybe they hid it like a present, on the highest shelf

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
