Glad to see people still finding out about Dalys. I remember I found out about them when they were one of the openers at a catch 22 show (or was it streetlight... it was a while ago 😅) in NYC. They blew me away and stuck with me more than any other band that played that night. I remember when this song came out I played it to death. I love the time period where there were a small handful of people just mixing shit up genre wise. No one did it and more seamlessly than Dalys.
Breathe me in like air, innocent. My fingers bleed. I've been writing too much. Preventing these words from searing my battered throat. And I can't even scream so I sketch your face. Each line was a cry. Each curve bore blindness. Prevent my arms from failing. Limitless expressions to your face I can't conform, But give hands the chance voice wouldn't have. It was the first time that our words kissed, but our lips, they didn't even touch. No skin on skin. The first time in my life that I existed. And each time that we breathed, we were reborn. We're reborn each time we breathe. These nights were gaining strength yet losing ground. A short-lived grace. Your tongue! I taste your ways with a pen in my hand, in my hand, in my hand. I taste your ways. Well, in a matter of time my life went from day to night, incriminating textures. Where on earth did you go? What happened to us? With this retouching paint, I will use a brush, apply it to your canvas. This was once a beautiful painting. Each lasting memory will control each word that I write. And I used to think that my hands could dance. I only needed to hold myself up. You were never a crutch as you tore me away like this fringed papers' edge. You were never a crutch? But now I see my hand's been broken for quite some time. These memories impale the senses to this day. I'm broken.
I know, so let's go The silence is binding; the stars are aligning Despite the sunshine I still think I'm dying In the worst way Crashing my insides, erasing the highlights Since you've last asked me Nah bro, I'm not all right Cause lately I've been fighting for everyone but myself My heart is a wound spilling blood that I just can't help If I ever make it out of Korea I'll never be cold I traded my youth for a lifetime of misery If I were a mirror, No Sir, I couldn't look at me In searching things both past and present You learn what matters you learn what doesn't Trippin' deep on your persona Now you got me thinking of ya Speak me Phoenician term Beautiful How beautiful is that! I'll give you my life for a term worth of memory If I were you mirror, no Love? Could you look at me? In searching things both black and white You learn what's color, you learn what's light Trippin deep on your persona Now you got me thinking of ya Speak me Phoenician term Eternal How beautiful is that! Take me tonight. To candle lights All expenses paid, book mark my page and make me gorgeous Take me tonight. To candle lights All expenses paid, book mark my page and make me Murder was the gun that she gave us! In the backseat for humanity Put your weapon to my chest so I can feel something... Feel something! If we went in hopes for something Drove 1000 and fell on nothing Bind our hands, eject our seatbelts Say our last before our knees felt the burn on the concrete The smell of the wreckage So this is what it's like to take your last breath Through a windshield. Oh, what a windshield
Been listening to this band for years.. he has a nice mix of scream and clean vocal. Also each folly song is like a book... every part of the song keep changing and leadind to another.. overall folly is fucking brilliant and i never found anything that sounds like it
