Thin
Lyrics and music by Michael Louis
Something tripped inside my brain
Makes me starve ‘til I see my veins
So ashen, so gaunt
I’ll never have the skin I want
No, I’m not dead enough
I’ll never sweat enough
Can’t make it out today
Don’t check if I’m okay
I can’t go on this way
Please make me disappear!
Can’t fit into a thing
I hang on by a string
Can’t run again ‘til Spring
Please make me beautiful!
Nothing to purge today
I think I’ll splurge today
This cycle of agony
Holds me down like gravity
Can’t make it out today
Don’t check if I’m okay
I can’t go on this way
Please make me disappear!
Can’t fit into a thing
I hang on by a string
Can’t run again ‘til Spring
Please make me beautiful!
Body dysmorphia
Visual dementia
Energized by my fatigue
Slave to anorexia
Tailored hysteria
Prisoner of my routine
In silent suffering
I won’t ingest a thing
To be normal once again…
Please get this plague out of my head
Can’t make it out today
Don’t check if I’m okay
I can’t go on this way
Please make me disappear!
Can’t fit into a thing
I hang on by a string
Can’t run again ‘til Spring
Please make me beautiful!

One Dance
Lyrics and music by Michael Louis
There is no future, just misdirection
Stars don’t align, to form close connections
No magic trick, to cast your safe protection
No potion will kill your infection
There’s just one chance, and just one dance
There’s action, reaction,
And distraction
There’s just one chance, there’s just one dance
And secrets that follow you
And trials that hollow you
And defeat that torment you
Then it’s cut to act two
Spare me your moral delusion
There is no final conclusion, to embrace
There is only mass confusion
Fear and suspicion, and keys to a barren space
Nothing upon nothing
There’s just one chance, and just one dance
Time keeps us waiting in toxic fixation
Hope pacifies us for the duration
No mystic will grant you salvation
No redress, or rise from your station
And peril will reshape you
And pleasure just escapes you
And knowledge suffocates you
While you pass on through
Spare me your moral delusion
There is no final conclusion, to embrace
There is only mass confusion
Fear and suspicion, and keys to a barren space
Nothing upon nothing
There’s just one chance, and just one dance
Spare me your moral delusion
There is no final conclusion to embrace
Just one chance, and just one dance

Raising Ghosts
Lyrics and music by Michael Louis
Broken manchild
Dives from the rooftop
Whispering specters
Have gatecrashed his young mind
He fell, to hell
As you passed him by
So easy to ignore,
So thin and demure
It’s so easy to set the boy aside
And give attention, give attention,
Give attention to the girl!
Praise her worst moments in time
Hate, castigate
The boy who’s falling out of line
Celebrate, elevate
The girl who’s guilty of the same crime
Branded obsolete,
His future is void
Labeled pariah
We all must avoid
His pain, his shame
To scorn is fair game
So easy to cast away
When “boys are all the same”
This road won’t lead to equality
Held to different standards
When only one gets slandered
Independence cancels out chivalry!
Hate, castigate
The boy who’s falling out of line
Celebrate, elevate
The girl who’s guilty of the same crime
Less time for her, more time for him
Make it painful to be in his skin
Less time for her, more time for him
Make it painful to be in his skin

Absolutely one of my favorite goth rock bands and albums!! I listen to this album on repeat sometimes; it just never gets old to me. It’s so haunting and beautiful in places and dark and gritty in others, which makes it exemplary goth rock music in my opinion. Exactly the kind of listening experience I want and enjoy so much. Thank you <3

Atmospheric and morbid, oh-so-groovy and danceable - I love it!

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
