Benn thinking about your imperfect style
how you always took a while
how all your clean clothes always end up in a pile
if I was back I'd take a snap of the morning light
lay in bed 'til it turns into night
Now I'm older than I've ever been before
playing games when it comes to love and war
yeah owner of a lonely heart, depart
thought I could finesse the pain if I played it smart.
Never thought of myself as a cliche,
but you got me fucked up feeling someway
Another lover feeling bored of order and ignored
leading to discord and solitude as award.
Ambitious by nature, I can't sit and wait here
it's like time for a glacier and I'm a dream chaser
Eternally grateful, when things go my way
so I sit here and pray for more days like today
when love can be felt like the rays of the sun
and I wake up reborn a more generous one
escape from the truth you've created and spun
when truthfully, I'm in my youth and I just wanna have fun
because my spring is in twilight
my wings are in mid flight
still healing from the spite
but won't give up the fight
love on the horizon of a prairie sunset
see it coming for miles and yet you still get wet
Can't help but stay safe and lay low on the mend
chasing rainbows as they go for the gold at the end
waiting for the right moment to fuck up again
played it so damn cool we got frozen as friends
but in my next life, i'll set it a light
got no worries about my past, out of mind out of sight
I guess all's well that ends well in the end
If I could take it all back I'd fuckin' do it again
Even now I think of you, I think of you.
Maybe next time I'll see it through, I'll get the clue.

Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
The impossible-to-pin-down new record from Pioneer 11 hopscotches across dance, psych, and modular synth music with glee. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2022
