youtubular Seriously impressive second album from Kim Elliot. My favourite album of the year so far and definitely something you should not let go under the radar. Look out because SENTRIES is gonna be the next big thing out of Canada.

Everything is happening all at once we're so stylish, you and I The only world I knew was leasing out my mind for a big slice of your eyes And I'm selling bitcoin to the middle schoolers on the red socket All I had to do was keep an old dime in my pocket Do you remember how we used to run? We'd scale the hill until the skin of our shins were burnt Monarch gets away from me But I'm too tired to run And if I could hear your eyelids blink just one more time It'd carry deep within me But I can't And you won't So I paint my walls instead For half my life I was on my knees for you For half my life I was on my knees for you I was on my knees On my knees for her I was on my knees

Semantic satiation here The moon is told to curb the tears The airport jungle juice for you A lairy man came flinging lead He asks how is that for grass fed How many fools? The soft waves of romantic prose The fraying wind that comes from Hell She took the pill and struck the pose Never returns home feeling well But does she still exist to you? How many fools?

Oh god Dinner bait Raking a corpse around my yard It's late, her traits Frenetical book on top Charlie There's snow Over there Keep coming in and her Satanic garden It's blonde Hate's strong The fire is out and I'm selecting God For my Temple of bread and resistors Of hers It's bad RadioShack ain't coming back This year God For my Temple of bread and resistors Of hers It's bad RadioShack ain't coming back This year For you The fire is out and I'm selecting God For my Temple of bread and resistors Of hers It's bad RadioShack ain't coming back This year For you The fire is out and I'm selecting

I pray for the pain to reach me So I could feel human like you Why'd they apprehend the Bee Gees? So they could be the ones holding the noose Ohhhh wow You've really done it now Ding, ding, ding, ding

Witches 03:37
Dark green with cosmic flame Deprived of all mind games Pleiades call my name A love letter to shame Obscured by Lethe's waves Whilst unable to shave This rising fog will be So meaningless to me It's coming over me Verdigris pedigree Torching all I can see The gripping spell on me Red switches off and flaming The rigid waves are bleeding From delta waves transmission Ouroboros ignition, oh IT STARES The witch inside us all Bright blue with cellophane A good writer engaged A great writer insane Devour the subplane Reality so clear Has all the answers here Look at your own two ears My favorite time of year It's coming over me Verdigris pedigree Torching all I can see The gripping spell on me Red switches off and flaming The rigid waves are bleeding From delta waves transmission Ouroboros ignition, oh IT STARES The witch inside us all

Force 03:32
Why do I get high Why do I get high Why do I get high Why do I get WAOW Hi hello I'm your very own postman Hi hello I'm your violent neighbor Hi hello I'm your English muffin Hi hello I'm your corporate lawyer Hi hello I'm your very own postman Why do I get high Why do I get high Hi hello I'm your English muffin Hi hello I'm your corporate lawyer Force Force I wanna work with you I wanna work with you I wanna I wanna work with you I wanna work with you I wanna I wanna work with you I wanna work with you I wanna I wanna work with you I wanna work with you I wanna take a bath Take a nap Go for a run Have a stretch Morning coffee Delivering cat trees and Making some money and Paying your parents Take a bath Take a nap Go for a run Have a stretch Morning coffee Delivering cat trees and Making some money and Paying your parents Take a bath Take a nap Go for a run Have a stretch Morning coffee Delivering cat trees and Making some money and Paying your parents Oh And never Again

Séance 05:00
You have no right to gaze on me With your mortal eyes So tiny The skin enticing to horses In the winter You come undone Strolling around in skinny skies And finalize The next ennui Or do we fall It's coming Undress me with your semantics To satiate And bite the nails Depress him with a lazy eye They're walking straight Into my trap Address me with the tedium And skin the bear For staying warm We stay so warm We wait to swarm

When you look close enough When there's no trace of life Sterile, no heart, no touch And the sun's glow Like atoms in snow It crumbles down Into the grey Once again everything crumbles apart A particle of death A beam of hate No love is left on this Smouldering stone No heart, no touch Just snow When you stare deep enough Into the white void The verdigris comes and Torches your voice If you lay close to me Just for one year I'll tear you apart and I will Swallow your choice Once again everything's vaporized An article of death A science of fate No love, bereft of feeling Carcinogen No life, no heart No taste A bird drops like wet snow Coming off the chandelier Turning Breaking paper bones Marrow melting everywhere Buries her The tape runs out, cup flows over Other shoe drops, her mouth agape The tape runs out, cup flows over Other shoe drops, her mouth agape The tape runs out, cup flows over Other shoe drops, her mouth agape The tape runs out, cup flows over Other shoe drops, her mouth agape
