you could never love yourself if you meet me down here where i've fallen off help us up all things that pass someday come back anything else would be too inhuman but i can't, i can't, ah... you are so, so pure, you're pure and it hurts seeing you dirty come home and clean or be filthy faaa... it doesn't matter, oooh... and you're sorry for yourself, again but you've led me down here it could never be your fault, i won't let it i won't let it go, don't you go, not you i won't let it go, don't you go, it's not over all things that pass someday come back anything else would be too inhuman for her, the world someday comes back anything else would be too inhuman for her, the world comes back someday comes back anything else would be too inhuman it would make me sick oh, you could never kill yourself you're too wonderful you're too powerful you choose now you choose now you choose now you choose oh, it hurts, oh it burns

there really is no "right" you may do what you like in my eyes you'll always be fine in my eyes you'll always be mine will my love be your roots or your flowers too? you must grow away, high away then hide away or stay there's an absence of strength as you become what you want to wherever you grow, your love comes up from your roots this love has been our roots
5.
there's a catch, where there's you there's a catch, and whatever you do you'll say your bait, "You'll be glad you had this time." there's a catch, where there's you there's a catch, it's baiting us back last chance masks his fancy, lost and asking to hold up hands never heard so many kind, ignorant things since we've been here, speaking only smoke at you, we do we sing to your breathing you're holding up our hands you're holding down our heads you'll bring us back

she's not human, she's stuck into tunes and this is proving life's tall beauty life's tall beauties are nothing new, just stuck inside my stubborn mind's eye stuck inside my stubborn mind's eye, ooh and it loves you, only you come in and out of sight so i've let you go let you go alone alone she's not human, she's stuck out of tune and this is proving life's tall beauty's nothing new and only lies and its feet are covered in tiny assholes leavin' shit wherever they step attention demanding's not necessary it's filling my lungs and it's been breathing out smoke around you around you

there's not much to say about the end of days it's okay but it's the same sideways but there's a use in standing up straight if all i can do is be the magnitude of my haze alone in a building of brutalist style i transform my thoughts onto each tile but in my haze i don't see what's easily spanned 'cause my thoughts exceed the tiles and gee, i'm reduced again he's in the clouds and honestly i hail herm but herm don't hail me i hail herm but hermitian philosophy the conjugates not what it's assumed to be alone in a building by some architect i wonder if they know my thoughts don't fit for the shapes are just far too cubic it's making me sick, the way they twist my thoughts upon it talking small talk politics herm says my opinions ain't worth shit herm says my opinions ain't worth and honestly i'm in the clouds and up here small talk's amplified so loud he's in the clouds and honestly i hail herm but herm don't hail me i hail herm but hermitian philosophy the conjugates not what it's assumed to be

we've been misplaced and placed inside of you i've seen the smallest trace inside me too we've been misplaced and placed inside of me too
13.
i'd like to take you home and show you a secret i'd like to hug your smile, cut it out and keep it when you bring us back to wherever you want to wax on, wax off alone with you i'm not a dog 'cuz i'm smart enough to be evil and yet, i'll take your heart's core and cage it like an animal i'll keep the keys inside my pocket when you bring us back to wherever you want to wax on, wax off all over you you'll bring us back to wherever you want to look out one thought leads to another five and they each imply a life lived all alone but in time i hope you learn to love yourself yourself i'll wax on, wax off that's all it ever means to me

about

Pleasantries Chicago, Illinois

Although they claim to be entirely human, Pleasantries’s music is at times as dark as Satan or as lovely as a chorus of angels. Animated videos, boundless guitar shredding, and an effortless fusion of indie rock, symphonic instrumentals, and synthwave grooves meet influences like Jack Stauber, Bill Wurtz and Tally Hall. ... more
