SJSunnaSutta Skepticism turned into conviction and soon I found myself adoring this song. It's got the classic "apathy / / misery" lyricism that is expected of Desolate, whilst still maintaining tight production and instrumentals.

To say the least, I am very excited for the future of this band.

All chapter references are from "Goodnight Punpun" (or "おやすみプンプン") by Inio Asano.

lyrics

for so long I lived in shades of black and white [1]
stuck in this monochrome sight
that was my life, my daily strife
a midwife to death's mother

but you found me in that night [2]
you saved my life, you filled my sight
you filled my sight with color

I'm not worth your time
please keep your distance
I know I'm not enough
I'll never be enough

I'm not worth your time
please keep your distance
what do you see
see in me?
how can you love the unloving?

I'd grown accustomed
to the razors self embedded; burning in my chest

you were a gift from romantic grace
my soul's not worthy
to find comfort in your taste

what did I do to deserve this lover
when I'm nothing but a hopeless poor motherfucker

poor motherfucker

I'm not worth your time
please keep your distance
I know I'm not enough
I'll never be enough

I'm not worth your time
please keep your distance
what do you see
see in me?
how can you love me?

you broke through my apathy and misery
I'm not the only lonely soul now that it's you and me

you're my "little scarlet, starlet, singin in the garden" [3]
kiss me with your open mouth

you're my "little harlot, starlet," Queen of Three Mile Island
raising hell till we go down
I'm not "sorry bout it"

I'm not "sorry bout it"
I'm not sorry...

...that you're my embracing light
you filled my sight
you filled my sight

I've lived my life
making the same mistakes; my mistakes
every mistake I'd make
left another heart to waste

"I might not be able to rescue everyone..."
I'm too late
"but at the very least
I want to save you from that fate" [4]

"I want to save you from that fate"
it's not too late

cause all I do
I do for you
I do for you
"because I love you" [5]

I'm not worth your time
please keep your distance
I know I'm not enough
I'll never be enough

I'm not worth your time (cause all I do, I do for you)
please keep your distance
what do you see (cause all I do, I do for...)
see in me?
