You Could Live and Die This Way 02:40
lyrics

a painted pattern stains my brain bringing back bad memories and bad dreams drying in the cracks and wrinkles i feel my chest swell up and my heart parts my ribs similar to the way you would part your hair and i cannot breathe air unless you are there beside me on the bed we share skin glides over skin close your eyes and breathe in deep close your eyes and breathe in me there's a vein in your eye that spells a name that isn't mine it extends over your brow and into the sky

closed my eyes and felt fine sand squishing between my toes in a fantasy land (not riddled with seashells like the beach hell that makes me feel so unwell) was this a dream, i couldn't scream when i couldn't see past the edge of a blood red sea maybe i lied when i said that we could try to see things eye to eye don't cry return to the living world in a stupor (dried drool in my beard, wet spot on my pillow) but what's new????? i can't say that i never thought to try don't cry please don't cry my head is in medicine i met a sin so menacing i bled out in my bed again embedded in my bed again found dead in my bed again i slipped out of my skin

you grabbed it's heart but i don't care if you ask me you're nothing but a waste of air so useless what a shame ill-equipped to play this game you're traumatized i think thats fine dirty fingernails from digging into what is mine you would just die if you saw the way we play when youre away i keep a tally of all the mistakes you've made i already won i won't complain you and i we are not the same black mascara, cry into the crease i hardly noticed you exist guess what i've been soliciting snakes to sink their teeth into your skin guess what i've been soliciting snakes to sink their teeth into your skin

despair wrapped it's hand around my neck with tears in my eyes you pulled me closer an erection a thought, there's a bridge an image, there's my body merrily, merrily, merrily gently down the stream merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream

about

“Died Alone - What Is Precious... sounds like the tape that an emo child finds in a store and doesn't realize it isn't from 1998 but from this year. Somewhere in between, all over, and maybe slightly just around Bay area pop-punk such as early Jawbreaker and San Diego post-punk by way of post hardcore such as Drive Like Jehu... or even the San Diego Ramones for people with messy heads aka Trumans Water.

Died Alone as a recorded band has developed a solid funky punk rhythm section that enables them to do whatever they desire vocally and guitar-wise. If whoever is doing vocals desires to cry then they may, and if whoever is doing guitar desires to let some feedback wail in the song then why not? The lyrics run around in a very stream-of-thought type of way and because of this it may be difficult to understand what the songs are about. Projection works really well with the obscure esoteric feelings of emotionally distraught mystery bands; so I think they're about being sexually frustrated, being watched by the government, being sad and being OVER IT~!

The bass and drums vacillate between being just so absolutely feral and like chewy pink bubble gum. Yeah, in a post-punk primordial type of way one minute and then like a favorite pop-punk band the next. Like angular rocks falling onto a bouncy house. They keep the unhinged shredding of the guitar in a violent goofy state. Died Alone doesn't seem to want to be remembered as anything and the laughing hurts too much.” - MS

“ Deep breath, exhale*

Died Alone’s latest EP, “What Is Precious To You Means Nothing To Me…” embarks on a journey of vulnerability with gusto and conviction. Take a dive into these anthemic melodies with zipping riffs and woozy woes. The shouted lyrics and bellowing bass lines are sure to keep your energy high, even at Reyes’ “lowest points” on the album. Clocking in at 14 mins, find yourself entangled in the high highs and the low lows that will keep you wanting more. Died Alone, but together for the full ride.” - LO
