wide eyes
bright light
it’s life like
but not quite
it’s the strangest thing
another feeling
i’ll cling to it
but i know
there’s only room for flesh and bone
inside your home
how long did it take
to lay these stones?
to build those walls?
this home is something else to me
living proof of what could come to be
show me what it takes
to be this real
to have it all
life is something else to me
everything i ever want to be
i’ve seen the lanterns
and the engines
that keep you warm
you have the answers
to the questions
i can’t ignore the light
behind the door
the warmth that i’ve been looking for
the truth within the metaphor
what can i give, what can i give to stay?
between the rafters and the frames?
how long did it take
to lay these stones?
to build those walls?
this home is something else to me
living proof of what could come to be
show me what it takes
to be this real
to have it all
life is something else to me
everything i ever want to be
don’t mind me
i'm the draft pressed to your window
i’m not here yet
but i will be

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
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
