lyrics

and didn't he look different
when you were staring through the camera lens
at the skin he was embedded in
like a star within the firmament

so you memorized and practiced him
as if he were a sacrament
you thought remaining abstinent
might make your love more passionate

exhibitionist and visionary
magdalene and mother mary
missionless in missionary

if the lord would make a composite
of all the people that you've kissed
and burden them with consciousness
they'd maybe be your opposite

exhibitionist and visionary
magdalene and mother mary
missionless in missionary

think of this one while you're sharing
wisdom with the kids you'll carry
missionless in missionary

missionless in missionary

...

as the record plays
jesus writes our names down
and the feeling fades away

i find your sacred heart
and kiss it in the dark as
we hear the needle march and sway

then the record ends
we straighten up the bed we
rustled up and left unmade

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
