Paltry Sum was written in Gainesville, Florida in 2019.
lyrics
words you spoke inside my head
anxiety fills me with dread
don't laugh it off when I admit
emboldened lies have made me quit
the ashen grip of our lost cause
haunts me still cause there's no key
or evidence of time that's passed
i held you close
still my love for you
is a paltry sum
can't be the one
i won't play the part
one weeks time
is one price to pay
let's spend some time
with you it slips away
blinded by light, the glitter and fame
you can moan you can whine but it's all the same
choices we've made
blame it on fate
causality claims us all at the slate
time spent alone and the plates licked clean
grown to close to yourself
there's no space in between
remember the words you said to me
held me close
still my love for you
is a paltry sum
can't be the one
i won't play the part
one weeks time
is one price to pay
let's spend some time
with you it slips away
Swirling goth-rock from the big voice behind '90s outfit Sunshine Blind, featuring a who's-who of dark underground denizens. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2020
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
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
This is a stunningly great comp of goth, death rock, darkwave and post punk. You may not recognize all the bands here, but believe me when I say you want to keep these bands on your radar, because many of them are primed to breakout. This comp represents the bleeding edge of the true underground of current dark music, and is not to be missed if you want to be ahead of the curve. The Obscura Undead crew has done an excellent job curating an absolutely essential comp for the modern goth scene. acidbitter
