The moon in the bureau mirror
looks out a million miles
and perhaps with pride
but she never smiles
far and away beyond sleep
perhaps she's a daytime daytime sleeper
into that world inverted
where left is always right
where the shadows are really the body
where we stay awake all night
where the heavens are shallow as the sea
is now deep, and you love me
By the Universe deserted
she don't tell to go to hell
and she don't find a body of water
or a mirror, on which to dwell
into that world inverted
where left is always right
where the shadows are really the body
where we stay awake all night
where the heavens are shallow as the sea
is now deep, and you love me

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
