when i start to fold
i can feel it in my back first
and then my heels
this time i think its real
hammer came down hard today
smashed me to the ground
and put me in my place
it seems right to be afraid
so when i start to fold
and i feel it in my back first
and then my heels
my skin is getting cold
and its feeling like i've pulled
the battery
from a perpetual motion machine
generating bad energy
all the bones in my body
grind to a halt
crumbling
i dont like what im becoming
consider what an action means
get fired up while losing steam
and i can't generate my own heat
or just think electrically
find all your joy synthetically
while the perpetual motion machine
is generating bad energy
all the bones in my body
grind to a halt
crumbling
i dont like what im becoming
so when i start to fold
i guess i could try to resist first
or maybe scream
but my skin is getting cold
and its feeling like i've pulled
the battery
from a perpetual motion machine

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
The Seams' jangly pop is full of lovely melodic twists and elegant turns-of-phrases delineating the quotidian details of love and romance. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018
