Formaldehyde (EP)

1.
Hatred can fuel a war for hundreds of years, but love it always dies. Love Always Dies, love always ends. Why can't we live in a world where no one pretends that there's a happily ever after and years of laughter? 'Cause love always ends, Love Always Dies. Til death do us part, sabotaged from the start. Even when we make it through, love: it will still die. Love Always Dies, love always ends. Why can't we live in a world where no one pretends that there's a happily ever after and years of laughter? 'Cause love always ends, Love Always Dies. Love Always Dies, so what's the point? We only set ourselves up for disappointment. Lots of fights, sleepless nights. Inevitable lies, tearful goodbyes, Love Always Dies. Love Always Dies, love always ends. There's no happily ever after and no years of laughter. 'Cause love always ends. Love always ends. Love always ends, Love Always Dies.

My heart is tired of beating, beating for you. My skin has turned blue. You got me thinkin' bout, you got me thinkin' bout what I'm gonna do. What I'm gonna do with this life of mine. With my life without you, life without you. I must be honest; I see no future. All I see is the Dark and the Blue and the Grey. When all I saw before was black and white, but knowing you has forever changed my sight.

Big Hearts 05:10
Big Hearts get torn in two. They figure you got enough to spare, and it's your fault for caring. The wicked: they get ahead, and the fat get fatter. They count on the helpless, the needy and those with Big Hearts get torn in two. They figure you got enough, you got enough to spare, and it's your fault for sharing. You got your givers. You got your takers, but sooner of later the well will run dry, and what will you do then? What will you do then? Go to war? Settle the score? Big Hearts get torn in two. They figure you got enough, you got enough to spare, and it's your fault for caring. It's your fault.

Kill the rind, because the fruit, the fruit is rotten. Fuck December, a memory supposedly forgotten. Amputation of a Heart. Gangrenous, the wound it smells baking in the fires of hell. Amputation of a Heart.

about

TyLean Scotland, UK

TyLean goes beyond a vocalist with a power set of pipes; she's an envelope-pushing avant garde artist with a penchant for disturbing sights and sounds. With frequent use of dissonance, conflicting time signatures, a-tonal key signatures, nonscoreable instrumentation and lyrics that reflect a harsh perception of reality, TyLean's music has been described as Audial Terrorism. ... more
