It's my turn to make a move
I'll smile to hide the truth
Lips for exhibit A
Teeth from exhibit B
Let's lighten up the mood
I portray myself a certain way
That's all I put up on display
Laugh for exhibit C
Pose for exhibit D
The faces I convey
Use muscles like a tool
Pretend that everything is cool
Smirk for exhibit A
Glee for exhibit B
Looking like a fool
Had enough of acting like a fake
It's a feeling that I just can't shake
Frown for exhibit C
No more exhibit D
I'm sick of being fake
Honesty just isn't that easy
So I'll lie and say that it's pleasing
Honesty is never that easy
But yeah, it's much more pleasing
That's all that I can show
We've come to a close
There's nothing more that I can say
And if you want to know
If you really want to know
Then stick around for the artshow

Absolutely incredible album all the way through, you can really feel the pure passion put into every song and it's just so crazy how they managed to make every listen feel different every single time. Up there with the best midwest emo albums of ALL TIME anastasia!! ^_^
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
