“the CIA” by glass beach with Run For Cover Records
lyrics:
can’t help but fall into your arms
blink at every false alarm
there is nothing i can do
to separate myself from you.
yeah you’re my panopticon
with your radar always on
empty cells in hollow dens
a reflection in your lens.
always terrified
under a spell
wiretap my head
i’m a chemical well
horrified, nothing to hide this emptiness
always terrified
under a spell
wiretap my head
i’m a chemical well
your vacant eyes
is your surveillance tenderness?
lost without your love
there’s a war inside us
i can’t help but volunteer this heart
for the fear when we’re apart
in the belly of the beast
born are we as ambergris.
happy in your eagle eye
til the aqueducts run dry.
hung on every word you say
oh we love the CIA.
always terrified
under a spell
wiretap my head
i’m a chemical well
horrified, nothing to hide this emptiness
always terrified
under a spell
wiretap my head
i’m a chemical well
your vacant eyes
is your surveillance tenderness?
lost without your love
in your teeth, on your mind
your sympathy’s a waste of time
little blinking light you hide behind
i can’t help it i keep coming back to you
cut through the artery suck the blood
cut through the artery suck the blood
can’t help but fall into your arms
blink at every false alarm

This one continues the trend of glass beach songs for me. Which is “each time I relisten to it it gets exponentially better”.

[@EakiTurtle]

am currently doing this, can confirm it just gets better

[@Scroolewse]

the first time I heard it I thought "meh it's pretty good" and ended up saving it on Spotify even though I usually don't for songs I'm not thrilled with. Been listening to it a lot more these last couple days. It's awesome. My first time listening to Glass Beach tho

[@NeatNat]

my earbuds are really nice but whenever I smile they kinda go out of my ear just a bit so I can’t hear whatever I’m listening to as well so this entire song I was trying really hard not to smile so I could listen to the song in the highest quality possible and it was really hard to not smile while listening to this

[@kemix1357]

glass beach is one of my favorite bands

[@8thguy633]

"Happy in your eagle eye 'Til the aqueducts run dry Hung on every word you say Oh we love the CIA" THIS LINE GOES SO HARD
