You can find this song's companion track, "Affliction #1," on my album "Best Dead Masterpiece" (2021).
lyrics
Affliction #2
As a backwoods kid
I always felt both
Too cerebral and too stupid
Nothing worse than a faint
Undefined neurodivergence
The fear of being revealed
Bloomed in my brain
I didn’t even know I had you till today
I could be sick or just a prick
So stuck on what I need to cope
That I forget their needs
IT’S NOT ABOUT ME FOR GOD'S SAKE
Their lives are rich tomes on which I don’t amount
To a swatted gnat
And I’m more than fine with that
But the problem is in remembering this
When the foul obsession sets in
The nitpicking, fear, and loathing whirlwind
Intimate pop; Bollinger's vocals sound almost confidential as she muses on relationship neuroses over woozy, breezy instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2019
A moody, enveloping record from Zane Coppard, where dense and intricately crafted atmospheres cradle yearning vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2021
Hushed atmospheric music that goes from fragile bedroom folk to tastefully ornamented ’60s pop a la The Free Design. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2020
