These winter lights Delight my eyes oh oh Sweet Christmas Sugar Tastes like home Sweet Christmas Sugar Snowflake on my tongue Peppermint kiss From Mother's lips oh oh Behold the brightest star She glows, she glows oh oh Sweet Christmas Sugar Tastes like home Sweet Sugar Christmas Snowflake on my tongue Do you remember when Not long ago Lives a bride in heaven She grew the whitest snow Behold the angels sing Good will to all men's machines Rejoice lets go! Rejoice let's go! These winter lights Delight my eyes oh oh Behold the brightest star She glows, she glows oh oh Sweet Christmas Sugar Tastes like home Sweet Sugar Christmas Snowflake on my tongue

Everyday, get's colder When you're dark. I feel the tension, no movement in your smile. You draw down the window shades Lock me out of every door My heart will never say your name It's silent to my grave There you stand Twisted inside the sky Sweet earth below us Hid the devil in your eyes You draw down the window shades Lock me out of every door My heart will never say your name It's silent to my grave Where were you When angels fell over me I've broken free-alive In this ghost lived fire You draw down the window shades Lock me out of every door My heart will never say your name It's silent to my grave And when I see you all alone You've bought a distance inside your mind Why do you act like you're all holy I'm going to watch you Burn Everyday gets colder When you're dark I feel the tension, no movement in your smile You draw down the window shades Lock me out of every door My heart will never say your name It's silent to my grave

Denial Lives in a corporate space Somewhere between the earth and atmosphere When I call your name Why don't you respond? Number to a face You've disappeared Look how we've failed Look how we've sold our lives Foolishly wasting time away Holes punched in cards blood sweat and pain stealing time to prey upon your soul A forgotten kiss A dream is missed Drowning through a sea of hopeless thoughts Look how we've failed Look how we've sold our lives Foolishly wasting time away forever forever forever hell no hell no hell no

Here I stand in liberation Bring lightness from the dark Shots of tranquility When I spread my legs apart I'll screw you domination I'll screw you domination I'll screw you domination I'll tear your world apart You can't live By the lies that your told You have to practice loud and practice to be bold You force intimidation Slut shaming sinful art Suppressed defiant needs Stole my body, soul and heart I'll screw you domination I'll screw you domination I'll screw you domination I'll tear your world apart You can't live By the lies that your told You have to practice loud and practice to be bold You can't live a lie And practice what you preach It's time to make a change It's not far out of reach You can't mend your mortality When your morality's the damaged part Misuse of education They'll spin a mindful tale Ignorant proclamations My sex will burn in hell We'll screw you domination We'll screw you domination We'll screw you domination Let's tear this world apart You can't live By the lies that your told You have to practice loud and practice to be bold You can't live a lie And practice what you preach It's time to make a change It's not far out of reach

Tainted Pale 05:31
Tainted pale Staring out my window pane Watching the world around me Fall apart Dim the lights Haunted widow hold your scream Hold your breath, don't try to speak Or we will die They've got us wrapped around their desparate measures With our blood stains on the walls Here I stand Dressed up for my morbid dream Holy saints bless the room for you and I Winter's kiss Tipped hat for the lost brigade Burning wishes, guilty games Last goodbye They've got us wrapped around their desparate measures With our blood stains on the walls Do you remember? These nights we lived in torture? She calls She calms me down to sleep We're gonna die! Tainted pale Staring out my window pane Watching the world around me Fall apart Dim the lights Haunted widow hold your scream Hold your breath, don't try to speak Or we will die They've got us wrapped around their desparate measures With our blood stains on the walls

about

Readership Hostile Los Angeles, California

Readership Hostile is a cathartic collision of deathrock, post-punk, early punk and contemporary psych propelled by an effervescent, force-of-nature frontwoman.

Darkly ornate yet visceral, the band ambushed its native Los Angeles with a string of startling performances in 2013, before bottling its organic on-stage aura into a brutally beautiful debut EP.
