wind chimes and the sprinklers at 3 a.m. i tried to redecorate my conscience accusing any regiment well i guess i'm really selling it every move i make is more degrading but they'd pay to imitate it come judgement day there's gonna be complications stressing me 'cause i'm where you wanna be but how does that make any sense it's too crowded in my head i've seen worse and i been worth less coming clean, i don't think ill ever accept it thoughts so invasive they pests still uncomfortable in my bed wanted more, that's not what i meant it's too crowded in my head such a chore to get out of bed can't rehearse the worse it get but if i let you lead me to the lion's den gonna let you feel a little deviant mosquitoes buzzing through my window screen i was right but it was instinct not prophecy know my logic delicate but i sell it like it's dexterous i didn't mean to be so entertaining want the truth then complain about it don't need a muse just distorted imagination stressing me 'cause i'm where you wanna be but how does that make any sense it's too crowded in my head say you're cursed, i think you're just bored of all of it still sore and dangerous i know you're leading me right into the lion's den anticipating all the fantasies you'll feed me again looking for me, swear i'm not where you wanna be it doesn't need to make sense still uncomfortable, i can't rest got nothing to say, well you can get left it's too crowded in my head i've seen worse and i been worth less i don't know if it's worth it i've exploited all of my darkness new phone, can't trust 'cause you swore it was all for us pantomimes, breaking necks for my attention tragedy or divine intervention appreciate the sentiment but it don't alleviate the permanence but i appreciate the sentiment i must be really selling it

i've never felt this empty before cry to myself fade out once more wait for the day when i see you again am i in love? am i playing pretend? call out to me as a means to an end who is there to blame when you run out of friends? distracted and helpless i vanish so selfishly your magic is working i'm panicked and worsening why did they leave? what am i doing wrong? where can we meet when you're already gone? why am i here, staying up until dawn? waiting out here, waiting ever so long i'm sorry, i fucked up i'm sorry, there's no trust i'm sorry, so helpless distracted and selfish i've never felt this empty before cry to myself fade out once more i've never felt this empty before cry to myself fade out once more it's enough to tempt me leave me feeling empty feelings i know satan sent me it's enough to send me reeling i'm just waiting for you text and i ignore you rain and let it pour through talk to me like poor you i'm sorry, i fucked up i'm sorry, there's no trust i'm sorry, so helpless distracted and selfish

you saw that i was rough around the edges and inside them you called and i came now fall in love with my faults and i'll stop trying to hide them call out my name 'cause you called and i came i know when you're close drains my will not to follow where you go and i'd break if you put me down and i've been too good and you've been too good we will never be anything more we will never be anything more

about

*** buy CD + download with bonus tracks @ povertyelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/anhedonia-redux ***
(bonus tracks include 4 additional compositions + 2 alternate versions + 4 instrumental versions)

a collaboration between my 23- and 28-year-old selves. 5 years ago i released my debut album, anhedonia. even when i first released it, i felt it was maybe lacking in some regards, but i wasn't sure how to improve on it without compromising the album's structure and cohesion so i settled for what it was. i took my time on it and had some ambitious ideas but lacked the technical skill to execute them the way i would've liked. the mixes were muddy despite not much going on, the percussion stuck out awkwardly, and i used the same few synths and drum samples for the whole thing. but there were nice melodies and track concepts that i felt compelled to revisit and see if i could do them justice and make the album as beautiful as i imagined it being. so here it is. the first sadfem album. again. but finally up to my own standards.

you can still download the original anhedonia album from the discography folder accessible to $5+ patrons @ patreon.com/sadfem
