lyrics

I think these are our sunset days.
baptism by fire is how we’ll be saved.
do you mind? do you mind?
I’m trying not to think about it all of the time.
I’m fine, I swear to you I’m fine.
I’ll be fine until I’m losing my mind

smoke tricks messing with my head once again,
smoke tricks saying things I never said.
smoke tricks leaving my intestines on the floor.
smoke tricks saying you can’t do this anymore.
you can’t do this anymore.

I don’t know how to make it right,
(don’t say it’s alright, don’t say it’s alright)
hiding several shadows with smoke in your eyes.
everything I say is a waste of time;
lock me out of sight, lock me out of mind.
I would never blame you for hating who I
find myself becoming at the best of times.

smoke tricks messing with my head once again,
smoke tricks saying things I never said.
smoke tricks leaving my intestines on the floor.
smoke tricks saying you can’t do this anymore.
you can’t do this anymore.

smoke tricks messing with my head once again,
smoke tricks saying things I never said.
smoke tricks leaving my intestines on the floor.
smoke tricks saying you can’t do this anymore.
you can’t do this anymore.

Romanus Boston, Massachusetts

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!

Romanus recommends:

Exile
by Johanna Glaza

her ethereal and yet earthy voice, the muted piano, and the soft beats put one in mind of a woodland sprite wandering through a dark forest. this is dark and sad music, yet somehow soothing anyway. Romanus

Stray Fantasies
by Mint Julep

this album's smooth combination of crisp synthpop textures with analog sounds and piles of reverb-rich vocals stunned me. I was bopping while transcending into space; so much fun! Romanus
