Am C G
I can tell the future
I can see it in my dreams
But I can never ask
What it really means
Repeating sequences of life
Soaked in familiarity
Is it my narcoleptic brain
Or can I really see
F E7 Am
And I get scared
That I'll never dream again
And I get scared
That my dreams will never end
And I'm tired
Tired
Dreamed about the red sun
Burning hot above our heads
Breathing smoke into our lungs
Choking on the forest
And I don't want to sleep
Anymore all the time
And I don't want to dream
Every time I close my eyes
And I get scared
That I'll never dream again
But I get scared
That my dreams will never end
And I'm tired
Tired

Mold Mansion (Demo)

Mold mansion felt like a home
Under my feet were the mushrooms I'd grown
The dripping and cold suits me fine
As long as I don't need my mind
Isn't it weird when you have to
Relearn how to breathe
Relearn how to breathe
Sometimes the people we hate
Are also the people we once thought were great
And the people we learn to trust
Are sometimes the ones who will hurt us the most
And the people who love us for who we are
Are sometimes the people who we try to push far
Cause we've been told that we're hard to love
So we hold our breath, say we won't come back up
Isn't it weird when you have to
Relearn how to breathe
Relearn how to breathe
Relearn how to breathe
Relearn how to breathe
Isn’t it weird when you have to
Relearn how to breathe?

The Mass (Demo)

I knew where I was going but I'm not good with signs
I have a hard time taking orders
I wish I had the guts to call out your lines
We could start tearing down these borders
And I worry about you
And I worry about everyone else
Cause the particles make up
The mass
We're not far from hell, I can feel it
But at least we'll be warm
Kid, I hope you understand this
You're part of an ongoing war
We've been playing shirts against skins
Our skin has made up the way that we live
The fabric won't cover up the sins
We won't forget, we won't forgive
And I worry about you
And I worry about everyone else
Cause the particles make up
The mass
The mass
The mass
The mass
The mass

Preh(E)rstoric
by Felecia and the Dinosaur
There's something spiritual, otherworldly in this album. It's light where you need it, and heavy in just the right places. For fans of: feminist alt-country. Favorite track: Sacred Sacrum.

I listened to this when it first came out, and then didn't really return to it... until this month. Listening to "You were Cool" realed me in, and since then the whole album has become a huge safety blanket for me - singing "up the wolves" to myself to get myself to stop crying on the bus, etc. etc. This is too much to say in a Bandcamp Review but I need to say it somewhere, this is gonna be one of those albums I look back on in ten years and think "that one saved my life"
