Night Shift
04:00

Kick off your shoes
Jump hard on the couch
Get undressed everything
Take off your name too
The day is ending
The real you is beginning
Wear your hero costume
Your night shift starts now
YOU WILL DESTROY SINCERITY
YOU WILL KILL POETRY
THE FIRST ONE YOU MEET WILL FALL DOWN
ANYWAY ANYWAY
Your words are your cloak
You use it to wrap your instant lover
Your “ Spider Senses “
Drive you home after capture
Awful things have been done
Sex spoiled by drugs
The film is soaked with blood
This movie has no happy ending
SHE’S ALREADY DEAD

Silence

I’ve lost myself throught the city
On tape “ Never Mind The Bollocks ”
Aware of my weird situation
I face the day like a rock star
It’s not like the society wants
So I move my fucking ass just for me
IT’S THE SILENCE
IT’S THE SECRET OF MY SOUND
IT’S THE SILENCE
IT’S THE TRUTH IN A DARK AGE
I push my body throught the subway
On tape “ Rock The Casba ”
Not caring about sliding doors
I catch a train to nowhere
I’m crossing this long dark room
I have seen too many boys saying : ” Let’s Play War”
IT’S THE SILENCE
IT’S THE SECRET OF MY SOUND
IT’S THE SILENCE
IT’S THE TRUTH IN A DARK AGE

Weeping Sins

And now, here we are
To listen to the sound of my dreams
They’re almost mute
The few, that we had
Are bleeding into the sky
Of your prison city again
IF YOU DREAM A DREAM
THEY CAN’T KILL IT
AND IF YOU DECIDE TO JUMP
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE
And so, the time has come
To listen to the sound of your Weeping sins
And so, your friendly snake
Will slowly slide away
Searching for a new Adam to kiss
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE BABY
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE BABY
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE
I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE BABY
THIS IS MY GOODBYE BABY
THIS IS MY GOODBYE

A Freak

There was a boy
He lived in the LA town
He was playful
And he was a freak man
He never lived with himself
He never lived with himself help help help help
There is a boy
Now He’s in quarantine
He is so lonely
It’s time for the book of life
He never lived with himself
He never lived with himself help help help help
There is a boy
Now He’s in quarantine

Glass Factory

Hey baby it's too late
Tic toc on the clock
Hey lady come again
Come on break a leg !
This is the time to make plans
The plans of your life
Are you in or out ?
And if you are in, I'm here for your pleasure
But if you are out, I'll say goodbye
I move in a strange way
Like an elephant in a glass factory
Through a mighty highway
With my eyes closed
I try to swallow you
Even if my body rejects you
And if you are mine, I'll become a rat in that glass factory
But if you are not, I'll still roar
YOU EAT MY APPLE, HIDING YOURSELF FROM CHRIST
SO THE ALARM OF MY BUTTERFLIES IS RINGING AGAIN
Hey baby I wanna feel so safe
But you don't care
You can’t smell our love
Even if you have no cold
The plans are only on my mind
Now I understand
And if you are sincere, I'll take another lane
But if you are so fake, I'm in a jail

Old man
You're wasting people's time
Because
You're so stubborn
Hey stupid man
The world doesn’t wait for
Young people
If you don't
Listen to them
Old man give them a chance
To prove their worth
Old man show them your art
Let them learn it, learn it
Young boy
Show what you can do
There is no time to fail
No no no time to fail
Remember that the old man, is full of prejudices
Remember that the old man, hates you from the button of his heart
Old man give them a chance
To prove their worth
Old man show them your art
Let them learn it, learn it
Old man give them a chance,
Old man fly, fly away …
Old man give them a chance
To prove their worth
Old man show them your art
Let them learn it, learn it
Old man give them a chance,
To prove their worth

September the first
The fog has come for the first time
After this strange summer, after this strange year
September the first
The sun will go down too much early
After this strange summer, after this strange time
If the people come down
The world will change
And if the world open
People will change
Let’s go out down to the city,
Let’s go out i prefear to die
I remember last year
I met you at the same place
After a super summer, after a lovely year
Now I can’t breathe
I’ve got a mask over my mouth
I can’t see you, no I can’t see you
If the people come down
The world will change
And if the world opens
People will change
Let’s go out down to the city,
Let’s go out down to the city life
Let’s go out down to the city,
Let’s go out down to the city life Let’s go out down to the city,
Let’s go out down to the city life
Let’s go out down to the city ...

Let me introduce it to you
This is my flat
Walking into my bedroom
Feeding the plants
I got used to doing nothing
I love this habit
All my plants love me now, love me now
My plants are alive
Let me dream of circle in circle
Let me dream of flowers
Learning to dream of flowers
I wanna learn to dream of flowers
Let me introduce it to you
This is my flat
Looking out of the window
I think of people shoes
The sink is full of dishes
Who cares !!!!
The floor is so dirty
Will I ever clean it ?
My pyjamas is my best friend
So please send me your shape pillow
My pyjamas is my best friend
So please send me your shape pillow
Let me dream of circle in circle
Let me dream of flowers
Learning to dream of flowers
I wanna learn to dream of flowers
I wanna learn to dream of flowers
I wanna learn to dream of flowers
Learning to dream of flowers
Learning to dream of flowers
Flowers …
Flowers ….

The Doormen Ravenna, Italy
" The Truth in a Dark Age " is a dark and vibrant record looking at Shoegaze and 80s Wave. The cover depicts two fugitive lovers, immortalised in an intimate moment inside the cockpit of a car acting as a suit of armour. The kiss is the only sincere and clean truth in this dark age. At the same time it also symbolises the original sin made up of temptations of consciences and bent wills. ... more

Double Your Relaxation
by So Totally
With chiming, droning, and shimmering guitars galore, the Philadelphia shoegaze group debut their strongest collection of songs yet.

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Truth in a Dark Age”
Hailing from Boston since their debut EP in 2021, True Faith's sound is at its very core classic post-punk and coldwave. However, their single In Vain is a picture book example of their innovative spirit, with the melancholic piano melody accompanying the driven foundation and juxtaposing Travis Benson’s brash vocals. And when the saxophone starts dancing, In Vain becomes ungodly great.
