Kicking 2021 off with "Keeping Up Appearances" - a new chapter in Coenaesthesia's music journey, featuring poinant, goth rock-inspired vocals.

Drums are partially sampled from "Schone Schijn" by Laster.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Have you ever had the feeling
that you couldn't hold it in
mind and body felt like bursting
but remembered that's a sin
This is how they tricked you
made you weaker every day
So that you would have no clue
that they've also felt this way

[Chorus]
Keeping up appearances
never dare
they'll never care
at least you'll survive
Keeping up the wall
never let them see
you hurt this much
just barely alive

[Verse 2]
A game of who lasts longer
who can better keep it in
straining harder, clenching stronger
but well, can you really win?
You will always lose the fight
you will go down on your knees
it'll eat you up inside
a defeat that no one sees

[Verse 3]
Hear the broken scream in anguish
stop the ever running scheme
Hear the voice of those who languish
they are longing to be seen
Can you hear yourself scream too
you have heard it I can tell
allow your feelings to break through
and you'll heal others as well

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Barely alive (x8)

Keeping Up Appearances

"Close Distance", second song of the upcoming release, "Vulnerable", yet to be announced.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
There's a hole I cannot seal, however hard I tried
I'm the one who tore it
Putting patches on the lesions hoping they won't just bleed through
I never saw how hard they hurt

[Chorus]
Through a haze I see you now
In the corner of my eye
And as I turn to focus
I can see you cry
But the more I call
the less you hear me
and the more I touch
the less you feel me
And though you're lying close to me
I feel you're far away

[Verse 2]
Sing you songs of nothing, broken promises and shame
and I feel your gaze accuse me
that's the only look you give me and the only I deserve
What was once so dear is shattered

[Chorus]

Vulnerable

Close Distance

[Verse 1]
There was a light in your eyes
and a shadow on my heart
Didn't hope for much
We just liked the way it starts
I can't tell just how it happened
It just felt like it was right.
Like a dream come true
Who cares if there were signs?

[Chorus 1]
Take it slow and let it happen
Take it slow and let it flow
No pressure, No commitment
Enjoy the moment, let it flow

[Verse 2]
Fireworks in our eyes
but a shadow on your heart
I guess I hoped too much
Now it's gone before it starts
I'm not even mad it happened
could've seen it coming, right?
I was blinded by my feelings
didn't want to see the signs

[Chorus 2]
Take it slow and let it happen
Take it slow and let it go
That's the thing with no commitment
Look inside and let it go
Take it slow and let it happen
take it slow and let it go
I am sorry, I'm still healing
Now I see that you are too

Take It Slow
