"somehow everything I say twists and comes back wrong. It’s exhausting, this constant editing of my own words, and watching the simplest phrases build walls instead of bridges... and now, it looks like we are both infected, language has become our virus."

LYRICS:
------
We talked in tiny whispers
Words bouncing off the walls
Your laugh like a melody
I barely noticed the falls

Late night texts
Unread by morning
Still your letters felt like home

I meant something small
But it twisted on your tongue
A joke turns sharp
And suddenly I’m wrong

Language is my virus
Spreading faster than I see
Every word a misfire
Infecting you and me
Used to dance in meaning
Now it’s just static and noise
I wanted to love you
But I lost it in the choice of my voice

i'm pacing in the dark
replaying your last line

how it cut through calm 
like a knife that wasn’t mine

i thought we were steady
thought we had the map
but my words 
keep tripping me up
i keep falling back

did I phrase it wrong?
or did you just hear it skewed
every sentence feels like a puzzle 
i can’t conclude
you said it’s over
i nod, I get it, I breathe
but my tongue keeps plotting
keeps rewriting the grief

i’m counting syllables 
like they’re bricks in a wall
but the wall just grows higher 
every time we fall
i wanted clarity
honesty, some light-
instead we’re lost in the syntax
and nothing’s right

Was it something I said
Or something I never did
The space between words 
Is a canyon I can’t rid
I chase the meaning
I try to make amends...

But language is a virus
And love’s where it ends

Language is my virus
Spreading faster than I see
Every word a misfire
Infecting you and me
Used to dance in meaning
Now it’s just static and noise
I wanted to love you
But I lost it in the choice of my voice

So I sit with the quiet
The words still in my head
Tracing all the ways love slipped
And the things we never said

Maybe one day I’ll speak
Without the virus in my tone
But for now I’m just learnin'
How to be alone

Language is My Virus

SINCERE IMPOSTER is an intimate collection of artists exploring a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave, and Experimental World Pop. Collectively, this is known as QUIRKPOP — music that pushes the creative limits of traditional pop.

Expect an unpredictable journey through sound, emotion, and humor, where genres collide and pop bends in strange new ways. Each song is conceived, composed, and performed with total sincerity, whether it’s built from voices, instruments, software, or hybrid experimentation. The focus is on the music itself: if it resonates, it resonates. No explanation required.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is curated by two musicians, both living within the same body, sharing a singular existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused, yet extremely and unapologetically sincere.

Influences range from Weird Al and Nathan Fielder to David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain, and T-Swift. 

Danielle & Dave’s favorite inventions include the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel… who may be an entity or a god.
