I forgot
my wallet and my keys
in a cab in the city
so I got
down on my knees
crying out to a corporate deity
a black hole
was tearing into me
where my heart
had forgotten about fragility
and tenderness and your absentee
Without being emotional
just going through the motions of
one big self sabotaging empty bitch
it’s scary to realize the reasons why
you wanna die
and that you would spare them of
the consequences
On the shore
the medium told me
I will grind for eternity
and what's more
I’ll never be rid of a hex
that my ex's mom put on me
I melt down
in this cheap plastic chair
where my heart had forgotten
that you were near to me
and waiting there ever patiently
Without being emotional
just going through the motions of
one big self sabotaging empty bitch
it’s scary to realize the reasons why
you wanna die
and that you would spare them of
the consequences
Here lies
dead eyes
Lilly White is surprised
but you're not on the guest list baby
general malaise
and a needy gaze
nothing wants anymore
nothing hurts anymore
when you're not
a second thought
Without being emotional
just going through the motions of
one big self sabotaging empty bitch
it’s scary to realize the reasons why
you wanna die
and that you would spare them of
the consequences

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
