August, summer that would never end in that moment we'd be friends forever think of all the time that we could spend doing all the things we love together soon... warming up to an extravagant all extents were just thrown out thanks to my conscience yelling at me to hit send it's undeniable, we grew up side by (side) countless times that I am yet to miss hours that I'd die to live as decades blossoming, escaping the abyss light beyond the blackest hole, what have I found far away, and it isn't over yet mild astray, over yet We had made to semptember by the time I realized I hadn't lost my mind, it's everything we've done and everything we'll do it's mesmerizing that it won't be over soon.

Locked in palace walls, empty echoed halls Longer I can't bare, take me anywhere Austin Texas it will just have to be there where I can see things from my wildest dreams Yes I'm getting fat, no I just can't wean Yes that's how I sound, no that's not what I mean Live life in reverse, every day's a curse it's a theater that I'm not fit to play, but Then I saw you, glittering wonder piano cues played and memories made It's such shame, this glittering wonder's stuck in such a town I can't take no more questions at my door money's tight, I'm done days of work means none Austin Texas was never meant to be birds and high rise flats, it's all that there's to see Yes I'm getting fat, yes I'm gonna lean yes that's how I sound, yes that's just what I mean life's just getting sore, I can't take no more there's a final straw and I think I broke it When I saw you, glittering wonder piano cues played and memories made It's such shame, this glittering wonder's stuck in Twinleaf Town Six whole months it's been, of destroying sin I can gladly say, things have truly changed Austin Texas looks just like paradise since I've started to stare through radiant eyes I'm no longer fat, there's no need to wean I like how I sound, what I truly mean is that spirits low never rise as fast all it takes is time and a miracle like When I saw you, glittering wonder piano cues played and memories made I've come to see, this glittering wonder's just for Twinleaf Town

I read it in a book a million dreams contained right in my hands that's all it takes that's all I make whithin the walls of my abode It's just a few more smoke detectors soon, we'll be okay and we'll live forever far away from home where I should be but I'm still here I'm forced and Having to lie just so that I could know better So here I am again tryna build a nuclear reactor maybe it's hopeless so Take me far away from this disarray we'll mail-in-order isotopes and pray we'll get to crtical as far as we may know everything's for show maybe I could bring some light to this dark world we seem to live in When did everything go so wrong maybe I'll go back, yeah

She's a web-crawling spider who lives in a cardboard box a new computer with a door and a million locks sweet mosquitos that get caught in her widest nets this bug collector that's left debtless, with empty threats You'll never see, pristine her sun-dyed monochrome dress her brain is atorphy and so are her last regrets So now it's simple thoughts and phrases, and so few words repeat ad nauseum the things that you'll never Charlotte's web That she knowns closely, now, what would aaron think? "so..." she wept, 'cause it only matters when it shatters Why would it kill you to wear something bright for once lest the sun reject your essence, in brilliance And so the brightest lights came far from the land you laid there's no more floppy disks to save you, now I'm afraid So late at night she'll lock it up and they'll never know right in her eardrum heart It sounds real on radio I miss my brain I miss my melody, was sweet and sound I miss the time before this radioactive meltdown Charlotte's web That she knowns closely, now, what would aaron think? "so..." she wept, 'cause it only mattered when it shattered

Window 01:39
Take a look out my window to the underworld, left abandoned, and to its own device. in a flash, that was faster than the speed of light, with millions of answers that all lead home. Cry her to sleep, stare falsity, Cold bedroom floors will change you, draw what you can't see, Don't let it be, Staring forever through glass walls. looking through the window and a net of lies peeking through the seems of my reality if it wasn't for all the light I'm letting through here what kind of man would I've ever been? Lay here to rest, don't know what's left I've seen it all and more man I'm wondering why, the clouds in the sky never stoop down to say hello (No, no, no no no, no, no, NOOO, no, no, no, no no NO no no, no, no, no.) Stared through the window for eternity, seen a million different people come and go! It'd be natural that I would've been left faceless Had I not chosen to stare, alone!!!!!

about

Like the sunny lake and mountains of the Sabaudia town, "Wreck of the Zanzibar" shines best during a warm summer, full of friendship, beach days and plenty of sandwiches from the bar on the way to the seaside.

Hi, I'm Alex, the musician previously behind "DenshiSong". This is my new band "Sabaudia" and this is our first album! It contains a mix of influences, like math rock, a tiny bit of punk and some synthwave. The songs here are genreless and I wasn't aiming for any specific sound; this is just what came out when I forced myself into making an album with actual lyrics.

Some songs were heavily inspired by casio dad's album "he's not with us anymore". Infact I wrote "August" just a few months after listening the album in full.
