lyrics

we're letting our smiling become temporary confirmation
to make connection to reality and the last time I felt weary
the bridges between memory are tenuous
so we'd best remain cautious
and fortunate through our addictions to shelter and aesthetic
we'll leave focus defeated and fold under pressure
that's equal in part to our social anxieties
another night that we thaw out our dinners and eat with disposable utensils
we are quick and efficient
entertained and lethargic
not concerned with how we identify ourselves
from the charming voices that dance in our heads
it's all for show

a cruel resonance like crooked marble
has us feeling frantic, slanted
sometimes adventurous
but even the fool knows how to get down to business
well life is so short, but it's feeling too long

Actually, Extremely

This album scratches an itch I never knew existed. The most fun I have had perusing Bandcamp for new cassettes. Please give a listen if you like kinda emo, kinda indie, kinda prog metal music. Seriously, I feel like it would be hard not to enjoy these songs. tukknutt13
