pulling at the cobwebs
tangled in what’s better left behind
sleepwalking into the future
hands tied behind my back
comatose
tongue of acetone
your love & irony
hold a rivalry
ancient echoes sing
you’re a shadow of nothing
left on your hands & knees
to unwrap your reverie
(fade out the glow
deny what you already know)
“you wasted all your life
why wouldn’t you waste death?
a feast for all the crows?
if that’s what you wanted
you’ll come back haunted”
a shrine in the sand
our hearts on a stone
we burnt down the church
took the crosses from our homes
absence always lingers
but there’s always something better
isn’t there?
history repeats itself
in stutters and groans
in old tongues, unknown
“you wasted all your life
why wouldn’t you waste death?”
all you had to know
was a way around it
but you never found it

Elements of post-punk, psychedelia, and noise sneak their way into these thoughtful, energetic tunes. One thing's for sure: these dudes know how to bring the ruckus. Goodbye Tiger
