Take my breath away,
Kiss my purple face
Song of pain inflames my throat
I’m thirsty for
a reason to sing
I won’t try your courts (won’t try, won’t)
I will not impeach
I’m no jester, but I suggest
That you lighten up
before we lose our way
And if we meet again
And the doorways are closed
I will not hold you back.
Take these empty pockets,
They’ve seen better change.
I know my skin isn’t worth the shit
that it’s printed on
but it’s all I can save.
And if we meet again
And the doorways are closed
I will not hold you back.
(You’re gonna make me say it, aren’t you?)
(Say it: aren’t you leaving?)

Smoothing out his wonky instrumental style, these beefy beats are tastefully paired with twisted jazz n'soul samples. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2014
The experimental rock band's new record is as melodic and inventive as ever, but now with an even more honed sense of play. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2024
