I’ve gotten so good at lying to myself
I say these things like “don’t go, I need help”
And the lines on your face are too much to touch
So I breathe and I let your warmth pull me in
‘Til we’re alone, and your okay, and I am washed in my sin
Because I can’t find fault in what you do
You have me at the heel and I can’t do this without you
Can’t do this without you
Can’t...
There’s no monster under my bed
When I realised she was in every word that I said
So I sit and I drink, I have nowhere to be
And I let this solemn song sing back to me
And in spite of my efforts it tears me apart
That I fail in removing you from my heart
Yes I planned to say all these terrible things
In the end I want to tell you that I miss you and it’s killing me
“Let me go.” Just murmuring... “Let me go.” Just murmuring...
This one really goes deep. Tremendously heavy and bleak, yet crushingly groovy as well. You can easily see these guys destroying any venue they'd hit live with this. The heavy hitting slow to mid-tempo tunes are sort of tranceinducing. It's very easy to listen to it multiple times in a row or even get lost in it totally. mourner
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
