moment of shrug
defend what I say
simple showcase
mediated and ornate
what i think
method act
fabric dream
it exists for a billionth time
infinite choices by design
recall how to react, to appear offended
you get to play a role grander than intended
If you tried and ended up dead
you won't have to do any better than you did
moment of shrug
defend what I say
simple showcase
mediated and ornate
what i think
method act
fabric dream
flattered in my perfection
proven by the attention
performed to make impressions
proceed pointless procession
are
unmoved
unless
it's your issue?
If you're here until you're dead
they'll speak highly of you and everything that you've left
accustomed to
being in a mood
when people die, the grief belongs to you
all bad '-isms' seen countless times
we're expected to cry?
If you tried and ended up dead
they'll speak highly of you and everything you've left
if you're here until you're dead
moment of shrug, i guess just be happy that you've left

I need to think
Give me a line
write out a script
define the zeitgeist
could call it work
could call it play
regardless of the day, appear as grandiose cosplay
I need a drink
lay me a line
write me a scrip
when you have time
heading to work
off every day
regardless of wordplay, not a change in any way
We have our drinks
We choose our lines
We get our scrips
we make up time
may not be true
coming from me or you
cautious our ways, will anyone think about the things we say?
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
