I am a statue from a long line of sculpturers, with two lazy eyes & a limp handshake. I sleep ‘til whenever- don’t wake me up. Redefined every word & attached meaning to the absurd- it’s self-defeating, yet so pleasing. Weak enough to vanish into air. With iris’ like timepieces blinking drowsily at eternity; an unanswered call, a plea for meaning, a world deaf, dumb and blind. A larynx scraping against a wall, I make these cracks real. Bones crushed to dust beneath the weight of a history I can’t look in the eye. Our lives; like skewed lines in space-time. Kamikaze for the capital: “I will see you at the Yasukuni.”
Brilliant album, I honestly can't remember the last time an album connected with me in such a way. In a world where a lot of music sounds stagnant GIVE sound fresh but with familiar elements. It evokes memories of Orange 9mm, Pearl Jam, Dead Kennedys, The Who & CIV among others. I would recommend this to anyone. james samociuk
