lyrics
Day spent in bright-lit city,
With sounds of market-tongues,
Word here, phrase empty,
Nothing is ever gone.
We’re bound to wander,
From block to block to room.
Lift me up, keep me up,
Beyond the heat of this tomb.
And how I,
Long for,
Those days when,
Words were mere words.
Night spent in toxic city,
With sounds of young-marred tongues,
Lift me up, keep me up,
Beyond is never gone.
And how I,
Long for,
Those days when,
Words were mere words.
And how I - let it align.
It was won restraint,
From a phrase empty.
Childlike anthems,
The phrase of plenty.
Day spent in bright-lit city,
With sounds of market-tongues.
Fixed against forever,
Beyond is never gone.
Your tools are death to me,
With sounds of what would be,
Words here, yet so empty,
It’s never wronged.
With sounds of market-tongues,
Word here, phrase empty,
Nothing is ever gone.
We’re bound to wander,
From block to block to room.
Lift me up, keep me up,
Beyond the heat of this tomb.
And how I,
Long for,
Those days when,
Words were mere words.
Night spent in toxic city,
With sounds of young-marred tongues,
Lift me up, keep me up,
Beyond is never gone.
And how I,
Long for,
Those days when,
Words were mere words.
And how I - let it align.
It was won restraint,
From a phrase empty.
Childlike anthems,
The phrase of plenty.
Day spent in bright-lit city,
With sounds of market-tongues.
Fixed against forever,
Beyond is never gone.
Your tools are death to me,
With sounds of what would be,
Words here, yet so empty,
It’s never wronged.

This is maybe my favorite release of the year. It’s hardcore perfection, simple and driving. It sounds absolutely perfect on vinyl.
