Dakota Helbig It's nice to hear a band that manages to capture the math rock sound without any overly complicated tapping or needlessly intricate rhythms. Favorite track: Hugh Jackman/Gene Hackman.

a closet for derek on his knees, he'll say a prayer to keep all the flies out from his modest meal awkward and strained, i bet they can tell he's mouthing the words just like everyone else glory be! they'll shake his hand and feel the loose grip of a dishonest man what a strange futile attempt to toss wishes into an endless well and there is a closet for derek to keep his things from broken to useless and they might be stolen from you but you'll waste your time trying to prove it don't close your eyes open your eyes he'll claw your eyes for us, for me, for you

Venues 04:33
we used to hear those bells they used to lead us away now every time they ring it only helps us keep time but they don't ring so loud gather 'round, gather 'round this old amplifier a drum kit as an altar three hail mary's and seven decibals gather 'round! gather 'round! these cracked speakers three hail mary's and seven decibals one our father and four beats per measure kneel down, stand up, sit down hallelujah smoke up kneel down, stand up, sit down hallelujah drink up the sound guy cries aloud while he twists and turns his knobs a girl cries out something unheard from the bar this is all we've got to show for our petty sins, tonight but it's not that easy to see what we wanted to be i can't recall it's name but it sounds so clear i can't recall it's name

our city's built with gold but the streets are lined with graves for those who aren't so good at adapting to change priorities are straight, distractions and display of spectacles so grand to keep the shroud wrapped so tight a show's about to begin, orchestrated for you don't let your eyes stray too far from here this is what we need you to see dear leader makes a request the council jumps to it's feet oh such a pointless request cry wolf again while the rest all starve idle threats in passing well, i won't mind

Hoofed 01:54

curled up like a snake about to pounce on it's prey but it's not enough to take it back not soon enough go wipe that dumb grin right off your face like a stain but it's not enough to take it back not soon enough end points are useless when you can't see vision are not so bad when you sleep turn around but you can't turn it off take a bow but you can't take it off shapes and sounds floating around your head and this won't end too soon piss down on me rain down on you but it's all in your mind wake up to find yourself in a new place wake up in time to find your life has gone by

Build Ups 03:19
i assert my right to live like garbage halitosis with a chip on my shoulder i'm biting nails down to the bone, then melt away a bloody shirt tells stories that a mouth won't complete strangers on the street have been looking at me a bit weird lately come to think of my friends have been a bit weary, too i'm really not quite sure if it's the scars, the marks, the stare, or the blood but i'm really at a loss what i should do and this will happen again this town is not what it once was covered in dust and rust and musk and maybe we just got it all wrong we only dream of torn flesh now crawling, growling, fighting, and biting i'm pretty sure we got it all wrong we got it wrong i kept walking down the road a bit farther to find a place to calm my nerves so i took a seat down at the peer i was just trying to enjoy my food when i felt many sharp stings in my back and im really not sure what i should do lay down and wait it out til it's alright besides you won't miss your eyes

one time you were a snake in the grass one time you were a lover in the past but that's done don't fix it up save it for the mice build it, break it, just don't fix it up it's not what we want, but it's close enough it's not what we thought, but it's close enough it's not illegal, but it's close enough buy yourself time to cover up the crime we already tapped the line cannot get it clean, it's dirty money exchanging from cold hands to mine, it's dirty money funding the slums and all the slime, it's dirty money but we just cannot get it clean take a look around it's all funded through me but that's okay let's take the bait and sink the ship

New Filth 01:56
9.
chained to a lie don't even try this is a swan song of a generation two clicks and one swipe down, your concious clear oh joy for such graciousness with intent too bad it's all just for show, what a shame change before our eyes don't even try
10.
he walked out the door with a sad plan to erase the one's he loved in a fell swoop when he looked up to the sky it was so bright make it up again, make your self up and find another past, find another present take it off again, take off your clothes and wallow in your filth, wallow in your pitty the crashing waves of the sea and mounds of trash piled to our feet it's all we've got the sludge and guts of our own it's such a waste, we must atone it's all we've got don't look back now nostalgia is a really odd thing when you've got no good memories in that thick skull and he still laughed too himself it was alright everything is fine, everything's alright when he walked inside his blood ran cold at the sight of those who had become ghosts when it's all been said and it's all been done what the fuck are we gonna do?
