lyrics

No! Not again!
I swore this was behind me.
When the thing appeared,
The thing I feared that had defined me,
I grabbed a weapon,
And stepped in the trap.

I blinked and I reacted,
Calm and unafraid,
As I flambéed that damn arachnid.

Shocked,
I gawked as I reflected,
What had I incited?
Might it have ignited?

Hold your applause,
Contain all your excitement,
Cause it’s undeserved.
I should be served with an indictment.

Direct your acclamation,
To the arthropod that shock-and-awed the station.

I despise everything they symbolize.
So many feet!
So many eyes!
So why should I sympathize?
Go on, surprise me.

I’m on the ropes.
I dangle here, defenseless.
Tangled in a web,
A nest of consequences.
Torching everything,
Cause I was swinging for the fences.
Left to spin some explanation.
And away it floated.
Loaded.
Nearly bursting with every myth I’ve told.
It bloated and exploded.

One of the coolest bands from my hometown, this record is a quick ride through cerebral and dare I say, FUN noise/math rock. Do yourself a favor and give these guys your money, they deserve it. GodIsChad
