modern times allow for me to see
every detail of every change in your new scenery
pixelated facts, I'd figure
that information travels quicker
you think your life's like a Woody Allen movie
complete with asides to where the audiences should be
yeah, it's been a while since we used our fingers to paint these walls
i'll wait around for you to reply as I check my screen
you laugh at me like I'm a comment you read on a bathroom stall
but I can't tell if you might've missed me
you're barely breathing
when you're dragging your feet
to the far side of town
where you've been hanging around
now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
had you been home on time
when your heartbeat's a scream
you take one for the team
you've been begging to leave
now you're wondering why the hell you've gone this far
had you been home on time
i want you to say something
why won't you just say something?
anything that would help
the medicine doesn't help
in other words, binary codes
expressions that would never show
repetitions of the past
good things seem to never last
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great! Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 6, 2022
Found this album, among others, on a whim through YouTube. Gave em a listen, and found myself vibing to just about all of it for about an hour or two. Hank The Driver
