you sit still in a broken car
drinking old box wine
on your front lawn you write
stories of old times
travel back to get your guitar
cross over state lines
open bar tabs you sign
that you left overnight
*have you sworn you’d change?
reassembled habits
make shapes
in my brain
don’t grow into the same
reimagined highways
shape lakes
out of frame
you exist in a broken mind
fear’s in high demand
call me crazy
as we nosedive holding hands
what if i could read your mind?
would i want to?
sorry i’d lose track of time
what else is new?
as i search for the better word
despite that you would leave so soon
what if I could read your mind, would i want to?
All the different riffs and emotions conveyed by them really made me feel something, but right at the end of Salad it's when I truly felt something spectacular and could not contain my emotion. Beautiful work. It needs more listeners. blueberry2001
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
Glad PIO wrote more songs; sad these songs will be their last. More fast-paced, math-rock, fun-times music. Thanks for the tunes and the good times! RM
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
