gear into gear
they roar
-
numbers and molds
definitions that hold
a truth we couldn't know
a yes for every no
we took it for granted
intended to advance
product after product
filling shopping carts
buried under piles and
choking on the fumes
hunted by successors
who copied and evolved
a horrendous scheme
the tools of relieve
were aimed too deep
stabbing pain we achieved
we parted the sea with a massive growl
from top of the mountains that we tried to bow
on makeshift wings we took off to fly
to visit the sun at least we had to try
clenched in the talons of the bird of our past
hungry for cruel iron to fill the greedy cast
erect a sculpture that barely breathes
so stubborn it slides into the deeps
on this eternal assembly line
piece on piece in cataclysmic rhyme
conceived by the brightest minds
neglecting the truth that it hides
a creation of its own worst kind
it carries on through space and time
when after all the lights go blind
empty towers left behind
logic commands the moves
feelings to confuse
rearrange the queen
binaries to reign
Rhythmic, low-end-heavy meditations influenced by funk, jazz, psych, French soundtracks, and—contrary to the LP's name—dub electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
