This compulsion’s unhealthy
Keep it up, and it kills me
There’s no chance that this’ll work out
It’s become clear
Oh what hope have I got? One?
Maybe two hours of good songs?
A couple minutes great
I’m building a fixture, a frame, a portrait
“For what? For love? To whom?”
It’s shallow, it’s beauty, I’m it, it’s me
“A waste, a product, I’m valued at what?”
But it feels good, it’s urgent, a thesis to these kids
“No one asked for this, you’re not voiceless”
Well then, I always have other options
“Then do it. You’re bluffing. Being? A joke.”
Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me.
A call, a cut, a knife, a trigger
Anything thing to get over what I see
just left of center, this constant part of me.
So here's to waking up with fire inside of
the spot that leaves you wanting to live
Don't dare try to take this from me
I will kill the sound I hate
I will kill the sound you make
Your music is a joke to me
How dare you take this holy noise
The only sound that didn't kill me
It's only me
You all seem so sure I’ll be fine
I don’t believe you
But I have to try
No, no, trust me
You don’t want this
As bad as me
I mean, it’s killing me.
Is it killing you?
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
