Humanity, I want to know these things are real
these frames are holding wavering moments of sanity
I want to hold on forever
When the moments here, maybe I'll just give up
these people are so strong
but not you
you're just as selfish as I am
Just as cold
just as ruthless
just as pitiless
You want people to feel sorry for you
you want people to love you
I want that too.
I need to be the best
so I can prove to everyone
prove to everyone that they're wrong
I'm going to get through this
I'm going to succeed at every possibly junction
I won't flicker out and fade away
I will be remembered
my existence will be marked on the halls of infinity
I tried to say that nothing was wrong with me
but now I'll be here, alone but alive

This Oakland trio makes spine-prickling, visceral noise with live drumming: a big sound that lives in the throat and heart. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 10, 2018
