At twenty, twenty-four hours ago
You leaped off the earth, and left us here waiting
We didn’t know it, but we need you right now
So come back to town stop messing around
With tremors and high-lows, I’ll bite my tongue
For a chance to feel more conscious
Wake up the world with genetic nonsense
Lab rats,
with wires, foaming
Strobing lights
Seize the morning lights
We’re so alike.
We need lots of help, you and I
Caught my breath
As you caught your death in the hospital bed
With comas and concepts
You did your best
Tagged the world with questions for it
Offset yourself to not surrender
Lab rats,
With wires, foaming
Strobing lights
Seize the morning lights
When will we hide the pain?
Pick me up for that new solution
At last, the splinter’s deep
Go back to sleep
Please pick me up for that new solution
Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
This Oakland group pulls no punches, serving up a hard-hitting punk album that recalls the blistering brilliance of Refused. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2020
