lyrics: hold your breath and count to ten. seperate me from you. when the flowers begin to sprout, when the flowers sink to the bottom. all connected to something larger, all reaching and grasping to you. now we wilt, we sleep for this winter. for months and weeks our guts are coming out. with and without reason. with and without connection. direct and indirect this hurts.
explanation: it’s impossible to fill a void of someone who was as close to you as a brother. the feelings spout out no matter if it was days after the loss or years later – it has been uncontrollable at times. how do we step forward to mend this, to something cannot be fixed? to find a feeling of content when it all feels so wrong? we miss you everyday – we hurt everyday.
The drums after the breakdown drive me insane; the kick and snare interaction is ridiculous. This whole album is goated and has reignited my love of punk and its subgenres. Sirko.rip
I came back to this album after listening to the Skarmz Jamz Podcast, what to say .. the lyrics are so much darker than I imagined. fucking great band. catchy but visceral Insomnia69
