Lyrics:
Heart’s strapped with medals and threads of valour
Momentarily wishing, make peace with the present, cough up the last of the anguish.
You’re tangled in the roots, Streets paved with grey stone, the house you spent time alone.
Buying my time, taking my place in the system, if it’s what you want I’ll run the race.
One of these day’s I won’t wake up, clouded with the name I’ve made for myself
One of these day’s I won’t be left hanging in the balance.
Tangled and swinging the pressure sets in and I’m gone, it’s hard to see, with your eyes sewn shut.
If the grass was greener on the other side just know I would have been there all the time.
Get this jagged knife out of my side, it’s been twitching and tearing my life, to shreds.
The days go by wishing I had the time, I put everything on the fucking line.
Just for a breath of fresh air, just for someone to care.
But you were all too clueless to know what the world worked like.
Have we all been left behind? Take me back to this hell, I call home.
Have we all been left behind? Take me back to this hell, I call home.
Sell your soul! Give it up because you’re fucking out of luck.
Hold your own! What do you expect? When I’m here left in the ditch…
Say your piece! It gets me nowhere but I can write it down at least
Still hanging in the balance, still so weak…
There was no remorse in their eyes, Find your own purpose
See past all this... Someday!
I won’t be there to help you,
No I won’t be there to help you.
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
If/when the apocalypse ever occurs, The Black Queen's Fever Daydream will be its official soundtrack and manifesto. And, I'm living for it as we dance ourselves into oblivion. DAS VILLAIN
Fusing ’90s metalcore, ’00s vaporwave, and ’20s cybergrind, the Texans' debut showcases an unprecedented unholy trinity. Bandcamp New & Notable May 17, 2023
A lot of good memories associated with this EP. Being an awkward teen and getting my CD signed. All four songs are amazing, but then again this is Moon Tooth we're talking about. Amazing is all that they do 9RnK7
