lyrics
I was born in a small town
Western New York with next to no neighbors around
And I longed for the city
More with every year of living in the country
And I had such big, big dreams
I carried them around wherever I would go with me
When I wound up in NYC
Everything at first was so damn easy
Can we finally get some truth?
When it's hard just to get by
I have a little trouble trying not to try
I tend to long for the ether
Free from my body's superfluous features
And I want it so, so bad
The curtain on the mystery to finally peel back
When I've wandered so far
I look back on patch of well earned scars
I don't want to tell you how
They found me hanging upside down
There is nothing I have left to prove
Sometimes I get torn apart
Put together back at the start
Kind of like Sisyphus did too
Just like you

The new EP from NYC’s best live rock band is a scorcher, full of bleak, driving guitars and topped with dark, prophetic vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2021
