I let myself down
push on the earth to get back up
you weren't around
familiar sight and solitude
I got the message
specific and directed
at how fucking pathetic
all these filthy habits are
I drag you into
in love in darkness, you are lost
what a selfish fucked up way to get out
raised hands in the back of the class so astute
but no one will ever call on you
if you only knew the burden you had
to carry the rest of your natural life
would you have graced them with your presence
would you have gone outside
would you have walked alone that night
will you let them all down
push on the earth at their expense
your nose to the grindstone
your tired excuses to get out of this
you said in a message
you want one day of respite
one day off, one day at home
one day to remember how to be alone
in love in darkness, you are lost
its the only way that you know how
bright lights you never saw you had
could guide you away, could guide you out
I breathe through my nose and out my mouth
im a thief with audacity to stay
at the scene of the crime with blood on my face
was a hand that fed, there was a life taken away
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
