Walking outside
To your straight-faced gaze
Oh, where do we go from here?
First a quick draw
Then we lower our arms
Reaching for each other’s hand
On a lifeless plane
We relearn to trust
In a brand new way
We relearn love
In a barren land
without a flag in sight
is the only place
our love can survive.
The killer instinct
Leaving just us two
A chance to start up anew
It’s only logical
that we settle our feud
Live as the remaining two
Weary eyes are
looking lost in wasteland
fearing any sign of life
Then then met mine
& without one sound lit
the four lights of this town
Over time they
grew so bright
the only needed source of light
So we’ll stay here
up until they burn out
Leave behind this old town

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2018
