lyrics

Not much of political man
But like Slowhand, I practice what i preach
So come on baby, get into my big black car
Let me show you what i mean

A short list of my beliefs:
-Gold's the only way to go
-Leave the writing to the prose
-Take time to stop and smell the weeds

I don't believe your babbling brook runs anymore deep
Than my ever slow-buffering stream
But we share the river's mouth we feed

A monstrous sea of opinions so thin they sink so easily
So don't dare you go rocking the boat
'Til you float it with the fleet

Backs to the Atlantic
Breaking waves of panic
Current and prolific
Just be more Pacific

It's a breeze!
When you've convinced yourself to think of things coastally
But many a shoulder turns cold when the polls get to polarizing

Parting the sea, bipartisan-ships split to take the lead
Scattered amongst the debris
Are the hopes and dreams of you and me

If you are searching for a unique blend of complex arrangements with different singers and if you are not afraid of a mixture of catchy soothing parts and harsh math core riffing, then do not look any further. One of my best findings on bandcamp during the last months! DonnieDarko
