smoke will
seep into your body
before you lose sight
of the short hand eroding
the landscape of polished wood
down to the steel interplay
of spokes never resting
the heart of them turning
now what will happen to you then?
will you make amends?
reconcile all the loose ends
you've buried
over and under the decades
hidden in boxes and frames
pieces of your conscience
a secret anthology
will you let them disappear
or will you set them free?
you get restless
by your own hand
long not short
self reprimand
all the hours
stuck suspended
follow dreams
to fruition
will you make amends?
reconcile all the loose ends
you've buried
over and under the decades
hidden in boxes and frames
pieces of your conscience
a secret anthology
will you let them disappear
or will you set them free?
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
