my mind a fortress and i'm its servant
paying my dues until absolution
i wear simple on the surface
i wear blood on my neat little apron
i'm still searching for a purpose
for a reason to primally scream it out
i'm still praying to the intellect
to the wolf inside my sweetest nightmare
life is waiting on the firebell
to put into motion the drill we were taught so well
never mind the fire if it's fake or real
the notion of it all keeps us standing still
i'm no damsel, just a silhouette
some things get me on and some things get me wet
i'm just living for connectedness
brothers and sisters we're all just silhouettes
i had my oxygen, i had my safety gear
forgot to double check the expiration year
i'm a gambler, runs in my family
i played with fire didn't care if it burned me
life is waiting on the firebell
to put into motion the drill we were taught so well
never mind the fire if it's fake or real
the notion of it all keeps us standing still
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
