for better or for worse
we've been blessed, we've been cursed
the near storm has your spine wrapped around its finger
holding you out above the fallout
and don't look down because your time is up
don't look down
and you're running out of places to hide
begging for change as you're watching their heads shake
all of your cries for help are now an earache
sealing a bet with a left handed handshake
losing all faith when the last of your bones break
if i can't save my change how the fuck can i save your life
safety is only a word
safety is our only curse
your time will come and you'll get what you deserve
pick up your teeth and pronounce the word
deny all the voices that you once heard
taking advice from a man six feet under
can't step outside because you're too self centered
safety is only a word
safety is only a word
that is our only curse

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
