My hands are shaking
Her words are breaking
My concentration and I can't tell her why
Can anyone hear me?
I'm almost screaming
My actions are leaving a trail of dead in my wake
How much more can I take?
I've spent the last year stoking this blaze
Burning this bridge we so carefully made
I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves
To make sure she leaves here unscathed
I'm barely breathing
From swallowing sentences
And now I see these words are only wind
I’ll collect the kindling
To burn down these pillars of memories
These burned words get silenced by the breeze
I've spent the last year stoking this blaze
Burning this bridge we so carefully made
I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves
To make sure she leaves here unscathed
Can I medicate these lapses in cognition with the answers
To the questions I'm not asking if you promise to be candid?
I've spent the last year stoking this blaze
Burning this bridge we so carefully made
I'll sacrifice my time digging these graves
To make sure she leaves here unscathed

Music and lyrics by Dan O'Gorman
I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2023
