about
"On a long enough timeline. The survival rate for everyone drops to zero." - Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
Denying inevitability is a uniquely human trait. We love to pretend that everything's alright, that things won't fall apart, that entropy won't eventually take hold. But some things can't be avoided. This song is about the fear and anxiety that take hold of a character as he comprehends existence and the impending lack thereof.
lyrics
Cold sweats and guilt,
I can’t close my eyes.
Terrified by lack of hope,
And dying all the time.
I drink so I can’t remember,
All the things that I can’t face,
And all the years I spent paralyzed,
And living in a haze.
The prophecy is broken,
We must find what we have lost.
When even the sheep aren’t happy,
No matter what you want,
It’s not worth the cost.
I’m counting down the days to oblivion,
I’m counting all the ways that I’m afraid,
You can look to the skies with Armageddon eyes,
But in the end we ride a Cemetery Highway.
It’s the destination,
Of the flat line.
It’s the implication,
I’m running out of time.
I’d rather be punished,
I’d rather be thrashed,
Than face nothingness,
Or going nowhere fast.
My heart is beating,
Outside my chest.
Cuticles are bleeding,
I am obsessed.
I’m wigging out now,
This has progressed,
To a point I can’t stand still,
Like I’m possessed.
I’m freaking out,
These Armageddon eyes are tearing,
I’m freaking out,
This constant fear is overbearing.
I’m freaking out.
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
