Oh hey!
We meet again
I’ve lost all time and space
And not sure you’re my friend
The colors overlap but are so misaligned
I’ve taken so much time but it’s still on my mind
I can’t escape
I’m chronically confused
Time marches on but I feel like I won’t improve
Can’t look away but it runs straight through my head
Ponder the angles, really feel the dread
I want more...
Not sure what for
But I am coming for you
you’re warned, sit tight
I’m stuck here too.
Stuck here like glue
Stuck here with you
I’m tired and empty and lament the times before
Don’t know what happened but I hurtled to the fore
I cross the line and can’t get up out of this seat
Can’t sleep at night and my existence is a feat
I pave the way for the rain inside my head
Ponder the story and continue to feel dread
Go forth pretending I don’t care what lies ahead
I can take it in stride
I have much time on my side
I want you to bring me inside
Want off this ride I don’t want more
But I... I deserve more
I think about whether I could just look away
Go forth pretending I don’t miss the things I say
But it’s apparent what we had just isn’t there
I can’t move on; I’m stuck just hoping for repair
I can’t move on
I’ll just stay here for all time
Until, until, I can wipe from my mind
I’ll wipe it from my mind
So I’m not stuck here for all time

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
