wear me down
it's been a long time
since I've been this down and out
it's getting harder now to breath
under this shroud
there's a better way
to work around this problem
when in doubt drink it all away
and leave it till tomorrow
but my heart aches
where you're at
you can't get anywhere from there
and where I'm at
it's hard to even care
and there's no going back
another path
a new direction
the same past
pitting every one of us against each other
but my heart aches
you've already got my money
you might as well throw the rest away
you've already got my money
just go on and throw my heart away
take your craft
devalue everything you are
there's nothing left
but scraps for dogs to fight over
where I'm at
it's all designed to keep me there
to break my back
trying to work around this problem
and my heart aches
you've already got my money
you might as well throw the rest away
you've already go my money
just go on and throw my heart away
there's no other time or place
for us to go
just feed me garbage
keep my mind and body slow
seems there's no other way
to get out of this hole
got my delusion
and my worn remote control
-Chorus-
-repeat chorus-

Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
