push it just to watch it break
apply pressure in the right place
just a touch is all it takes
if we can find the weak spot
so we just push and watch it break
break it just to watch it go
we can fix it down the road
thinking time will still move slow
we'll have so many chances
so we just kill and watch it go
just deny that there was ever any ugly in us
make your mind
the seed we sow
not a tear was shed
we will not stand for inconvenience
walking home just moves too slow
and now it's gone
yeah it was here but now it's gone
plastic jesus on the lawn
i remember so it must be real
and i can't shake it
but now you're here and it's all gone
it's a long way to come down
or to fall
but the grounds coming up fast
just stay strong
keep the throttle wide open
deny it all
cause we can make this stone fly
yeah we can make this house fly
fast enough to pierce the sky
what happens when the engines fail?
apologies for everything we've done
but now it's yours and now we're gone
a legacy competing with the sun
we light the fuse and then we run
what happens when the engines fail?
apologies for everything we've done
but now it's yours and now were gone
technology competing with the sun
we light the fuse and then we run
apologies for everything we've down
but now it's yours and now we're gone
burned everything we could get our hands on
called it the freedom to be wrong
called it the freedom to be dumb.
What happens when the engines fail?

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
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
