Dirt

So soon, too late
I'll cave
I'll tell you one too
Don't you have some more
Dirt to eat
So lovely
Put it on me
Do I look any better now?
Do I feel any better now?
And I've touched too much to know
Its not even right to have the foolish thought
But its on my mind
Like it,
Or like it or not
But I like it
Or not
Do people know?
Well people know
Don't go and worry about that
They've seen it from a mile back
And they're not gonna ask
For a while
Better not let yourself be seen
Dance, dance like you're being watched
Because you are
And how far will I go?
By the looks
Not much farther
Than I've gone before now
If I ever mistook
You for another,
Then I'm sorry that I cut you down
I've done it too
I've touched it too
I've seen it come from the ground
I've felt it too
I've got the tooth
I've heard it quieter than now

Press your thumb upon the furrowed brow
Now twist
Hear it? Feel it.
Is it coming on? Soon now
And you found yourself somewhere inside
Where?
Strung it along
I feel like my head is spinning around
You're not coming down
If you feel alone
Maybe you are
Maybe that's whats going on
and its not the drug
no matter what you need to blame
You're on your own
Good bye so long
You're not going home
Fake it or something
Do what you have to
It only gets worse if you trust me to know
Take your fancy
Skin off
You will never get to
Its a mirage, but you'll like it enough
Don't dream the dream
Do your best to make it soothing
It won't go away
No one I've ever met has come out better off
Worse for the wear every time
Now you're screwed
And for once its not my fault
And for once I'm not at all worried
Because this one's all on you
Or I am pretending again
Of course its on me
'cause I'm the dirt
beneath your feet
I don't deserve anything

Beast

I have become like them
The beasts of the land
Oh, I get it
Its so fascinating to the uninitiated
I can safely say that this is the wrong thing
To be doing
Right now or any other time
Probably I won't
But, you know
If you keep asking so nice I might just
The question is who's perspective I'm taking right now
So much for the higher ground
Do I mind?
Do I fight?
Surprise
Something's tense, you know
Want more.
I'm not making progress
But I've got half the word
Its so arithmetic that that you
Know me no better
Probably?
You know what, Its all the same
When they have finished their testimony
The beast that rises out from the abyss
It will make war with them, and overcome them
It will make war with them, and kill them
I have become as the beasts of the land.

Burden

I don't want to be
Whatever it is that you're starting to look like lately
That crab on the bottom of the ocean
You know the one
So far away is every non-arbitrary thing
From the mind
So decadent
No feeling
Set me straight
No matter what way things will change all will be lost
If you take that step back now you won't find any footing
The world is gone
Whatever you've got, don't hold on
I know how you'd like to let go of everything
Just for a while
Or forever
Its just pretend
You sound so insincere
Such a fake
Your numbers don't hide anything
They're just as contrived
You're a burden, son

Little

There is nothing so small as I
(And I knew what came)
Grow older
(say I knew my fate)
Smaller
Nothing changes, nothing fades
Smaller
And small
Closing on the ground
Smaller smaller
I am
Getting little

Tired Flock recommends:
Neon Overlord
by Porn For Borgs
You want to get weird? This dude is a legit robot. Busting out his trans-human funk that echoes of the past's future, PFB sounds like an HK-47 mated with Flock of Seagulls, and Missing Persons
go to album
I've only just found these guys, but I wholly appreciate their melding of technicality with nerd-rock melodicism. Everything fits, sounds great, and is quite impressive: how math rock should be.
go to album
This album breaks the confines of metalcore and branches into bludgeoning sludge broken by fast, immensely technical, beatdowns. This one is up there with the best metalcore albums ever made.
