When the dust settled down
I swear I smelled graphite throughout the house
I let the dog in
Then I cleared out empties
From a bedside table
But I doubt it
Considering
That I've amounted
So far to nothing
I'd climb a wicker gate
Fear I can't pull myself out of bed
I'd climb that wicket gate
To the back steps of your house
Save me from the spreadsheets
My brain is feeling empty
Erasing
It's too abrasive to make up my mind
When I don't got one
I don't got one
I don't got one
Confrontation
I'm showing my teeth
But I doubt it
Considering
That I've amounted
So far to nothing
I'd climb a wicker gate
Fear I can't pull myself out of bed
I'd climb that wicket gate
To a back steps of your house
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
