I’m a colorless banner flown at half mast
I’m a vessel for last contact
I’m a secondhand piano incapable of tune
Providing the score for “gone too soon”
I’ll test the water
I won’t dive right in
That’s too personal
I’m too delicate
I’ll test the water
I won’t dive right in
I’m not comfortable
I rarely am
Been a sideline voyeur, a conscientious deflector
Been an underpin for something better
Been faulty poet, a personal arsonist
A last responder to my own self interest
Cold-shouldered by design
Sleeping in on borrowed time
Let’s sing, just one more
I’m a trapeze act missing contact
A long way down to the floor
Been a broken record, a conscientious deflector
Been a sounding board for an absent savior
Been a faulty poet, an ambivalent nihilist
A last responder to my own self interest
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
