Sink to the Beat

I'll try to make this perfectly clear

I'm so transparent I disappear

these words I lyrically defecate

upon songs I boldly claim to create

Clint steps in to establish the beat

4/4 hip hop and you don't stop

this unique approach to start an EP

intended to shock, create a mystique

a cheap strategy, a marketing scheme

building awareness for the next LP

they've got a good fan base

they've got integrity

they've got a DC sound

Shudder to Think, Fugazi

and Chapel Hill Around The Early 90's

this is the latest from Saddle Creek

some melodies are like disease

they can inflame your misery

they will infect your memory

they haunt me

some memories are like disease

they can inflame your misery

they will infect your melody

they haunt me

I write these words with my motherly intuition

I shape these sounds into harmonic apparitions

but I can see can see through these haunting things

my moldy dreams are debased by the same hands that shaped them

I'll try to make this perfectly clear

I'm so reflexive i am a mirror

these words I'm driving into the ground

the same words I scream out over the crowd

I'm just an airwave rolling around

I storm and crash without a sound

There's all these islands out at sea

I can't reach

I'm just an airplane diving down

I storm and crash without a sound

engines exploding silently out at sea

where waves caress unstable egos

where melody is completely swallowed

where songwriters chain their songs

to their ankles and

sink to the beat

'til it stops and

bursts under pressure

let it

burst and bloom

hit song

let it burst and bloom
