If we started to think about numbers and means and ways
And our goal was clear we just let it be always strange
The way we spoke and the way we learned
And the way we kept them confused by what they heard us
Storming the lawn like freeing the bees
Of the mythic pleasure bringing you to your knees
The newsman combs his always-hair
Over skulls and lust for Nazi millionaires
First relation: the unknown becomes the known
Second relation: the known becomes unknown again
Third relation: the human divides it’s Self
And now my tongue moves faster than it ever has
Naming every season counting every coin
Wrapping every animal in the letters I join
The cult of the vowel to free up my skin
While the pixels pick your heart to find a better way in
The first rebellion: care for the broken heart
The second rebellion: embrace the human skin
And the third rebellion: level those phone towers
Even though you may never hear my voice again
Cutting through the sky
Cutting through the air
Cutting through the made up situations we fear
Plastic paranoia
Plastic anxiety
“Where are they now?” and “How long will they ever be here?”
And if the edges of the words get blurred by the rain
And get covered in the blood of the enemies we’ve slain
And the eyes of the State look at you and see seams
Then let the hand that has guided you crush them in between
The shape of your palms that shake every herb
That shake every planet and shake every verb
Shake those that bless you in your every “I love you”
And those that come to cut you fall breathless under Her foot

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
