Watching your body twist and tumble
Convulsing on the floor
This chemical possession, is stretching out your jaw
I could get high from the foam on your lips
Let it stick to my brain, like an arachnoid cyst
Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains
So I could be the one left twitching in my grave
Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply
Then fall back into myself
It’s not like I’m any better, I hurt myself every day
Ulcers form in my stomach, light is swelling my brain
Digging until I find a better way
They've constructed me by cruel design
With hands of frailty and callous minds
Keep me stabilised, sedate me
Curse my body intravenously
Spill the venom til my skin goes white
Spill the serum and watch me writhe
Most days I wish we could switch bodies or brains
So I could be the one left twitching in my grave
Left paralysed by the bodies in the gutter, I breathe in deeply
Then fall back into myself
I wanna sleep until its dark outside

The whole album is pure gold! Sometimes I just sit down and listen to the whole album and do nothing else. Awesome rhythms, riffs and Courtney's golden voice! <3 Pazi
Nearly a decade after their last LP, the Chicago post-metal trio resurface with a punishing concept album set in an apocalyptic wasteland. Bandcamp New & Notable May 5, 2024
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic. porcelainheart-
