The promises you made,
The actions I can’t do,
Reduce and define,
A shape I can’t fit through,
Not moulded from clay,
Delivered from a womb,
Reborn every day,
Until I see my tomb,
Look at me,
Straight in the face,
These days are burning,
Look at me breaking the ties,
Look at me,
Straight in the face,
These days are burning,
Look at me straight in the eyes,
You’re paralysed,
These blemishes don’t fade,
Like confidence in you,
Been broken before,
But now just break on through,
I scrub my skin raw,
See right through to the bone,
Eye sockets I claw,
Adrift and all alone,
Look at me,
Straight in the face,
These days are burning,
Look at me breaking the ties,
Look at me,
Straight in the face,
These days are burning,
Look at me straight in the eyes,
You’re paralysed,
Hold my place
I’m burning,
Fuck your lies,
Look at me,
Hold my place,
I’m burning,
Look at me straight in the eyes.

New York hardcore meets classic thrash metal meets Jane's Addiction-esque alternative on the Brooklyn crushers' sensational debut. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2023
