News came in from yesterday
It's not what you thought it was gonna be
Listen up and breathe it in
Before the air outside becomes too thin
Storm clouds are forming in the corners of our minds
Paths just keep on winding around bodies stacked a mile high
You gotta run, You gotta duck, You gotta crawl
You gotta find a way to make it out before the fall
Sometimes the earth moves and slips from underneath
Sometimes the tremors come and rip apart the floor
You'll feel the weight when you're crushed beneath the teeth
There's nothing left but you'll still crawl back in for more
To find an open door
A door with roads that set us free
Away from pain and misery
A brand new path for you and me
We’ll push on through
I’ve got a plan that’s forming in my mind
A master plan that takes the wreckage out and leaves it all behind
Brick by brick, bone by bone, we’ll rebuild more
The time has come for us to grow stronger than we were before
Heady hardcore punk from Black Aubergine has groove, heft, and an experimental edge percolating behind the blown-out surface. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
