lyrics
You're not your problem
You're not your illness
You're not a burden
You're not a sickness
Joyless, out of focus
Feeling hopeless, blank emotions
Up the darkness, up the dosage
No one knows it, keep it private
Staying busy, staying quiet
Keep on living, keep on trying
Life, degrading
Dreams, fading
Still keep on moving when life stops improving
I know, it's scary
the weight of the world that you carry
Working for something, then sinking and failing
I've been there, I've had it and each day I drag it
from here to the limit, just feeling so desperate
Like nothing's worth nothing, and life's stuck in waiting
like each word is maybe, and no one is listening
From Kaufman to Kafka the joke or the cockroach
But each serves a purpose, inside it's own context
But please try your hardest to wade through the garbage
and if you don't make it, I'll see you at the finish
You're not your illness
You're not a burden
You're not a sickness
Joyless, out of focus
Feeling hopeless, blank emotions
Up the darkness, up the dosage
No one knows it, keep it private
Staying busy, staying quiet
Keep on living, keep on trying
Life, degrading
Dreams, fading
Still keep on moving when life stops improving
I know, it's scary
the weight of the world that you carry
Working for something, then sinking and failing
I've been there, I've had it and each day I drag it
from here to the limit, just feeling so desperate
Like nothing's worth nothing, and life's stuck in waiting
like each word is maybe, and no one is listening
From Kaufman to Kafka the joke or the cockroach
But each serves a purpose, inside it's own context
But please try your hardest to wade through the garbage
and if you don't make it, I'll see you at the finish

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit

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!!
