see the side thats sharp
i wanna feel that
follow you around in the dark
so you can see that
we’re gonna bait the shark
you’re in the water
you either jump or you start
don’t even bother
everybody says
you’re in a fishtail
naked in your clothes
you tell a tall tale
magnifying glass
upon a small scale
smokescreens never last
illusion prevails
don’t know what to say
gotta gotta have your way
everybody looks away
gradients of gray
because you’re careful
gotta have a pound of flesh
laid on the table
gotta gotta do your best
willing or able
too drunk to undress
but are you stable?
your room is a mess
this is a black hole
self absolving sin
ignore a broken
step in the ladder
is he gonna do it again?
how will you answer?
tearing up his floor
until he caves in
we’re looking at you now
every time you turn around
try and touch another again
original sin
we’re gonna turn you out
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
The last blast from New Orleans punks Mystic Inane is this all-too-brief EP; their no-wave-influenced sound is both taut and playful. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
