about

Shout out to the Raging Nathans for inspiring me to write this whole song in a single morning. Those dudes can rip!

lyrics

I'm spinning cotton into thread
Weaving tapestries in my head
Searching for the patterns within to make this all make sense
But what comes out is a mess
of knotted twist and frayed edges
That look nothing like the starting conceptual image

Feelings of futility flood my frontal lobe
And pave this labyrinthian path I can't see
Obstacles obtrude my thoughts
Is this even worth pursuing?

Fight this feeling
Push through
Don't let your self-doubt disturb or dissuade you
Don't acquiesce
We can't cave in
Or let our negative inclinations win

Again drawing blood from this stone
A problem perpetually posed
Reaching the recesses of my reason
Importance overblown
I see a spark deep down within
Embarking to keep it lit
The chaos of my mind determined to extinguish it

Here we fucking go again
Another exercise of indecision
Obstacles obtrude my thoughts and I...
Damn it.

Genesis is the end of nearly every fucking thing that I attempt to rend
Genesis, stumped again; the moment of birth, frustration sets in
Genesis is the end; right from the start I can't impart these cliched perspectives
Genesis, can't comprehend: what's the point?
Ain't got no choice in how this brain stifles my voice

We Scholars Dayton, Ohio

Two dudes writing songs.

Both of them like philosophy and punk rock and literature and the Reds and being accidentally pretentious by pretending to be pretentious. Brandon also has a fervent distaste for gilded-age mustache core. See Pitchfork for an example. ... more
