Lean forward, stand on the edge
It's a beautiful view, but if you slip you'll be dead
Written in the fine print of your indulgences
Is a warning that this pleasure always comes with a risk
If you're up to take the test
Untouchable and blessed
You'll ride it out 'cause you don't have a motive
CHORUS:
He's got a thing for the darker side of life
You get a certain thrill from looking death dead in its eyes
That rush of calm you get to feel before you die
Is a very rare feeling to find
Hang loosely, don't be so careless
If you fall and hit the floor we'll have to clean up your mess
Everybody's worried 'bout their own grievances
Nobody knows their neighbors, blind to east and the west
Well, if tunnel vision's all you've got
Wouldn't you rather be shot
Than to take in what you know is best
CHORUS
Help me, lady, she's a-gonna take her sweet time
Her sweet time
Help me, lady, means nothing to my lone mind
My lone mind
CHORUS 2x

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
