Sink To The Beat

Artists : Cursive : Sink To The Beat

I’ll try to make this perfectly clear
I’m so transparent I disappear
these words I lyrically defecate upon songs
I boldly claim to create
clint steps in to establish the beat
4/4 hip hop and you don’t stop
this unique approach to start an ep
intended to shock, create a mystique
a cheap strategy, a marketing scheme building awareness for the next lp
they’ve got a good fan base, they’ve got integrity,
they’ve got a dc sound,
shudder to think, fugazi and chapel hill around the early 90’s
this is the latest from saddle creek
some melodies are like disease they can inflame yr misery
they will infect yr memory
they haunt me
some memories are like disease
they can inflame yr misery
they will infect yr melody
they haunt me
I write these words with a motherly intuition
I shape these sounds into harmonic apparitions
but I can see through these haunting themes
my moldy dreams are debased by the same hands that shaped them
I’ll try to make this perfectly clear
I’m so reflective I am a mirror
these words I’m driving into the ground
the same words I scream out over the crowd
I’m just an airwave rolling around
I storm and crash without a soud
there’s all these islands out at sea
I can’t reach
I’m just an airplane diving down
I storm and crash without a sound
engines exploding silently out at sea
where waves cares unstable egos
where melody is completely swallowed
where songwriters chain their songs to their ankles
and sink to the beat
til it stops and bursts under pressure
let it burst and bloom
let it burst and bloom
