lyrics
I built a scaffold around you
Placed myself in every stone we’d stack
What if the home that we built
Still stood tall once the foundations cracked
This never seemed possible when we were hand in hand by the seine
Oh how lovers fall and hope their heads won’t break the surface again
We took our time, let our fingers grow tired
From gripping onto what was falling apart
But memories are hopeless liars
They don’t recall that this was wrong from the start
This architecture failed me
It’s fair to say that it failed you back
We can’t say which one came first
And claim defense when we both attack
I was dragged out of the rubble
Built anew before I changed my name
You bound my hands to stop the bleeding
From picking at the scabs again
Every brick found a new tessellation
The edges now seemed so clear
Rebuilding a friendship forbidden
I found a shape that reflected me
These walls now as defenses for the moment
They hold my past within
So push me back down
I won’t get back up
I will just shut up
Push me back down and I will get up
Placed myself in every stone we’d stack
What if the home that we built
Still stood tall once the foundations cracked
This never seemed possible when we were hand in hand by the seine
Oh how lovers fall and hope their heads won’t break the surface again
We took our time, let our fingers grow tired
From gripping onto what was falling apart
But memories are hopeless liars
They don’t recall that this was wrong from the start
This architecture failed me
It’s fair to say that it failed you back
We can’t say which one came first
And claim defense when we both attack
I was dragged out of the rubble
Built anew before I changed my name
You bound my hands to stop the bleeding
From picking at the scabs again
Every brick found a new tessellation
The edges now seemed so clear
Rebuilding a friendship forbidden
I found a shape that reflected me
These walls now as defenses for the moment
They hold my past within
So push me back down
I won’t get back up
I will just shut up
Push me back down and I will get up

KOMBAT - NEW DIMENSIONS OF PAIN

This is some seriously good old school death thrash! Every track tells its own story, some leaning more towards thrash, others towards death. I felt transported to the early 90s, back when I was still finding out about the more extreme sides of metal, and shit, that felt good!

Expected this to be a screamo record since it's on Miss The Stars, but it's more of an ambient/post-rock release. Reminds me a little of the era of early Sufjan Stevens without the annoying stuff. Really good music for studying, staring out the window on a rainy day, etc.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!
