lyrics

it should never have to happen this way.
why must it be so absolute and commonplace?
i can’t live with all this devout destruction
caused by so-called natural selection and depression.
if i be still enough i might survive this exit.
i could say i lost control
i never had it to begin with.
just as a night on those streets is a universal gift;
so is the empty feeling of a loss like this.
our eulogy played from
the only lit window,
reminding us this type
of connection can’t fucking last.
the affliction of denial
is the very skin we live and die in
and just like them, when it’s over
we’re not ever coming back.
and all the upsetting things
which keep us from sleep;
nothing could have prepared us
for all of this grief.
the only cure for the pain of hope
is being reassured by possibilities.
our continents will connect again
but by then we’ll all be long dead.
...we'll all be ...long dead.
and i still wonder if those two stars
were meant to be aimed at you and me.
i confess it’s what I hoped for,
to be forever liberated from our miseries.
(for Karolina Misiewicz and her family)

Bleeding Tongues Portland, Oregon

I have been playing in political punk bands for the past 12 years. This is the form of music I've been involved with this whole time: punk & hardcore & nothing else. So this project is a change of pace and direction into that indescribable, slow, painfully sad genre that I think everyone has a soft spot for, whether they admit it or not. Full length album coming soon! -Matt Svendsen ... more
