he drinks deep of the hope / pouring out of his chest like honey
but down inside he knows / he’ll never gaze upon this land again
so he scrawls on the door / “we may not make it through this, my friend”
and he blinds himself with his pen / so he may feel his way to bethlehem once again
drunk on the hope
of human life
against all logic and sense
drunk on false hope
On human love
against all logic and sense
FOR EVER was a subtle departure from the sounds on their first EP, You Are Loved, but this release really turns the progression of sounds and themes up to 11. A complex combination of somber themes, hi-energy riffing, moody sludge, and floaty melodies. Cannot wait for the full release. Them boys did it again. Justin
