Lysekno had a bright idea
Set to keep plates full
Brilliant man just how could he fail
20 million are curious too
Robespierre had a bright idea
He said let’s make heads roll
Brilliant man just how could he fail
He was left to ask that from the basket
Sometimes the collected wisdom of strangers can put a smart man squarely in danger
Vesco had a bright idea
Take and run when caught
Brilliant man just how could he fail
With bad dealers every deal goes wrong
Leslie had a bright idea
Look good while you rob
Brilliant man just how could he fail
Extracurriculars come with a cost
Sometimes the collected wisdom of strangers can put a smart man squarely in danger
I used to believe a thing just because I heard it and now I confess I was far stupider for it
Getty was so blessed
Cards pinned to his heart
A clever man just what went bad
Argue ransoms until grandsons lost
Matusow was so blessed
Got on the winning side
A clever man just what went bad
Can’t come home when you burn it down
Sometimes the collected wisdom of strangers can put a smart man squarely in danger
I used to believe a thing just because I heard it and now I confess I was all the dumber for it

Your place in the sun that shitty apartment where your friends are
That space you can run to rather than address the test to your rot
A place in the ground plywood casket next to loved ones
That space that you’re found bloated off-white blue in two feet of mud
Tragedy is comedy minus yourself
A tawny pale glow
Headlights in a ditch below
AM on route 32
Guard rail in the shape of bloom
Now here’s some bad news when you’re pressed your friends peel off from you
Add some sad news when you’re pressed your friends catch a case of self-interest
Your building burns in the distance
Your loved ones arrive
To watch from the hoods of their cars
They lower the radio to listen to you die
Your lonely gravesite nobody visits in the daylight
For fear your name might expose what we already know about those
sonsovbitches who only tell but never show
A tawny pale glow
Headlights in a ditch below
AM on route 32
Guard rail in the shape of bloom
When they come for the show
The headlines read like a joke
Tragedy is comedy when it’s someone else
Let’s laugh ourselves to death
I still find it funny
Let’s laugh ourselves to death
I can’t help myself and I won’t try

Hand to your forehead, sign you feel stress.
Something in your gut tells you "this is it."
Phone is dead so there's no ambulance.
Palm reader warns me, "more of this shit."
Is it forever though? "Man, you know it is."
Can't be left alone? "Sorry, not a chance."
Unmarked grave, mom didn't wanna spend.
Who can blame her? Best to best forget.
She can start again, with a new kid.
First time went bad, time to start again.
With so many reasons to hate me, why lie?

Remember To Forget

Believe the unbelievable - feel what it's like
Thinking the unthinkable - feel what is life
I'm doing the impossible - remember to forget
Deny the undeniable - I can't remember yet
So sing a little pop song - then everybody loves you
Just sing a little pop song - then everybody loves you
See the unforeseeable - and see that it's a choice
Perceive the unperceivable - my vision and my voice
Explain the unexplainable - to those who never feel
Convincing the invincible - is insight not for real
So sing a little pop song - then everybody loves you
Just sing a little pop song - then everybody loves you
So live a little pop life - real or pretend
Sing a little pop song - like it will never end

Ah mais alors quel gros son mes aïeux !!! La chanson exotic beaches me fait penser dans sa deuxième moitié à Korn. Et le son général aussi, à un Korn plus underground. Les textes sont superbes, et chantés / scandésde façon tout à fait originale, beau boulot monsieur le chanteur. Un disque qui m'accroche.

Somehow, I missed this album in 2020, glad I found it now, just awesome. Atmospheric, heavy, with some interesting melodies and lyrics. Listened to it over and over many times now and have always found something new. Desert Rambler, Folding and Shapeshifter are excellent. Looking forward to more (hopefully not in another 20 years!)

A fusion of pop and hardcore, but not in the way you're thinking. It rules.
