lyrics

I won’t mince matters lest I laugh
I’m an everyday matter of fact
I’ve been middle of the road
For as long as these eyes have known
Leave that nerve on the ledge
It’s all we have left

What I lack in luster, I find in rituals of artifice
Oh it’s just a trick of confidence

I’ve been my own half glass of hope and lifeline
Of the arch and Midwest and forlorn kind
Let’s not split the River Styx in two
My steely guts keep me alive for you
Leave that nerve on the ledge
It’s all I have left

Lean into Eros
Is not the same thing
As lean into arrows
Despite the chance
Of being hurt

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
