preoperational stage
with no coming of age
another label for the "unstable"
as we disable the good and able
growing old and swallowed whole
packaged standards cut from a mold
dictate "what works"
dictate "what's fair"
push a meaningless test on the unprepared
differentiate yet assess the same
starving snakes high on stakes
a budget to manipulate
accommodations in vain
accusations and blame
swing your sticks and throw your stones
we don't bear this weight alone
constricted and swallowed whole
deteriorating flesh and bone.
finding no comfort in "you're not alone"
deteriorating flesh and bone
Since finding HIRS it's become a new favorite. Similar to The Armed (Untitled era) and with a great message but a little more grindy, which is perfect for me! I can't recommend them enough! zombiejoe
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
