live life on display
a copy of a copy- a derivative plague
no curtains on the stage
a photo of a photo as experience fades
these filtered pictures replace words
that used to stand for something- be so much more
and there's nothing i can say
that hasn't been said in a much better way
oh so boring, oh so plain
oh so boring, i'm just the same
no calluses on my hands or on my finger tips
no scars on my legs, or scabs on my knees
no dirt on my feet or chips in my teeth
i've become too frail
no blackened fingernails
my vision's too clear
no ringing in my ears
i miss the days where "the world at our finger tips"
was just a metaphor and it's crippling
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
