This Pen of Darkness
from Curation by PlasticBag FaceMask
lyrics
This road you paved for me has become anfractuous.
Counting every breath
Check your bordereau.
It's printed with an ikat.
Skedaddle.
All this world can be is serotinal.
All this world can be is pari passu.
I was born drowning
Like a roach in a mall
A mole’s den in a concrete ash tin
My friends are on the other side of the looking glass
Dying each day and safer than I
I’m feeling compressed
The weight of the world on both sides
Current so turbulent he tosses us around
Left standing on your hands
Can’t tell up from down
Come home so we can auspicate.
Come home.
Counting every breath
Check your bordereau.
It's printed with an ikat.
Skedaddle.
All this world can be is serotinal.
All this world can be is pari passu.
I was born drowning
Like a roach in a mall
A mole’s den in a concrete ash tin
My friends are on the other side of the looking glass
Dying each day and safer than I
I’m feeling compressed
The weight of the world on both sides
Current so turbulent he tosses us around
Left standing on your hands
Can’t tell up from down
Come home so we can auspicate.
Come home.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.
