The sounds and flashing lights
They occupy my sight
Stealing bits and pieces of the moments in my life
But all that will remain
Are fragments of a brain
To reminisce and wish I hadn’t let myself become so numb
You know you can’t believe
The images you’ll see on your T.V.
Faces glazed in gloss and powder
Fake plastic smiles
And they’ll say you’re incomplete
Tell you what you need when what you need is to
Stop wasting your time
In this sedentary life
You feel like it’s alright
Embracing rapid vapid thoughts
Attention paid, attention lost
There must be much more to this than
Narcissistic wonderment
Cut the cord, embrace the panic
The air is warm, real light’s fantastic
You know you can’t believe
The images you’ll see on your T.V.
Faces glazed in gloss and powder
Fake plastic smiles
And they’ll say you’re incomplete
Tell you what you need when what you need is to
Stop wasting your time
Unplug your life, go outside
You might like it if you try
Break your modern magic mirror
Play like a child for awhile
Cut the power, this is our
Time to shine
Please don’t waste it on a lie
You know you can’t believe
The images you see on your T.V.
Faces glazed in gloss and powder
Fake plastic smiles
And they say you’re incomplete
Tell you what you need when what you need is to
Stop wasting your time
Please, please stop wasting my time
Please, please stop wasting our time

Leaning into the sparse, impressionistic sound of 2023's albu "Nature Morte," the Montreal metallurgists sound as heavy and radiant as ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
