DREW: the last time I got laid I went crazy for a week it's hard to know how to be with someone when you don't even know how to be yourself a little sweetness can mean a lot but what do you do when it means too much? I don't know if I can stand to fuck again but it means so much when you hold my hand in the dead of night maybe that's enough WILL: lack of connection closed off to the world barriers up to share a moment with no role briefly here all flesh, no goal [I wrote this song about a failed relationship, but by the time we had finished the song and started playing it out, I had already begun dating the woman I am marrying next month. Life throws you curveballs sometimes. Expressing the emotions of the moment is very important but it's also important to remember not to get too caught up in them. Every day is a new chance to change it all. --Drew]

WILL: tied to a story i yawn as it ends hands move slow time plays tricks DREW: I can't believe just how much time I lost being afraid the murder I thought I saw in their eyes couldn't touch me but maybe the love I could have found for myself would have made the last 20 years more bearable there's something to be said for living long enough to find the truth that was within you all along [This song is about dreading your own existence. Life is precious, but we are all struggling through it. Feeling disenchanted is normal. - Will]

DREW: please do not attempt to transgress by acting out the role of the oppressor menacing pose communicates cool but where does it all end? songs of status quo oppression we don't need to hear again nurturing victim's complexes to spur obsessions token fetishes for cathartic release of trauma WILL: egos betray us from a dark place of creativity comes inexcusable greed glorified and idolized we're distracted romantic male artist, what a tired ideal looped forever.. so many consumed BENSON: your ignorant tongue knows no bounds how can you be so blind of your actions [Written in response to the collective yawn from the scene at large when word leaked out of Michael Gira's sexual assault on Larkin Grimm. When artists who take transgressive postures in which they mirror the worst aspects of dominant culture, supposedly as ironic comment, are exposed as perpetuating those very aspects, that should recast their art and their lives in a new, more negative light. It's a shame that so rarely happens. --Drew]
