Never Rest

It's never been explained to me
Where all our debts keep going
Always looking, never learn to see
Given the chance we never stop
Always rain on your big party
Another west wind blowing
Another shark that's kept at bay
We'll see
It fades away
It's just the dimming light of day
You're safer bet
It never rests
Every voice within
And every sound it makes
Set up to scorch my skin
For all the time it takes
If I can't say it like I mean it
What's left then but giving in?
Sunset staid, lay down in the bed you made

Lake

Sit by the lake in the cold
And try to understand
Never heard, but twice told
Like ice wearing thin
Watch your youth and grow old
Cigarettes in the sand
Place a bet or just fold
So good at sinking, never learned to swim
Never felt it before
All these premonitions digging in
Try to settle the score
All these lives that you've lived
Nobody told you it could all come down to one wrong call

Hidden Cost

The attention you pay
All the words you might say
All your piss in the wind
I'm seeing the world in old ways
I'm looking on to darker days
A sacrament for your sin
So fill me up with a shot
So I know what I'm not
A final friendly display
Turn to tell me and then
Another foe for your friend
Another price left to pay
They tried to teach you
But the conclusion's all told
They tried to reach you
But your conviction's already been sold
So fan the flame and come and bear witness
We can't complain, it's all part of the process
A drop of blood in a sea of entertainment
What good's a song if you can't even make rent?

In The Face Of

Sing it
Like your body's not your own
Like the world is in your throat
Sing it
Like you felt it from the start
Like you grew it from your heart
I remember you
I forget you
It's the best I can do
I remember you
It takes your time
It's yours, not mine
The time that you gave
All your yesterdays
Another book on a shelf
You'll never read it yourself

Lambs
03:50
|

|
Stuck in my memory
Slow van drove without you
Car seat and apathy, frozen
"Chin up" is what they say
"So it goes, I got you"
Strength to bear the weight, stalling
We've seen better days
All lambs before the faith
The wolves, they salivate
I strip it all away
All I know about you
Sit back and in the haze, I'm falling
Just ash among the flames
Blow by blow, monotony
And all my past mistakes come calling
It's not your memory

Divide By One
04:22
|
|||
|
Melody, sweet song to me
Pull to see it all undone
Fortify in unity
But everything divides by one
Common call, a parasol
Cut away the noise and din
Blind the eye to summer skies
To shield us from the mess we're in
History, a pendulum that swings
Fantasy of desert sand and springs
A tired hand upon a dull knife
Cut the cord and see the other side
Always pick and choose
And build an ever smaller view
Just cut until it's up to snuff
Never enough

One of my favorite albums of all time. Turnover really hit a sound here that resonates with me deeply, and I often find myself coming back to this record and falling in love with it all over again. The drums and bass are greatly underrated on this album, creating their own unique melodies that fit within the song and create something new rather than just follow the guitars. Nothing beats the somehow joyful and somber sound of this record.

Blistering post-punk from the UK powered by 100mph guitars and panicked vocals.

This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody.

You Wanted the Bike

The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions.

Сатира и Юмор Начала XXI в.

Noisy Siberian post-punk with mathcore's sense of inventive tempo and vocals that nearly howl with urgent insistence.

Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics.
