lyrics
Under the stars we sleep
Betrayed by our concrete and bricks we can no longer trust
Homes turned to graves in the dust
All that once was solid
The city capsizes and everyone's overboard
The earth broke its vow
And danced like the sea
I said "what shall I cry?"
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
Where will, where will we journey from here?
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
When will the glory be revealed?
The monsters think they can come back
And take hold of old haunts
We stand at the gates with our swords
Hunt down and kill as we've sworn
Hidden bright cogs are turning
All your uniforms will help to heal the wounds and to rebuild walls
But nothing will bring back my love
Betrayed by our concrete and bricks we can no longer trust
Homes turned to graves in the dust
All that once was solid
The city capsizes and everyone's overboard
The earth broke its vow
And danced like the sea
I said "what shall I cry?"
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
Where will, where will we journey from here?
All is all lost in the dust
Knocked from our knees to our backs
When will the glory be revealed?
The monsters think they can come back
And take hold of old haunts
We stand at the gates with our swords
Hunt down and kill as we've sworn
Hidden bright cogs are turning
All your uniforms will help to heal the wounds and to rebuild walls
But nothing will bring back my love

supported by 11 fans who also own “Earth Broke Its Vow”
This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.
