lyrics
My brother, he was faithful
In wisdom he would say -
“The pale horse falters
Death scares no longer
The two horned draws near
Forget all fear”
But then it all kicked off
One Friday, two o’clock
They picked you up and I’ve not seen you in weeks, I worry
Timelapse this slow collapse
So tired of being entrapped
Change my name, shave my beard but every day it’s the same
High in Phoenician sky
I saw the alibi die
Four creatures circle above with many eyes
Riding the Eblaite air
Calling “enough is enough”
Four creatures circle above with many eyes
Rooms filled with smoke
Blood pressure rise
Lines of red are torn through
I need a line to find you
Words are bent on Straight Street
Lower me over those city walls
Marksmen are everywhere
Looking out on the square
This Spring feels like the worst winter we’ve had in years
We shot some video
Scenes that would not be shown
Think what you will but the devil’s in the pixels on my phone
In wisdom he would say -
“The pale horse falters
Death scares no longer
The two horned draws near
Forget all fear”
But then it all kicked off
One Friday, two o’clock
They picked you up and I’ve not seen you in weeks, I worry
Timelapse this slow collapse
So tired of being entrapped
Change my name, shave my beard but every day it’s the same
High in Phoenician sky
I saw the alibi die
Four creatures circle above with many eyes
Riding the Eblaite air
Calling “enough is enough”
Four creatures circle above with many eyes
Rooms filled with smoke
Blood pressure rise
Lines of red are torn through
I need a line to find you
Words are bent on Straight Street
Lower me over those city walls
Marksmen are everywhere
Looking out on the square
This Spring feels like the worst winter we’ve had in years
We shot some video
Scenes that would not be shown
Think what you will but the devil’s in the pixels on my phone

supported by 11 fans who also own “Four Creatures”
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.
