lyrics

I’ll find my own way

through that dark arcade

only a candle to light my way

don’t follow

Where there are monsters lurking in the shadows

while the garroter waits by the gallows

Where all our heroes turn out to be liars

where all my dreams stagnate, expire

My minds been turning

down wrong streets again

my eyes are rolling

in the back of my head

don’t follow

I’ll find my own way

Where there are monsters lurking in the shadows

while the garroter waits by the gallows

Where all our heroes turn out to be liars

where all my dreams stagnate, expire

I touch the mirror

I feel my skin

while my reflection

is crumbling

my heart is burning

its not pretend

the vortex spirals

pulling me in

“Children will always be afraid of the dark,

and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse

will always tremble at the thought

of hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life

which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars,

or press hideously our own globe

in unholy dimensions

which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.”

Ive got a restless tongue

licking my teeth

try to find the rotted one

pluck out the rotted one

Ive got a restless tongue

turning to dust

try to find that rotted one

i no longer trust

I tried to burn the book

but the pages never took

Present Tense

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580

Mike Patton is a vocal genius, Tomahawk are the great American hope for all bands to aspire to and this album just speaks to so many generations, clever well written music and sounds amazing. Darknight

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
