Listener - Plague Doctor Lyrics
This is how it's going to be. Striking while the iron's still warm. While you're not afraid to die.
Shielded with science from fear of certain death. Spending more on killing than anything else.
Propped up. Walls on the backs of our neighbors. Giving half your life for land no one can ever really own.
Asking yourself how did I get here again?
On your backs until the tires give out. The hole we build inside is a gift.
Never tired again. do you buy it? What kind of life is this?
Don't let go of the desk in front of you. The house that can never really be yours.
Surrounded by armor bought with priceless time. To keep the calm inside.
Broken jar, damaged people. Nothing to say? Biting your tongue.
Asking yourself how did I get here again?
Bow down or you'll be singled out. Face and palms up where we can see 'em.
On your backs until the tires give out. The hole we build inside is a gift.
In my dumb mind I don't recognize myself. Do you remember me? Drawing circles around my memories.
Setting traps for them, setting myself up, making a cocoon, breathing. Filling it with medicine.
Being empty. It's just as big as being filled.
I think this is a stop sign, it's hard to tell.
The heart in my head is aching from colliding head on, and I have a smokey mind.
Selling myself on caution. First with the color, then the good feeling.
I had a daydream. I have them every day, and in most every way my future lives inside.
So I try and pay attention, because I know it comes from somewhere, even if I can't remember, even it it goes to nowhere.
Death rattles on without me, or maybe that's my lungs, or the sound of my heart collapsing.
Help. I am alive.
I think this is a stop sign, it's hard to tell.
The heart in my head is aching from colliding head on, and I have a smokey mind.
Selling myself on caution. First with the color, then the good feeling.
I had a daydream. I have them every day, and in most every way my future lives inside.
So I try and pay attention, because I know it comes from somewhere, even if I can't remember, even it it goes to nowhere.
Death rattles on without me, or maybe that's my lungs, or the sound of my heart collapsing.
Help. I am alive.

So powerful. And kind. And kinda cute. Want to be on their show for the third time.
Pent Up Genes is such a fucking amazing tune.
The newest album has been on constant rotation for me since it came out. The growth of the band is nothing short of amazing....can't get enough
Dan has always produced some of the best lyrics in music, but it's the music that surprises a bit here, pleasantly. They dove head first into the post-rock sound on the last album, and now they're deep diving. Love it.
