The knot in my throat hasn’t budged since I was five years old
Five things I can touch five things I can hear five things I can see
One more time
Mom I don’t want to die
One more time
I pray everyday but it won’t go away
If I didn’t do anything why do I feel so guilty?
Mom I don’t wanna die
I’d deal with the devil if I thought I would be fine
One more time
If I’m scared of myself shouldn’t you feel the same way too?
Can you make me better?
Can you make me holy?
If I didn’t do anything why do I feel so guilty?
Can you make me better?
Can you make me holy?
Can you save me?
So I can feel it fully?
God please forgive me
One more time
Grin and grit my teeth
I'm sick of biting my tongue
But I can make this real
I can say it with my chest
Fuck you and fuck the rest
Even at my worst, I’ll always be your best
Fuck you and fuck the rest
Arrogant, self assured, your greatest threat
My reflection glows and i don’t know who I see
My fists are clenched but they’re not a part of me
My reflection glows and i don’t know who I see
It’s still and empty but it’s more than you’ll ever be
But I can make this real
Grin and grit my teeth
I'm sick of biting my tongue
I’ll say it with my chest
I bleed in the dirt of my family tree
Spite is the only thing that fuels me
I bleed in the dirt of my family tree
I bleed in the dirt of my family tree

I am kicking myself for being so late to this band. I found out about them from their HIRS collaboration and went straight to this album, oh my godddd it is incredible. My turntable stays at 45RPM because I keep putting this one back on. Keep pushing yall. Trillis Schlafly

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
