skeptic_spice This is an album you would want to listen from start to finish. While Crack of the Egg is memorable and catchy, Hiding Your Face in the Wall feels like the apotheosis of all the sounds and styles they have experimented throughout and comes together in such a powerful way. Favorite track: Hiding your face in the wall.

jared Wow, like a history lesson in Chicago's music history. Hints of blues, industrial, midwest-emo, post-rock all blended into something special. Buy the cd! The Bad Religion cover is killer! Favorite track: Crack of the egg.

Intro 01:10

Verse 1: Low is the sound when you're at home You're at home and it floats along your chest and down to the ground down to the ground where you find yourself digging in the dirt digging in the dirt digging in the dirt Oh how hard Your nails dig down You feel the crack of the egg the crack of the egg try to look and hope for something real you feel the crack of the egg Chorus: Crack of the egg Crack of the egg Verse 2: Something deep in your heart is becoming cold (cold) Something new in your life is growing old (old) Chorus: Crack of the egg Crack of the egg Open your mind to sign of the times try to unwind Sign on the dotted line your names on the dotted line Crack of the egg Crack of the egg Remind yourself of the time try to unwind your names on the dotted crack of the egg crack of the egg remind rewind remind rewind rewind remind rewind remind rewind Verse 3: Washed ashore in a bottle of broken glass cracked and frayed This is the way this is the way we learn Bridge: This is the way we learn (8x) Breakdown: Push Rewind Push Rewind Push Rewind Push Rewind Rewind Rewind Rewind Outro: Oozing out to the skull Looking down in the ground And we’ve found Piled up on the mound Crack of the egg

Dreamcatcher 05:10
Seems its such a long long time In the depths of a silent mind And the scars we give to each other Why even bother? Its just another way for you To look at the stars again Its just another way To quiet your mind Chorus: Looking out your door (x3) Looking for more and more Its just a dream catcher (You can cache dreams away Open your eyes, projections of the signs) Its just a dream catcher (You can cache dreams away Open your arms, reflections of the sounds) You got me hanging by a thread (x4) Might as well be dead in your eyes Its such a cruel cruel world Chorus: Looking at the horizon (x3) Burn away all your lies Its just a dream catcher Its just a dream catcher Catch me and then Crush my dreams and Catch me and then Crush my dreams and Catch me and then Crush my dreams and Catch me in. The end (2x) Cash me in. the end. (2x)

Walk away 02:38
All the world Couldn’t seem to figure you out Or lock you up You always seemed to find a way out Tried to hide Didn’t want you cutting my face Or torturing me The things you do are such a disgrace You drink the blood And you You burn the flesh And you Just escaped To satisfy your only need A killing spree I only hope it isn’t me You want for lunch Couldn’t we just meet for tea Instead They say you’ve got this weird disease You burn the flesh And you You drink the blood And you Walk away

16 bar intro (3/4) - 212 bars (6/8) 111 bpm (Netta Fornario - Alpha Dt Omega) Open the gate on the faerie mound Giving new life to this sacred ground Levitating Hesitating Invocating Suffocating Wade Wade thru the wall And the only way to face this truth Fade Fade from your home well the only exit out is through Chorus: Hiding your face Hiding your face Hiding your face in the wall Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away ———— blackened the talisman now unwound (holding your breath as you tumble down) Wearing the mark of the beast you’ve found Levitating Hesitating Invocating Suffocating Verse 2: Green Green is the gaze As you look at your familiars face Haze Hazy, erased Well Your shadows left an open space Phase Your souls out of phase No longer Anchored to this place Chorus: Hiding your face Hiding your face Hiding your face in the wall Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away Looking up to the sky for something to bring you to ground Looking up to the sky for something to bring you to ground (hiding your faith in the sky) (looking for something to bring you to ground) (Chorus) Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away Hiding your face in the wall looking for someone to take you away
