We don't want the pain you offer
We don't want to be your author
Thank you for giving me every reason
You thrive on devastated ground
You wish that we would come around
But there'll soon be nothing where you were
Thank you for giving me every reason.
Your ship's here; it's gonna take you away.
And splinter in a thousand pieces, into a thousand pieces
On some rocks, far away.
And you'll be under the water, suffocating under the water
Somewhere far away.

What can we say
After we’re gone
To keep you away?
What can we make
To move you along?
To push you away?
Hidden away
Ten thousand years gone
A poisonous grave
“What you do is up to you” et. al.
Dig a hole, and it’s over now
What can we say?
What can we make?
What can we say?
To keep you away?
What can we say?
What can we make?
To keep you away?

You push, you lie
You sell the sky
You make, you try
You fool, you fall
And I know why.
You ran, you won
You call, they come
No fair, no fun
You feel undone
And I know why.
You pushed too hard
Now choose your card
When we restart
You'll stop your heart
And I know why.

Tear the fucker down
Throw it away
Once you know, you’re never going back
So look at it this way:
Tear the fucker down
Throw it away
Once you know, you’ll never look at it the same
Watch the fuckers drown
Day after day
Breathing slowed and vision turning black
A hook and an ice tray
Charting the numbers out
Lines on a page
Safe on an upper floor while the streets are washed away
Oh I’m okay
In a room
With no air
What might await
In a room with no air?

Your tired body fights a battle every night
Until the blur of the morning
And it's faster than you'd like.
Every ounce it takes to pull your mind away
From the wave that's slowly approaching
It got the best of them, and it could get you still.
And you know it will.
Drawing pictures out and setting them in frames
Of everything that's coming
I'm in control tonight.
Tomorrow waking up, and then it's yesterday
Going backwards thereafter
I'll relive it all, and this time I won't fight
I know what I want, but the moment fades.
I'm running out of steam, and I'll forget today.
I know what I want, but the moment fades.
I'm writing what I need; it only falls away.
Alone on the edge of a frozen lake
And all of my dreams...
I'll forget today.

Hex Map Boston, Massachusetts
Hex Map is Mike Gintz and Nicholas Burgess.
Hex Map recommends:
Agh fuck it's so good. Gritty grungy post-hardcore melodic grunge. Awesome songwriting, weird slippery vocal hooks, great drumming, great sounding recording. Agh fuck aghhhh
go to album
World-Destroying Zig-Zags
by Ho-Ag
Long-time Boston spazzy math-punks take a deep breath and make their best and most dynamic record. Enigmatic lyrics and an overall atmosphere of paranoiac dread hang atop it all. Best of 2013 contenda
go to album
Propulsive feedback-soaked basement punk jams from Boston expatriates now hanging out in cow country. RIYL dirty carpets, jumping around and slipping and hitting your head on the water heater, parties

Electric Brain Electric Silence

Not my usual flavour of choice. BUT, I've thoroughly enjoyed the "prickle" track, almost Marylin Manson'esq and it went down a treat.

The way the guitars weep emotion while being utterly catchy as all hell, makes me appreciate our world & the people in it that strive to bring light into our lives by authentic works from the heart. This hits so deep

In Now Less Than Ever
by Twin Drugs
Thunderous, imposing shoegaze with thick, syrupy rivers of guitar and drifting, dreamlike vocals.
