From the split 7"/CDEP with Light the Fuse and Run
lyrics
And so I stopped for a minute.
I stopped and stood still and let time pass or run out a lot sooner than I can or I will.
And I could give a fuck about voices or pictures or what we’ve known or what we’ve said cause it’s all wrapped up in star or stripes or left to awful dreams inside my head.
I’m failing to understand what I’ve never looked for over a shoulder, all the while overstepping the obvious, falling short or shame.
Putting my hand over my heart, but forgetting its name.
My finger’s on the pulse… and though this pen writes we still live in a world waiting to be written.

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey

Know how Matthew Stewart talks about being in the right place and right time? This is the right place and the right time, no matter the decade you were born in. Closed hands, open arms, notjing you have ever thought will be worthless, after hearing it repeated from these guys. Their sadness saved us from anything worse than death.
