When all the flight is clipped at wing
And felled at bole to count the rings
May all your anger fill the lake
To quench your thirst and replicate
The way you felt before you knew
Before all this, when it was true
But melodies were only scales
Our riverbed, the tallest tales
So you set the fracture in cases of plaster
That it may sit the way it’s meant
And you keep it dry, when they ask you you lie
Cuz you’re too tough to learn but also too soft to die
They offer nothing more than what you’re asking for
You curse your luck, the way the currents dragged you out
Reach for the nearest beam, feel it strain under your knees
It’s all a blur from there and fluorescence wakes you up - to find that
They’ve set your fractures in layers of plaster
So you can heal the way you’re meant
Come down as your head spins, you search for the exit
You’re too old to learn but this time too tough to die

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
