What Sequel?

Brad Hebert Beyond excellent. A collection of tight rocking creative songs. Recognizable languages reconstructed in unique ways. Using loopholes to play by the rules. Hyper-cohesive songwriting. Catchy, fun, poignant, slightly disorienting. Somewhere (non-linearly) between the accessibility of The Why Album and the dissonance of Dumb Ask. Favorite track: Crazy.

thoughts keep rumbling through my head of people I know that might as well be dead I never see them they don't call or write but they occupy my brain in the middle of the night furniture and everything it's giving me a fright I feel so old 'cause I've known them for years voices still echoing in my ears I wish I could see them right in the here and now but they hide between the furrow they carved in my brow they live there but they live in my brain in the middle of the night they're crowding me out yeah my skin is getting tight I don't know how or where or when I'll see them in person if at all again but I do know soon if I don't smell their smell I'll kick them out of my head and they can go to hell and live there they just can't live in my brain in the middle of the night I'm serving up evictions it's a landlord's right
2.
obsolescence is built into the comfortable luxuriance of a measureless retreat the tahitian light oh well prosperity vacations in the languish of fatality sanctuary extinguished in the conquest of fertility the tahitian light in a stroke of green paint your war through a mine field inventing camouflage add local mixtures of color for warfare green combined with red gives us the brilliance of the sun take away the green and we bleed
3.
tossed upon a sea of ghosts hung out on the line as disembodied dreams murder all that we cherish it won't get dirty it won't come clean it is a product of this infernal machine there are no cogs or wheels to grind us down that's why we don't feel the pain lost among the tree limbs rattling in the wind as dismembered voices echo our fragmentation it won't get dirty it won't come clean it is a product of this infernal machine there are no whips or chains to beat us down that's why we don't believe we are slaves
4.
stop stop stop so unforcefully blinded eyes that see only dreams and chaos you bring the pitiful to me taken toward your turmoil dear jump toward you know, you know bandit hands bring backseat dreams radar bribes how certain swamps know what they swallow you know, you know printed patterns on the weeds and the shivering that borrows from salvation tears darling stop so unwillingly heroes breakdown clean what they bleed the highlights you bring the critical to me I leave you alone and exposed you know, you know prize the bones of what we breed even-handed frozen means of what's to follow and it's me you want to calm you down? bring you back to warmer sound? but no not now darling you know, you know cipher notes live in the skin lies are formed by pouncing on unreadability you know, you know oily words enchant the deed lupine vines strangle and hold to sweet and slumber I saw it an almost whisper your face crumbling I saw it snuggled against the fading away it's okay your face fell off

All Over 06:38
total war conquers the global there's no other place left to hide away as violence rises to meet the new tide empires march into the ocean one by one they form a straight line onward as the waves fade away beneath the horizon twilight shines global war threatens the total there's no other choice but to hide away as violence rises worldwide
6.
don't you know it knows before it knows it knows how to recognize a hopeful heart don't assume it won't be here before it finds you true believers never see
7.
someone leads you nowhere and you turn back to see what you left behind no one leads you somewhere and as in a dream you leap into the sky windows shatter through the starless tearing a hole between here and hereafter awakening between now and forever all around you the season blossoms and life spills outward to flood the earthly with fresh seductions tender as the dawn
8.
Simple Life 04:14
my friend he's got himself a simple life (he's dying) found him a way to slow down suicide by god, he's got himself a simple life (he's dying) killing the days with days gone by dim the lights inside where the years reside my friend, he's got himself a perfect life binding his fate to endless certainty
9.
carve an arrow into a tree and their symbols will not combine now imagine you're the tree and you will be wounded hold a feather up to a cloud and their patterns will not compare now imagine you're the cloud and you will be tickled as you float through the air a single throw of dice like the stars tumbling through the night until they come to rest with their upturned eyes exposed by the sun in the morning light gives birth to dreams of the day
10.
I found a way to get out of just what we have gotten ourselves into (but there's no time) there is no time for love the global ties have been undone and we're making new enemies every day there is no time for love the battle lines have been redrawn and we're building new weaponry every day

Crazy 04:24
