lyrics

if a quiet conscience sleeps in thunder (sleeps in thunder)
then in torrential downpour i dwell (i dwell)
the overbearing wealth of discontentment
the emptiness beyond our means
has held me captive in my own familiar cell

"i'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance"
but when i open my mouth nothing comes out
the song of the unsaved remains unsung

a self-righteous, self-serving
self-centered song of sovereignty
a song beckoning the end of days
its refrain sung on high
oh, to be lulled into quiescence by sweet naivety

but such is not the case
my throat breathes fire, inharmoniously
i'd rather choke on the fiction that is fed to me
than play my part in this empty charade

about

Tharsis They Michigan

"If you like metal-infused post-hardcore like Converge, Botch and Trap Them, boy oh boy, are you gonna love Tharsis They. Somehow these guys manage to both out-hardcore and out-metal all of the aforementioned bands to concoct a sonic stew of thrashy, gnarly, gut-punching brutality." - Metalsucks.net ... more

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
