The curtain call is taking all your sense of self-control
Well everything she does in bed, she picked up from rock and roll
So I'm unraveling her nylons just to pull her strings
To fill her heart with thoughts of violent dreams
While singing
Liberty, this is liberty
Everybody, everybody thinks you're dead
And I can't sleep because at night in my dreams
I see terrible, terrible things
Stop, don't shoot
I've got so much left to prove
I swear I never, never knew you were alive
So don't leave me here to die
Alone and cold on Valentine's
I swear I never knew you were alive
And it's baby, oh love
Is this the end?
Is this the end of all our hopes?
Is it the veil and hangman's rope
For you and for me?
I don't pay to sleep around
I just cover up my eyes
Pick my jawbone off the ground
Everybody, everybody thinks you're dead

The Chicago indie-rock trio deliver an album for remembering the revitalizing feeling of inhaling fresh air—the aural equivalent of a gleam of hope Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 20, 2020
Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2016
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
