lyrics

I am seeping through the cracks, this is my 13th meltdown.
Left me out in the bright lights, I'm shaking through these winter nights and I'm never warming up.

Guess we're safer in line. (You better know your place)
I've got to face it, my body's wasted it's spine. (Where do we go? Nobody knows, my friend.)

So what if I said this was fine? Honestly I meant it at the time.
Tell yourself that you've been trying by writing thoughts in chorus and rhyme.

Sinking deeper underground, don't pull me up I'll bring you down with me.
In this hole that I have found, my heart beat is the only sound keeping me alive.

I've got to face it, my blood is wasted.

So what if I said this was fine? Honestly I meant it at the time.
Tell yourself that you've been trying by writing thoughts in chorus and rhyme.

They say try not to let it bring you down.
But I can't fight that weight when it's around.

I am seeping through the cracks, this is my 13th meltdown.

So what if I said this was fine? Honestly I meant it at the time.
Tell yourself that you've been trying by writing thoughts in chorus and rhyme.

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 4 fans who also own “Anacrusis”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
