lyrics

We said we'd drawn the last line, we made all our intentions clear.
What better time than now? What better place to die than here?

But I'm not giving this up.
We said we’d drawn the last line.

Hungry eyes surround me, they're starving.
They feed on your insides. No warning, it's happening.

The sheep caught out in the landslide, they suffocate themselves in fear.
But when the wolves are thirsty, the herd serve them up their blood and tears.

But I'm not sipping from that cup.
We’re caught out in the landslide.

Hungry eyes surround me, they're starving.
They feed on your insides. No warning, it's happening.
Feeding lies; they deceive from the tree.
The fruit's been cast aside. They're planting seeds in your mind.

The paradise they promised you has withered away.
The borders that set us back get stronger every day.

And if they lead our humanity astray, then I hope that I don't have to live long enough to see their masochistic ways.
Lock me up and throw away the key.
Pack my bags I'm ready to leave.

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hungry Eyes”

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
