captive, no enjoyment
only empathy, no empty things from me
but i'm pinned down by thoughts of quilted metal
can you recall the moment that you lost control
wayward, but i know you
and entropy is all we ever
dreaded, a destroyer
but we don’t know what that really means, do we
i’m pinned down by thoughts of quilted metal
can you recall the moment that you lost control
static, no enjoyment
but empathy encompasses
you now, don’t be despondent
cuz entropy don’t mean a thing to me
i’ll help you don your face
it’s easier this way
i'm just as scared as you
to let my teeth be gray
i'll take any excuse to hide away
forfeit every other day with no replay
get out of bed i said
i won't say it again
i need another head to share this weight
there’s no brakes
there’s no grace
there’s no grace
i'll help you don your face
i'll get mine after this
i'm just as scared of you
as every living thing
i step into the red self conscious
shaking off the dread to “get innocuous!”
this feels like a dream
my legs refuse to move and i strain to breathe
yeah it feels like a dream
everything exactly as it seems
everything is exactly as it seems
i dare my future self to be ashamed of me
(i dare my self to be of me)
i dare my future self to try to press delete
(my self to be ending)

Continental Shelf Brooklyn, New York
Steady and unsteady hand, the living unintelligible dream. Music by Rob and Nick.
Continental Shelf recommends:
Much like the act of gazing at clouds, this album leaves room for your subconscious to fill in the blanks. It's as breezy or as hypnotic as you allow it to be.

A Bunch of Smaller Parts
by Bot Garden
Nick and Rob contribute bass and drums respectively to Bot Garden, although this great EP was created before Rob's time in the band. Still not tired of it even after learning all the (smaller) parts.

Silver Ladders
by Mary Lattimore
Listening to this record feels like falling through the fullness of space toward unspeakable, existential truth. That's that.

Community / GBY
by Running Joke
A pair of gutsy indie rock songs from Adelaide outfit running joke that are as hooky as they are bone-brittle.
