about

"Feeling afraid of time ticking onward." We're only gettin' older, and we're watching the world seemingly go to shit right in front of our eyes. Well, Chewy's angry too, so we wrote this thrash-inspired jam addressing our chronologically-induced anxiety.

We're particularly super proud of the back half of this song, with the whiplash choral jazz fusion breakdown (featuring the angelic voice of special guest Nathalie Baer-Chan) meticulously crafted to confound in a pleasant way. Fun-found? Yeah sure. That works!

Enough doom, gloom, and detachment though. You know shit sucks right now as much as we do. But get your anger out with this tune, be good to the people you love, hell, even the ones you don't. Enjoy your life, help how you can.

Hope you dig, much love from Chewy.

lyrics

there's plenty of ways to say
"feeling afraid of time ticking onward"
but words never did a thing to change
some kind of foreign thought
though it's no trouble to see where it dawned from
leaving me to the teeth of days

searching for leads to climb
warping my mind to impossible sequence
seems like a futile way to waste
incessantly fixed on a finding
some kind of new way of grinding
all the gears
on all our clocks
backwards

occupying all my nerves
learning to pray and sing to the swan song
still subservient to today
incessantly fixed on a finding
some kind of new way of grinding
all the gears
on all our clocks
back
wards

if we could just
reverse it
if we could leave
the now
we could tell
ourselves
"we're fine"

backwards
