(to the wolves
I have known and loved)
Looking back through the eyes of now
to our hallowed stomping ground
Don’t you wish you could set it in stone?
Don’t you just want to leave it alone?
I was a fool to think it would never end / never end
Cause I was there but I wasn’t
(the absolution, it’s helping no one)
And we all knew but we didn’t
(to keep the peace or keep the pieces?)
Surely there was something else to be
between wolves and sheep
predator and prey
Our world wasn’t supposed to work that fucking way
and now what can I say?
I was standing right there somewhere
looking off some other way
Laughing with the rest,
no one saying “Help”
So who’s to absolve us now
for questions we failed ask so close to home
when its one of our own?
It’s so easy now to play the hero
to see the signs, to kill the vibe
and cut you loose to do your time
…too little and too fucking late.

Blue Dot is getting paler
Blue Dot is blinking out
“horrors beyond comprehension”
If this ain’t that then I don’t know
Echoes of a dead star
How’d it make it this far?
Blaming all the scapegoats
Praying to its own excuses
Deluded beyond failure
all the answers in their hands,
they chose convenience and collapse
- is that a tragedy or just a bad joke falling flat?
And all they had to do was look up
And all they had to do was give a fuck
The void will forget the dust
(if it ever noticed us)
the last gasp lost on made up gods
They went down
in a haze of deluded lies
asphyxiation monetized
Hoping against hope against
the tyranny of cause and effect.
Sleepwalking through extinction
Anything but to lay in the bed they made
I don’t know whether to laugh or fucking die.
“You’re Preaching to the mirror,” said the dust / said the dust
“…I’ve never been so ready to be nothing at last” / nothing at last

Shit hits fan and here I am
I know the drill like the back of my hand
Next refresh is gonna be the one,
the word that it was all a dream
Every ugly thing we kicked down the road
found its way back home
Stuck like rats in a million darkened rooms,
mainlining doom
In the throes, in a thrall
by the dying light of the endless scroll
Not with a whimper
and not with a bang
No world out there worth living in
Just bad thoughts doing circles
and patience wearing thin.
It took a plague
Now we see what we’re made of
in a billion lonely rooms
Algorithmic death
Infinite refresh
Cheap illusions will get you
everywhere but out of here.

Fuck all the cities
and fuck all the pigs
one knee on any neck
That disagrees
Understand
we're fighting a war
they can't win
They hate us
we hate them.
They can't win - no way
Fearless mothers
Opinionated sons
Targets for cowards
Hiding faces behind guns (fuck you)
Understand
We're fighting a war
They can't win
They hate us
We hate them
They can’t win
500 years and
It doesn’t change
The boss’s guard dogs
still on the take
Understand
We're fighting a war
They can't win
They hate us
We hate them
They can't win, no way
Stand with people
or stand with pigs
Stand with bigots
And you’re dead to me
Understand
We're fighting a war
They can't win
They hate us
We hate them
They can't win
No justice,
No fucking peace.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

it was time to get this one, Gism has been one of my favorite bands, deeply sad the departure of Sakeví. Gism always in my Heart.

Planet Fatigue
by Carradine Choke
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed.
go to album
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
