lyrics

I feel it coming - that pounding in my head.
It’s like a needle - sew me up instead
What would you do if I threw everything at you?
Would you cry? Would I let you down like I used to?
You know the mirror never lies
Didn’t see them coming in the rear-view - not like I’d expect you to
So grab the wheel and spin
I’m barreling towards a head-on collision
So please just put me down
I won’t relate to a single thing you say
I’ll wring myself out - left a stain on a perfect day
Step back, call off the cavalry
Nobody’s leaving, nobody’s leaving
Shut down, it’s not like me
We’re all bleeding, I’m still bleeding
I’d be better off thinking like you
I’d be better off thinking like anyone else
Shoving fingers down my throat, only 15 years old
Who could have known fluorescent lights could be so cold

BORN TO DIE
by Blind Equation

supported by 34 fans who also own “Paradigm X”

BORN TO DIE knows the exact moment to snap back from blistering, discordant insanity into melodic, chippy runs. There's much to praise packed into this short EP, but it's the pacing that impresses me most every time. The vocals are harsh but it's somehow very easy to understand the lyrics, which make me hope James is okay, just sayin. Anyway, yeah, dig this hard! Unicorn Hole
