watch as the reason tends to fade
do we really need to act this way,
on the outside in utter confusion?
take a look while you're throwing shade
without something creative to say
as a marker of disillusion
do you know what you want for anybody else but yourself?
do you feel alive while your heart is ticking time?
'cause i could give you everything,
but then you'd never learn a thing
are you hearing me?
are you still even listening?
stop as the cycle tends to stay in constant disarray
on the surface we offer seclusion
cross into every other lane
as the lines always tend to stray
for all of your amusement

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
