It’s not a job it’s a service
And i get paid in satisfaction
It’s not desire it’s purpose
Feeding off the chain reaction
I take your calls in the bathroom
So that no one can hear
And wash your blood down the sink
Cause we don’t keep souvenirs
Don’t say you can take it
Don’t think i won’t break it
Don’t try to hide your shaking
Don’t you know i know you’re faking
Here it goes
Aspiration holds
Obturate, unfold
Inclination codes
Here it goes
Don’t look so scared
(This is a gift)
Don’t look so bereft
(That’s what you said)
Here it goes
Watching, waiting in that fashion
There’s no place here for compassion
Aching for that interaction
Negative space, neutral passion
How could you know this would happen
Blood for blood in the transaction
Predilection for abstraction
Blood blood blood blood blood extraction
Bought tickets for the attraction
Tallying up your infractions
Drip a drop here it’s your ration
Expiration, final caption
This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan

Sharptooth fight bigotry with melodic hardcore, their breakdowns an ideal vehicle for singer Lauren Kashan's incendiary insights. Bandcamp... New & Notable Jul 15, 2020
