about

Recorded at Jon Nuñez's House (Casa de Caca) in 2009.
Mastered by Nick and Rob at New Alliance East.

lyrics

Give a man enough rope and the crows will eat another day. Give a god enough rope and the world will dangle, cold as clay. I spurn the master’s hand. Virtue bears no reward. I live by your book; I’ll die by your sword. Horizons shrinking, moments passing, squandered opportunity. Throttled prospects lying at the feet of what has come to be. A lesson never learned. Foundation overturned. You wonder how it happened, where we went astray. Full-size mirrors staring back on fences walked, on shades of grey. Serenity congealed. The plan left unrevealed. Gouging in, inch by inch, severing the optic nerve. Blinding the forces I was engineered to serve. Taking back my peace of mind, exposing every lie. With trembling hands, I’m carving out the all-seeing eye.
