Sink to the Beat Lyrics

    I'll try to make this perfectly clear
    I'm so transparent I disapear
    these words I lyrically defecate
    upon songs I boldly claim to create

    clint steps in to establish the beat
    4/4 hip hop and you don't stop
    this unique approach to start an EP
    intended to shock, create a mystique
    a cheap strategy, a marketing scheme
    building awareness for the next LP
    they've got a good fan base
    they've got integrity
    they've got a DC sound
    Shudder to Think, Fugazi
    and Chapel Hill Around The Early 90's
    this is the latest from saddle creek

    some melodies are like disease
    they can inflame your misery
    they will infect your memories
    they haunt me
    some memories are like disease
    they can inflame your misery
    they will infect your melody
    they haunt me

    I write these words with my motherly intuition
    I shape these sounds into harmonic aparitions
    but I can see can see through these haunting things
    my moldy dreams are debased by the same hands that shaped them

    I'll try to make this perfectly clear
    I'm so reflexive i am a mirror
    these words I'm driving into the ground
    the same words I scream out over the crowd

    I'm just an airwave rolling around
    I storm and crash without a sound
    There's all these islands out at sea
    I can't reach

    I'm just an airplane diving down
    I storm and crash without a sound
    engines exploding silently out at sea

    where waves caress unstable egos
    where melody is completely swallowed
    where songwriters chain their songs
    to their ankles and
    sink to the beat
    'til it stops and
    bursts under pressure

    let it
    burst and bloom
    hit song
    let it burst and bloom

    (I'll try to make this perfectly clear
    I'm so reflexive i am a mirror
    these words I'm driving into the ground
    the same words I scream out over the crowd)
