lyrics

I think I did it again
Cut a little too deep
But let’s run it out
And see how long we sleep

I think I did it again
Swallowed one too many
But let’s wash it down
And see if things get heavy

Another card from the deck
Another voice on the line
Another picture in my head
Another light behind my eyes

Keep going

Another die is cast
Another dream is sold
Another moment’s passed
Another hand to hold
Another twilight fades
Another loss is felt
Another empty wave
Another cry for help

Keep going - you wanted this

Hooked on the rising sun
Broken beneath its light
Left to repeat your fallacies
Safe in controlled activities

Dirt underneath your nails
Clawing against the sight
Forwards but always stumbling
Caring but somehow smothering

Left to your own devices
Infernal within their loops
Programmed and then neglected
Discarded and resurrected

Working to break the patterns
With only your strength of will
Missing the coping mechanisms
In all of their ravenous pragmatism

A grand house of cards around you
Divining against the storm
But I think the forecast’s troubling
Another crown comes tumbling

Tell me what you want
What you want to say
No time for empty words now
No time to play the game
Don’t burnish your true reflection
Don’t hide how you see yourself
Let’s come to an understanding
Of flesh and blood and nothing else
Collecting around your image
The details all painted black
Keep closing your eyes to it
But it keeps coming back
The fractures of realisation
Embedded within yourself
Still cutting into the body
Of flesh and blood and nothing else

Rupt and Flex (1994 - 96)
by Seefeel

supported by 4 fans who also own “Resurrection Man”

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson

I used to say my favourite band was Future of the Left. Now I just say I am a good Christian man. A fit one, at that colin-the-very-pretty-pussy
