lyrics

Let’s try and work things out, try not to ignore the pain
which makes us human beings, which makes us all the same
they’ll try to turn us down, they want us to shut up
but when they tried to turn us against ourselves, turns out they weren’t strong enough

To understand - what they can’t kill
Our common sense - our uncommon will

We just wanted to fall in love, they just want us to fall in line,
we’ll stumble over their ego trips and fall for it every time
so let’s try and work things out, learn to endure the pain
which made us human beings, which made us all the same

To fall in love - to fall in line
We fall for this – bullshit - each and every goddamn time
To understand – (to understand) - what they can’t kill
Our common sense - our uncommon will

For The Time Being
by Unharrowed

This short but sweet instrumetal EP by my fellow solo traveler is full of classic metallic riffing and colorful harmonies, reminding me of rad bands like Capricorns and Hammers of Misfortune. illuminihilation
