you already know how to lower yourself you know that there is a science to every story that's told trying to find the sense in ordinary events a chasm is formed when you open the door try to plug all the holes it's a life of mirth

Space Death 03:57
i saw the angel of death in a dream within dreams where i was flying in a space craft he said that i'm okay i should be scared he's rooting for the young man nothing matters i'll sleep in now nothing matter lie awake now i'm your only son now take me with you through time

Harsh Realm 06:18
nowhere you go will be as clear nowhere you go will disappear nothing is permanent nothing is pure

Human Finger 03:25
a tempest burns and claims to be a chaperone encephalic a tempest burns reality is not as bad as storms may see what is it the piercing hum or silence what is it the urge to vitalize what is it the urge to interact with everyone you meet but still attack a tempest burns and blames to me you’re on your own and words alone can’t form the mess it’s for the best you’re stumbling and grappling what is it the teething self defiance what about the cadence that you found you speak inside a circle but your throat ran aground I wonder why/how you cannot make a sound

Quaaludes 03:29
you'll understand the place you're in when you've grown tired of it and come to live in unison with everyone else spaces can be beautiful if they reflect yourself your exit is unlikely if you're simply content you'll long for youth and innocence pretend you're on tv and spend some time with medicine like everyone else and everyone else is beside themselves you're only impressed with reflections your circle imposed the thread that you hold so tight its origins hollow just look down the coast the scenery has changed and yet inert imbued with flow you won't forget

etched in our blood bile verses you can be seventh son in rehearsal you can be last one to laugh at horrors spoil the end for us does it matter ? if you stay with me i'm not the who will lose my head etched in our blood automatic you can be right one too still just static this is appalling truth does it matter spoil the end for us what's the matter?

Swims 04:22
time and distance can take life from me out of reach and so undeniably gone can you wait for a shadow to settle here chase the sun, fall asleep in the window time and distance can make love to me why do you whisper at once just imagining

about

"Milwaukee needs a band that sounds like this...Nobody in the city's scene is occupying quite this niche, and the murky, moody take on these sounds that Absolutely offer on their new, long-delayed sophomore album Cannot Find is distinctive enough that they can't be dismissed as simple Unwound revivalists. A disquieting chill shadows the album, a trail of empty space that can't be filled, no matter how loud the guitars get. The Cure's early post-punk albums used to cast a similar vacant chill, and while Seventeen Seconds and Faith probably weren't direct influences on Cannot Find, the effect of all those albums is the same: They're all intriguingly unfulfilling, records that pique our interest by leaving us slightly unsatisfied. Little of Cannot Find shouts out to me the way Learns to Love Mistakes did, but I find myself returning to it nonetheless to explore its under-lit corners, to dig for secrets that may not even be there. I don't love it, but I deeply want to understand it, which is more than I can say for most records." Shepherd Express, 2014
