lyrics

* any thing can be made with your own thoughts
with your own hands
with a face and name, using the business end
* for when you have to jump
without being brave enough
starting from where you’re at
knowing where you’re at
* there’s plenty of disappointment and no way to keep it
I was the one you poured in to
I’m more an ambulance and not a doctor
* we’ll go on to other places, hold it loose
sewing us together, folded over, feeding the machine.

That's some kind of life you got.
It grows the more it takes.

* covered in a frail confidence
painting our skin with the thoughts within
If it's sad or if it's scary
We are each others
* we are hope, you are
even if the voices carry
still making it like they used to
alive inside the stones
* throw us anywhere
but don’t stay face down
or think the words that keep you there
backbone breaker, life and time taker
* how many days have you been loved
in what ways, outside of yourself
always beside you.
the way your soul is attached
* riveted in to place, overlapped
the best days of our lives are the ones we’re alive
making our attempt at existing
* so more work can be done
covering each other over
painting ourselves in our canvas
take care, take chances.

That's some kind of life you got.
It grows the more it takes.

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 32 fans who also own “Pent Up Genes”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
