lyrics

Deep beneath the Great Lakes in the icy, toxic blue
With eyes as big as dinner plates that are fixed on you
To size you up for service, you’ll be taken soon
By oaken tendrils and by streets that turn to sand

And you’ll go willingly, you’ll go quietly
Into a life of ease

Leviathan holds my heart fast
Harpoon in hand, I twist in your grasp

Into the light I am drawn like a fly

Bioluminescent at a bathyscaphic depth
She radiates a beacon to the ones still left
To summon from the surface, how she lures and contrives
To draw us all to her, her gravity ensures

That you’ll go willingly, you’ll go quietly
Into a life of ease

Leviathan holds my heart fast
Harpoon in hand, I twist in your grasp

Into the dark we will say our goodbyes

At the gate, stepping off
Wisps of fate and jet exhaust
We debate getting soft
And taking off

In a haze of contrails
Will we deign to set sail
In a glacial riptide
Will we spread our arms wide
Cross a thundering sea
On a southern breeze we're taking off

Would I go willingly?
Would I go quietly?
Into a life of ease, her loving arms around me
Sing me off to sleep

Alright Already Halifax, Nova Scotia

Literary, angular 12-string electric anthems which seek to agitate rather than soothe. Midwest emo guitar and pop-punk rhythm, too complicated for punk but too simple for prog. Dylan Mombourquette and AJ Boutilier provide the critical backbone for Sean MacGillivray's rhythmic compositions. "Essays for Anthems" arrives September 1st 2023 and features guest vocalists from across the spectrum. ... more
