lyrics

If you could keep up, why can't you catch up?
If you could speak up, why did you shut up? Shut up!
If you can't have fun, what fun can you have?
If you can't let go, how can you relax?

Got a fine sense of present tense
We shake an angry vibrato
Signed, sealed, send the delivery
Certified, open wide, a broadside salvo to swallow
Be my, be my accessory

Clenching, his knuckles crack, cocking an elbow back
I'm plotting my next attack

I've decided I'm not gonna fight it
For opponents so opposed to restraint
In a mindset decidedly violent
If I'm conscious I'll remain, remain

Empty threats, epithets, demarcate brazen marauders
Sabres rattle, scabbards shake silently
Teeth bared, fangs drip, this venom runs in the hollow
Perforate, punchcard the eulogy

Wounded and limping bad
Cauterize and counteract
I'm launching my next attack

I've decided I'm not gonna fight it
For opponents so opposed to restraint
In a mindset decidedly violent
For responses we'll refrain to refrain

If you could keep up, why can't you catch up?
If you could speak up, why did you shut up? Shut up!
If you can't have fun, what fun can you have?
If you can't let go, how can you relax?

I've decided I'm not gonna fight it
For opponents so opposed to restraint
In a mindset decidedly violent
If I'm conscious I'll remain, remain
I've decided I'm dying to fight it
For opponents so opposed to restraint
In a mindset decidedly violent
If I'm conscious I'll remain, remain

about

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
