lyrics

My luggage is listless from bearing witness to going out of business
It's aimed like a raygun so casual and careless
burning like a cheap cigar, they're shouting "last call" at the bar

Unplug the landlines, I'm scrying for the decline
and sharpening our knives
We'll sever the sinews of this old life and

Sing this science into the street
Parade the pitfalls of our disbelief
In spite of these attempts to stifle the sound
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down
I can't

Cast down a shadow to cremate the hedgerow
The bustle of this town will hum its own elegy even as it drowns

I'm out for the last time, sniffing for landmines
and calling the bluff on these telltale signs
We'll trot out the naysayers' flawed designs and

Sing this science into the street
Parade the pitfalls of our disbelief
In spite of these attempts to stifle the sound
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down

Without a care in the world, you are absolutely sure
You doubt that there's a loss you can't afford to take
To stick it out and not move away
You've had enough of this fleeting toughness
Too soft to sell yourself on what to think
Would be impossible for us to bring
to bare our teeth and grit through this grief yet
or so-to-speak it

Or so to sing this science into the street
Parade the pitfalls of our disbelief
In spite of these attempts to stifle the sound
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down
Could you keep it down, I can't hold it down
I can't

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
