about

Delivered by a genre-bending songwriter, "Masquerade" embraces everything from Nick Cave's greasy, visceral poetics to anarcho punk's angular compositions. There's even a tinge of early Pink Floyd psychedelia, laced with balkan guitar, sax, violin, unisons and the lingering overtones of futuristic doom. As poet/journalist Noah C. Lekas offers, "'Mirrors' is the sound of David Byrne scoring Quentin Tarantino's long anticipated sci-fi movie."

lyrics

Reason Swallowed cut in half
Split the atom wear the mask
Dark incisions clouded trope
Bell it splinters sound it chokes
Future words tied in tongues
Truant eyes vacant lungs

Calloused taste thirst it tempts
Blessed amnesia lets forget
Omnipresence all we see
Eyes behold and make believe
Symbol static flashing light
Dervish maze where we hide

And they can't connect so they sever their hearts
Namesake prisoner how they wear their mark
See them run see them play
Force their nature shackled and caged

Freedom rings oh our freedom rings
Freedom rings on wishful streets
Where the blood of yesterday is yet to dry
Subverting writhing without announcement
The crowds begin to arrive
Apparitions of another march masquerade
Winged breath staggering on horizon
Formed of fire formed adrenal
No longer a frail utterance of cinder
It is here
Hear now
Here
