paving the road that you keep me on
but does it better me?
what's more to learn to make this right?
transfixed with awe, I see the light
yet far beyond my grasp
one corner turned, what's in my sight?
so chance will make this obvious
hold back you'll make it okay
was it taking you?
oh man you're trading me up
what makes you so drastic?
so when you've taken all these words
what's taken you back?
stop me tonight
for taking it to make you
walk with me tonight
stay over, take over your life
and I'll thank you not to make this just another night
paving the road that you keep me on
ten years to show what's left behind
wanted to know will you take me back home
but did you listen?
one chance you'll make me whole
but did you listen?
what makes you whole?
what can make you listen
I wasn't taking it
hold the brake with me tonight
say you won't break this
one chance to make it okay
one day you'll make me whole
I'll make you listen, stop me
only to take you home
and you know what makes me whole

... wholeness, not only can't be obtained from outside of ourselves, but we're already home...
... if I fail, then at least I had the opportunity. why did this happen this way, why wasn't this totally successful? it's almost like, if we knew we were gonna live again, and the reason we come back to live again- and we hear this from time to time- it's because life as we know it is a learning experience, so when we come back to life again, it's because there's something that we didn't learn, that we needed to learn so that we could be elevated to another level...
Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2023
