lyrics

Wander through the annals of humdrumery
Every pattern will be clear, abundantly
The mode of conversation won’t take many different forms
I don’t have to ask, I know, but you can show me

How to lock my jaw
And sing for my salvation
I lock my jaw
And wonder why I’m twisting teeth

This is exactly why I’m here and that’s clear to me
The private likeness and public shame of hereditary, inward blame
Oh save me, please save me
The light is further in or out and no one is gonna’ show me

So I lock my jaw
And sing for my salvation
I lock my jaw
And wonder why I’m twisting teeth

I can see why you do what others do
You model outward and power through
No one likes the feeling of when good company departs
Lock the door and turn to face the stereo, still playing loud
And yes you have to turn it off

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 11 fans who also own “Private Likeness”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
