violent thoughts wrestle with a giant loss
a spoiling frost spreads like fire when people talk
a child’s home torn down by a ringing phone
a fever with no course to run
no stars aligned, no fire from the sky
can shine a light on words that reconcile
no heart of stone will wilt under a precious poem
nothing said makes sense of what is wrong
a speech is made, a child, a grave
a flower laid, a final wave
the gesture lost: in movement overcome
=
left with naught, but finding comfort in the thought
that broken hearts are impervious to flying darts
all is known, less love laid bare to its bones:
a force no strength of will can overcome.
the misery of doubt and blame
twists happiness all-up with shame
can beating hearts undo what has been done?
=
deliver scorn on golden tongue

The album is very good overall, hate to pick just one song, could easily have gone with Float The Flood or Jolt The Amplifier. For the uninitiated, their music seems influenced by Sleater/Kinney and Throwing Muses. Having seen them live recently, got a glimpse of some new material, definitely looking forward to more from them in the years to come :) pepc72
