your words are weapons
they cut to the bone
you said I was a waste of air
well how does it taste
to eat the dirt turned up by rotten words?
you said I’m not trustworthy
how does it feel?
the words you have spoken
you took them back,
swore you've changed
now look where we are
I'm still strong
I'm still alive
and you're there begging on your knees
saying take me back
please
it was just out of rage
you didn't mean to tell me to hurt myself
you were just disappointed
I tried to help you but you said you've changed.
that’s just what you say
seasons change but people don't
and you're looking at me like the very first time
I'm still strong
I'm still alive
and you're there begging on your knees
saying take me back
please
I'm still strong
I'm still alive
and you're begging on your knees
take me back
please
I'm still strong
I'm still alive
and you're begging on your knees
take me back
please

This excellent EP swings from lurching post-hardcore to shadowy dark rock, anchored by a shattering vocal performance. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2018
The last blast from New Orleans punks Mystic Inane is this all-too-brief EP; their no-wave-influenced sound is both taut and playful. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
