lyrics

seize control
seize control
but I can't, not here, not now
seize control

I knew a man, he was a friend of mine
until the sickness got him, too
he bought a room atop the Tower of London
just to improve his view

he said, help us help ourselves through
help me help you
and when we've helped the very last straggler
we'll start round two

he's a parasite born of slime, just like me
it's their contagion that makes them celebrities
celebrating their disease
seize control

their god's got a tail, it leaves a telltale trail
of sacrament, watch out behind their monuments
you might step in it
I knew a man who tried to take that shortcut home
but it swallowed him whole

here we are, we're the children of discharge
here we are
here we are, we're the children of the stars
of the stars

by the light of the moon, they feed
in the frenzy we call them celebrities
celebrating their disease
seize control

my limbs were fins before I crawled ashore
before the sea recedes to distant memory
before the awkward lines a child writes
before all this became the life that I would lead
my only wish: to be a fish

seize control

about

Bion Boston, Massachusetts

Stripped-down progressive rock that's heavy. Weird enough to keep us interested for at least 45 minutes. Best enjoyed live... or at least alive.
