I’m pushing for results just like a rat upon a button
A square remains in place with a meaning of nothing
Stick to looking busy just to make a fucking point
Roll along with a barrel until I buckle at every joint
I would prefer not to
I’d prefer to sit and think
Sit and rest, sit with less, stare into space without a blink
Does it make you itch? Prickle your skin?
To see another person doing nothing
~
Navigate a way through the void
Find a way to partake in joy
Economise attention better spent
Navigate a way to circumvent
~
I’d appreciate an answer
You see me giving, giving
A momentary judgement is no way to make a living
This sensory overload accumulates
To absolutely nothing
I require more than what you are offering
A stab in the dark is equatable to suffering
It should come as no surprise to anyone with eyes
That I have always been bluffing
~
Navigate a way through the void
Find a way to partake in joy
Economise attention better spent
Navigate a way to circumvent

As a Brooklyn-based admirer of your work, who never got to see you live, this album's existence is truly amazing. A fitting, booming document of your send-off. One of the very best bands to emerge in the 2010's. You should be VERY proud of the Doe legacy. Gone too soon but with two stellar full-lengths and a solid compilation, you made sure you left your mark. Bonus points are earned here for making me realize the hidden beauty in "2 Become 1." You completely reinvented it in the best way! Allan Raible
