Cursive - Devourer
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
Lyrics
I am a parasite I am a shill I am that lowly snake Chasing its tail
In the beginning, we were starving under stars The stars told the farmers when to farm Farms evolved into corporations Corporations left us all to starve And in the end, we'll start again Apocalypse will level every monopoly and monolith
Ouroboros Ouroboros
We were blessed with an enlightened intellect Enlightened intellect made the internet The internet gave the world a mouthpiece That swallowed our enlightened intellect The voice of man has been exposed As vitriol, don't gotta read between the HTML
Ouroboros Ouroboros Wow!
Ouroboros
The writer will obsess over success Success is like the carrot on a stick Once the writer finds it's just a carrot The writer takes a shit all over it 'Cause in the end, the masterpiece Won't be achieved Who the fuck is achieving mastery?
Ouroboros Ouroboros
Society has got a heinous case of crabs Everybody's got an itch to scratch This man-made bucket we're all stuck in We're all fucking over each other's cousin So, serve it up, surf an' turf It could be worse You could be eating your words or your own foot
Ouroboros Ouroboros Wow!
Ouroboros
I am a parasite I am a shill I am a cannibal Eating my words
I am a parasite I am a shill I am that lowly snake Chasing its tail I am a parasite I am a shill I am that lowly snake Chasing its tail
Ouroboros Ouroboros

From Dork
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.
Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.
‘Vitriola’ bubbles and boils with anger and simmers with regret and futility.
