Cursive - Devourer
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
Lyrics
Strung out on leaving One leg stretched for the curb The other one grounds itself against rebirth So the swallows will stay in the barn The finches left a long time ago The fall must be oh so close
I cannot exist in this circumference I keep a crippled leg on home base
Where I hang my crutches I'm so weak and needy My knees are so weak Crutches keep me from kneeling I need something I can fall back on Something to relate to Something to rotate to, now
Nothing's so far away And nothing so good can ever stay Now, could it? And I know that the stars all have names Some of them just aren't as good as others Some of them are just letters and numbers
Sometimes I forget That the smallest things can be oh so big
Where'd you hang my crutches? I'm so weak I'm bleeding I bleed every week Crutches keep me from kneeling And there's nothing here to fall back on Nothing to relate to Nothing to replace you
Now, nothing seems so far down Down, I'll shove my foot Deeper into the ground

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.
