Cursive - Devourer
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
Lyrics
The one percent live in high rises They block out the sun for all the denizens Under the rainbow
They write the laws on guns and gods And push 'em upon the hard folk down below Under the rainbow
Reading my palm, reading my charts Reading my leaves, reading my tarot cards They all know where I'm from Under the rainbow
No prayer, no plan, no promised land
Wish I had time, wish I had hope Wish I had mine, wish I could cope with this We've been left all alone Under the rainbow
You've got your dreams that won't take hold Boy, I shook myself awake so long ago Under the rainbow
We've been fed lies, we've all been duped And we don't want to know the truth This bubble suits us just fine Under the rainbow
Checking the news, checking the stocks Checking for clues, checking the doomsday clock Who's checking in on us? Under the rainbow
No god, no gold, nowhere to go

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.
