the thermodynamics of life
traces the heat in your heart
with a quantum arrow
plastered plastic data on the screen
a life for the laser cut kids in flux with machine
a fresh batch of black bodies cutting out their dreams
from a magazine
we're trying to synthesize gold in a back alley
in a burdened reality
through "crack wars" and other strange alchemy
i know they lied
(told me it would come true) if i cut it out
did i lie?
when i told them to cut it out?
what i know, my final hypothesis
free the soul of the body apocalyse

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
everything about this compilation is fantastic: funds go to a good cause, a good primer on bands that are openly anti-racism ans great tracks. 10/10 Sterling
