Face down
You've got another one
Safe
Secured
En garde
You've got your armor on
To brace for words
An uphill battle that will
Leave us empty-handed
Still we roll the dice
And take our empty chances
Wheel spin
You drop the ball
Call your number and shade
Marring marble's
Got the weight
Invalidate all your plays
The deck is stacked
Your sleeves are checked
With steel precision
The world's controlled by
Paper slips
They used your chips
to print them
Can the dealer be played?
Try your best
But rank suggests that
Every rule can be changed
No room to run away
Game tables
Are chained
To your legs
And hands
Are always seen
All their things
Are made from your dreams
Legs and hands
Are always seen
All their things
Are made from your dreams

From L.A. comes the latest from post-rock outfit bondo, with tendrils of spindly guitar snaking through arid percussion. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2023
