Can never seem to get it right
Everywhere there's trash strewn around
Did I really just pass that fight?
Half the time I need to lie down
A sight
Unseen
We never would have thought
A light
Unclean
Thick skin becomes so taught
Can never feel too polite
Every stare drives home the town
Did I really just think they'd bite?
Half the time I need to lie down
I'm a bee
In clover
And I need triage
I can't be
Any help
They need triage
All the things
I've left out
They need triage
There's no way
Until you're here
They need triage
TRIAGE

Against Nature

I don’t have a doubt
The world is not a stage anymore
We got the runaround
The TV blares, it’s bought with a loan
You try
To be
Against
Nature
Just as you’ve been told
They don’t hear the shouts
Unless it can be sold in a store
A file in a mound
The power's off but you’re not alone
And relax, it’s a common mistake
No need to grieve or try that hard
Relax, it’s a common mistake
Until it’s not
And it’s not!
I don’t have a doubt
The world is not a stage anymore
It’s staged

More of Us

The years zip by
And I'll wonder why
How would they even know if we were gone?
Exploded scenes
Those forbidden dreams
But someone must remember or why else try?
I have to trust that there's more of us
It's in your eyes
And I'll wonder why
How do we work to see those lines drawn?
Forgotten teens
What old friends demean
But someone must remember or why else try?
More of us

Lost
Your
Vision!
The less that they care the more I do
I was under an impression
That we were meant to be loud
In the wake of your digression
I amplify every sound

Had to Look
03:07

|

|
I'll drift awhile
In a stream of those prized awards
We could swim a mile
Through a lake of the years we've adored
But I had to look away
I'm resting on each laurel
Shoulda, coulda, woulda been
Wilted with all we know
Losing track of where and when
How far do you think it is to the shore?
Untied from this dock so that I don't slip
Believe me it's been such a lovely time
But I'll start to sink if we repeat it
I had to look away

about
Now available in cassette and digital formats courtesy of Disposable America Records -
disposableamerica.bandcamp.com/album/against-nature
"Both pitched and presented as their most personal work to-date, the new EP from Portland’s Lubec is a lashing-out against the system, five distinct songs that reflect their own thoughts on many of societies ills. Tense, direct, and full of pent-up energy, the new EP also offers perhaps their most invigorating work to-date, teeming with personality and a grittiness that feels resoundingly cathartic.
Released this week via the ever-dependable Disposable America label - Against Nature bristles with angst throughout, the band’s breezier moments always met with a fiery energy that dominates the overall mood, stoking an atmosphere that barely lets up.
The band are quoted as saying they “believe that there’s a middle ground between the serene and erratic” and that vision has never been more rewardingly brought-to-life than it is here. For all of the anxiety that needles away throughout, the songs themselves feel somewhat jubilant, buoyed by a desire the various messages to be felt as much as heard.
From the choppy brilliance of its opening track ‘Triage’, to the sprightly ‘Comfort Zone’ and the more melodic closer, ‘Had To Look’, the EP is both an emphatic reminder of the trio’s guile, and a stand-alone statement in its own right."
