Party crashers
Raised up crosses
While we forgot to keep the feast
It felt like an epiphany
Of our true allegiances
To say the least
I just know that
We've been here before
Burning incense
To a strongman
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign
Of contradiction
Men without chests
Mourned no losses
When they lit up New York City pink
We don't hesitate to say
They love the least of these
What a nice thing to think
I just know that
We've been here before
Offering tribute with our own children
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign
Of contradiction
There's no bloodless membership
It's just a question of whose blood it is
We gather our strength against
Whatever victim seems expedient
You should know cos
You've been here before
Being opposed from all directions
And we just don't know when to stop
Crucifying what
Contradicts us
We just don't know when to stop
Without a sign that can
Contradict us
I just know that we've been here before
I cannot get around the fact
Your holy innocence is the only last
Contradiction
That speaks against
And saves us
In the end
Please give us a sign
And contradict us
Cos I know we've been here before
I know we've been here before
And we just don't know when to stop
Without a sign of
Contradiction
a truly enjoyable listen my friend...a little bit emo, a little bit alt rock, a little bit power pop...and a whole lot of plain old catchy tunes...and best of all these songs offer hope of the life to come...the life given for those who trust and believe on Jesus...no kidding man... Jack E. Hearn
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
