Who am I
do I deserve to boil alive
and is that why
I signed my shell up to this
wretched life
some days in acts I sense no metaphor
when shades of shame they cast no light
cause what's once driven
for status, for connection
a shrivelled ego
some beat up pride
Who am I
am I supposed to pinch for likes
catch up with social I don't
dare to try
claw disposition such a two-edged knife
some days in acts I sense no metaphor
when shades of shame they cast no light
and in hot water
boiling blobs burst dissaproval
leaving no flicker
no silver line

Long-running Chicago group Courtesy err on the weirder side of indie rock with minimalist yet wonky compositions rife with anxious humor. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 28, 2021
An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023
A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great! Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 6, 2022
