The flag’s always at half-mast now, I don’t know why / It’s getting harder to keep track, it’s happening all the time / I’m watching the news at night like: How are we letting this slide? / Refreshing the page over and over again, I think I’m gonna lose my mind / I gotta keep my head about myself / I gotta keep my head about myself / I gotta keep my head / Cuz acting like an asshole’s not gonna make anything better / I know this one thing / Acting like an asshole’s not gonna make anything better / Blood in the street on the rise / The chief of police is lying about that murder, I saw it on Facebook Live / Watching in real time, feeling barely alive / Refreshing the page over and over again, I think I’m gonna lose my mind / I gotta keep my head about myself / I gotta keep my head about myself / I gotta keep my head / Cuz acting like an asshole’s not gonna make anything better / I know this one thing / Acting like an asshole’s not gonna make anything better / The flag’s always at half-mast now, I don’t know why / It’s getting harder to keep track, it’s happening all the time / It’s happening all the time / It’s happening all the time / It’s happening all the time / It’s happening all the time /

Hectorina dissolves the alt-rock genre in a solvent of catchy riffs and lyrical genius. The energy of this album ebbs and flows, mirroring the dynamic, beautiful, and frustrating nature of our relationships. Much love from a fellow Charlottean! HailSatanDrinkCoffee
