Adjusting perspective, widening of scope / Sun-dried lazy daisy, gin soaked / I’m a seaweed mound on a strip mall, suffocated / Heeding epochs I once cradled rope / Shake myself free, I need to grab hold of some hope / I hover, I hover, I hover, I hover over topsoil / Lift stones till this worry leaves my soul / All is mine if I don’t plan on going home / Mash my bones and sweep em’ up in a dustpan / Sprinkle them over your doorstep / My voice cracks and it’s caught in a loop / The grandstand can’t shout over my gold tooth / Seduced by obnoxious nostalgia and Saturday morning cartoons / Saturday morning cartoons / Saturday morning cartoons / Count my vices, check my coffee intake / Can y’all believe I’m drinking two whole pots everyday? / I got the shakes / Has my body learned nothing? / Nothing! / Press pause on my train of thought / A stack of VHS tapes ain’t all that I’ve lost / Buying rosaries at every single truck stop just in case / Heeding epochs I once cradled rope / Shake myself free, I need to grab hold of some hope / I hover, I hover, I hover, I hover over topsoil /

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
