Amphora 02:32
They’re out there Zoom in and rewind You can see them Alone in your mind I don’t know who you are But you made me You made me You made me To be afraid Lock all the doors Black out the windows Lock out our hearts Black out depressions You don’t who I am But you made me You made me You made me To be afraid Did you need me You need me You need me To be afraid?

Sleepwalk the apocalypse Joyride burn out Solutions seeking problems Focus on the scandal Four horsemen with Four million horsepower Looting comes from the Golden idol tower Sleepwalk the apocalypse Surveil all labor Solutions seeking permanence Jail thy neighbor Four horsemen with Four million horsepower Rain down particulates And lead showers // All authority Exists to defeat // Sleepwalk the apocalypse Joyride burn out Solutions seeking problems Focus on the scandal Four horsemen with Four million horsepower Looting comes from the Golden idol tower Sleepwalk the apocalypse Bodies and control Solutions seeking permanence Police protect Capital Four horsemen with Four million horsepower Never money for food Always money to kill for Never money for food Always money to kill for

Any light that shines too bright Any joy that can be extracted Circling in on the family Vampirically attracted Is it diseased? Is it diseased? Straight to the core Fencing the soul Joy as a resource Palatable to a studio audience Pull out the teeth Monopoly on violence Is it diseased? Is it diseased? Straight to the core Fence what we stole I wish for a light that shines bright

I lost you when you lost you Out on a gurney Unconvincing understudy Swapped at intermission Nothing expository See the evil in everything All the cracks inbetween The stick in the spoke Don’t follow too close A devil behind the wheel Every moment is a chance to fail Every failure is a chance to stop Off the ladder Off the meds Behind locked doors Quiet talkers Start to forget // I lost you when you lost you A razor’s edge Between control and none Off the train at The setting sun See the evil in everything All the networks between Plot and conspire Toxic and violent Malevolent choir Every moment is a chance to fail Every failure is a chance to stop Black out the windows Lock all the doors If they can’t see in there’s Nothing to answer for /// I’ll find you where you find you Find new symptoms Wait for a miracle Don’t recognize who you are Anymore See the evil in everything White knuckle death grip Don’t let it slip No room for error Can’t hold it together Every moment is a chance to fail Every failure is a chance to start Back on the ladder On the meds Behind unlocked doors Quiet talkers Not a secret

about

Using samples from childhood recordings and CCM hits as a starting point, Man of Anxiety is an exploration in looking backward in order to find peace in the present. Examining the connections between being a new father and lived paternal relationships and the overbearing presence of patriarchy in all facets of life. The sound can be described as "post-new wave", pulling from influences like OMD, Severed Heads, Talk Tallk and 80s synthwave reissues to create off-kilter but richly textured electronic pop songs.
