Grip 03:54
Wreck, rebirth The broken-bottled dregs I don’t need for conviction any more Median castaway, a faded dream’s allure Played enough at climbing from my concrete island home Forgotten what these broken legs were for I leave behind The tyranny of signs Transparent things you hold on to I know what’s mine A greying field of sky And in whose grip I lie Pain, no less Blackout caresses, encroaching green Forgotten what my failing eyes had seen Once so excessive, now so lean I leave behind A life of lies between the lines The tyranny of signs Transparent things you hold on to I know what’s mine No, I was never so alive A greying field of sky And in whose grip I lie

Wake from a dream of a blank page Straighten your story, are you still sleeping Clear headed or empty headed With secrets that would bear keeping Only Looking for a star to wish upon Ready to be used til you are gone Collect your consolation prize In this you’re not alone Fear is a faith to beguile you Outside you nothing is certain Except how they will revile you When they pull back the curtain Only Looking for a star to wish upon Ready to be used til you are gone Collect your consolation prize In this you’re not alone Trade in poisonous projection til it feels like real connection Misdirection and rejection soothe like lullabies When those convenient convictions Someday reveal real victims Will you collect your consolation prize

Lowdown 02:52
The time is too short But never too long To reach ahead To project the image Which will in time Become a concrete dream Another cigarette Another day From A to B Again avoiding C, D, and E Because E is when you play the blues To avoid the ending Is to win the game To avoid relegation The big E Drowning in the big swim Rising to the surface The smell of you That's the lowdown Drowning in the big swim Rising to the surface The smell of you That's the lowdown

about

As Jawbox rehearsed for shows with the addition of guitarist Brooks Harlan, we reworked a couple of songs from our first record Grippe. We felt those, as well as a Wire cover, were worth recording. Enjoy!
