nnpoc. God this album is so fucking good. Fusing elements of art rock, noise rock, shoegaze, industrial, post-punk, and post-hardcore, "Next" feels like an album I've been waiting for all my life.

I'M THE CLOSEST THING TO GOD IN THIS HOTEL LOBBY. Favorite track: Alien Hoax.

I live alone It's a big house, and more people lived here once, but I live alone I'm comfortable I eat the same meal each day But for what it's worth, I keep the dishes clean I've had my issues in the past But I like to think that I'm above them now There's a flower growing in the lawn Out the window I don't think that was there before But it reminds me of what year it is And I suppose that's quite nice If something's wrong I make it right And I'm feeling okay Nothing's wrong anymore Sometimes I say too many words I wish I knew how to speak through my actions instead I had a friend who understood that They lived down the road I don't remember their name They lived alone too, but Okay Okay Okay Things aren't quite going to plan I suppose it's not something I can't solve I can get in my car See if anybody has a problem with me yet If something's wrong I make it right And I'm feeling okay Nothing's wrong anymore And I walked in the park Kissed my favorite statue And I'm feeling okay And I bought souvenirs With the cash from the mailbox And I'm feeling happy I'm feeling happy And what have I got to lose? And I'm parked at the lot Loading shots in my Kel-Tec And I'm feeling okay And I feel like I'm living On some 70's postcard And I'm feeling happy It ran up to my door But now it's spilled on the asphalt And I'm feeling okay My feet can still touch the ground And I'm feeling happy I'm feeling happy I'm feeling

Maybe you should reconsider It takes some effort to breathe up there Maybe you should reconsider You've got a lot to lose up there We might be seeing some slight complications The wires seem to be exposed When's the last time you looked in the mirror?

I'm the fountain man, the Fortune 500 lunatic I'm the wet paint dripping off the park bench I'm the appendix that bursts all over the private parking I'm the closest thing to God in this hotel lobby Everyone who's ever done you wrong Well, they're still winning Your scissors aren't big enough To cut through the finishing line Everyone who's ever done you wrong Well, they're still winning Your scissors aren't big enough To cut through the finishing line I'm the honor roll pocket knife stuck in the class desk I'm the patron saint of all the kids with common genetics I'm karmic imperfection I'm the karmic imperfection Everyone who's ever done you wrong Well, they're still winning Your scissors aren't big enough To cut through the finishing line Everyone who's ever done you wrong Well, they're still winning Your scissors aren't big enough To cut through the finishing line I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain I've never experienced pain, I'll never experience pain

We all exit life someday So they waste it while we can If there's a heaven, it'll all have been worth it And if there's none, we won't care Conceited So conceited Undefined and safe To do nothing, but not say We're worth more You were useless We're chosen We're next We're next We're next Of something more akin to They pull the veins out from your eyes Of something more akin to Cracked marble falling from the sky In your last breath you scorch this Earth Before you burn to ash yourself Or something more akin to Or something more akin to next The convenience of the future Meets the mortality of the ancient past Or something more akin to Or something more akin to next Nine people hand-in-hand Are holding the doors closed on a burning train The millennium bug was about 20 years too late Make sure to delete your address When you pass by casings on the pavement Leave them so we all know what went wrong Your neighbor hired me as a hitman Cause your songs scared his 20 kids Of something more akin to When all our ceilings were still dry Of something more akin to We felt it far before our time We step on every nail we see So we can board the spacecraft Or something more akin to Or something more akin to next The cost of wanting more than this Daring not just to survive, but live Or something more akin to Or something more akin to next
