Protest The Hero - Turn Soonest To The Sea

Song 8 off Kezia

Lyrics:

Do you remember how it was when you bled?
When you loved and burned in those flames that you've kept
Because Vesta's long been sleeping
And now you've come to accept that
Your anatomy defines more than a few of the gaping holes in our social fabric
More than a few one night stands, more than a few prison bars melted into wedding bands

We've made you all the peasants and we've made ourselves the kings
Our queens are still subordinate as an angel without wings
We make it easy to belong which means it's easy to be wrong
"Put some plastic in your tits, and you'd look better as a blonde"

I remember when you were hopeful
And you never thought your life would be lived inside a coffin
With a moral sacrifice and a million social obligations, labels and expectations
You were young and modern seventeen in vogue and vague pursuit of a cosmopolitan dream
When you bled on the bed as you fed those expectations as a whore and not a human
You embraced with hesitation the very parameters of all you can be
Not a mother, not an aunt, not a sister who's not subdued
Because dignity's not physical and your flesh means more than you
Your flesh means more than you; your flesh means more than you
Your flesh means more than you; your flesh means more than you
I know we'll wake up one day with a gun to the back of our brains
You'll be asking for your rib and I'll smile and call you brave
Maybe someday when this bloody skull has dried I'll know our city is in ruins
When our greatest source of pride is a monument of dicks and ribs and gender crowns we wore
Where underneath, a plaque will read, "No woman is a whore"

[XxmusixlordxX]

whichalbum of theres should i get i have none and can get 1 which

[fLKommotioN]

@XxmusixlordxX

Probably Kezia, unless you always have access to a computer because then you can listen to it here. If you can always listen to Kezia online, try:

Fortress if you want a more mathy, metally sound

Scurrilous if you want a more progressive, melodic sound

[Bluepalidamus]

17 people took an arrow to the knee.

@Bluepalidamus

I wish there was a "mark as absurdly overused joke" button. It would be applicable here.

[blake2112]

Kezia > Fortress > Scurrilous

So hard.

[Sitrukpiano]

@XxmusixlordxX They're all incredible albums, but in my opinion, nothing beats Kezia... So I'd say if you are confined to just one album, Kezia is your best bet, although I would really suggest getting all their music, even A Calculated Use Of Sound

[AdriftSC]

Best lyrics ever.

[XxmusixlordxX]

@fLKommotioN nice i ended up getting this one since its the one i didn't listen to every song on yet

[TheOfficialGoomba]

oh, and all jokes aside, 20 people are fucking stupid...

[TheOfficialGoomba]

@XxmusixlordxX To start with this band, this one... but I recommend the newest album, scurrilous over fortress. With Rody doing most of the lyrics, the album has more of an accessibility , and its still fucking fantastic. The guitar is as amazing as both albums put together

[Deliverance02x]

@fLKommotioN Someone's mad that they took an Arrow to the Knee.

[DarkChaos451]

@guitarherolegend55 it's an awesome part, but idk about it being "epic",

Fuck it, the whole damn song is epic

[guitarherolegend55]

@DarkChaos451 how about 3:45 ???
