Always knew I wouldn't break until I blundered The shots that I kept under The shots that I kept under wraps From eyes that I knew would just asunder The systematic plunder The heirloom I'm trapped under's Run its course and now I'm sleeping with the lions And fighting as I'm trying To steal my time in quiet But poachers roam like they're not another lion And circle me in spite and make promises of violence How did I get this far from home? How did my bed grow so very cold? How did I get this far from home? How did my bed grow so very cold? The concrete walls remind me of the church's And its basement where this flourished: The gift and my first skirmish How I'd spend so many days alone there Adults busy with affairs The father knew I was there Then and now, Christ carved into my shoulder More loving that I'm older More loving that I'm older How did I get this far from home? They made my bed oh so long ago. I'll pass it along, 'cause its all I know. How did it get this close to home? I'm going under for the reasons I can't Find a coeval heartbeat Out of synch, out of step. I'm going under for the reasons I can't Find a coeval heartbeat Out of synch, out of step. I'm going under for the reasons I can't Find a coeval heartbeat Out of synch, out of step. I'm going under for the reasons I can't Find a coeval heartbeat Out of synch, out of step.

about

Debut LP from Cincinnati Punk trio, The Mimes. The album, self-produced and engineered by the band themselves runs 11 tracks long and clocks in at roughly 35 minutes. Songs vary from produced studio endeavors to crunchy experiments of rogue environments and boombox captured folk commentaries. Additionally, the album takes the listener on an optical journey, as the outfit has taken on filming and directing their own music videos with some collaboration featuring other local visual artists.

Released March 5th, 2021 on Cassette and Digital via Heinous Oaf Records. Vinyl release from Let's Pretend Records tba.
