Lyrics: 

Glass board over burning blocks  
Ivory hands and ticking clocks  
Maps unfold like folded lies  
Smoke reflected in their eyes  

Marble rooms with frozen air  
Nothing human enters there  
Moves are made in quiet tones  
Over broken bones  

White squares, black squares  
Same war, new prayers  
Nobody kneels up there  

No kings.
No crowns.
Just bodies falling down.
Push.
Replace.
Another pawn erased.
No kings.
No names.
Just different flags and flames.

Tailored suits and careful speech  
Fire always out of reach  
Sacrifice sounds clean and brave  
When it’s not your grave  

Lines advance in perfect rows  
History nobody knows  
Check the board, adjust the score  
Open one more door  

White squares, black squares  
Same smoke, new airs  
Nobody bleeds up there  

No kings.
No crowns.
Just bodies falling down.
Push.
Replace.
Another pawn erased.
No kings.
No names.
Just different flags and flames.

Move.
Move.
Move the line.
Sign the deal.
Call it fine.
Smile wide.
Stay aligned.
Never step on the frontline.

Who stands on the board?
Not you.

No kings.
No crowns.
We’re numbers written down.
Push.
Replace.
Erase another face.
No kings.
No names.
Same fire, different games.

Flip the board.
Still the same.

No Kings

DTT006 | boxset - batch_six (EP)

https://deviltowntapes.bandcamp.com/album/batch-six

Written between November 2019 and May 2020, 'batch_six' sees boxset moving away from the heavily structured songwriting of previous efforts in favour of a more playful approach. Pieced together from an initial set of 12 loops, 'batch_six' is the sound of boxset letting loose. No deep thinking, no trying to make it sound a certain way, just seeing what happens. Full of richly layered guitars and adventurous instrumental detours, tracks recall the likes of Pavement and Yuck at their most expansive, whilst all clocking in under 3 minutes. 

Lyrics:

heading out early
lighting all around me
sun is beating on me
the maker left something in my way

can i head over?
i think i’ll head over
i’ll let the others know
what was sent

i saw it there
above me
my skin is burning
a lens is burning

they don’t feel bad
cause they don’t feel
all the time

he let me go early
i think i lost feeling
i remember hearing
that maker burns a couple
every day

i don’t know how i made it
need to find a way of
letting others know
where i am

i saw it there
above me
my skin is burning
a lens is burning

they don’t feel bad
cause they don’t feel
