give me the keys
'cause you're not driving anywhere
give me the keys
'cause you're never going home
you set me off with your cold-eyed blank stare
you turned me loose now help me cope
i break, i bleed, i wait on bended knee
you take my hope
and now the smells are colder
when you pray for your life
why don't you pray for mine?
Originally released by Hyperrealist Records, this deadly and experimental split 5-song spit is a train wreck of unusual, uncharted territory in hardcore. Florida's Cream Abdul Babar offer up a dose of complex, tempo-shifting abrasiveness produced by Billy Anderson (Jawbreaker, Neurosis, etc) on one track, and a mess of noise/rhythms on another. Seattle's Teen Cthulhu** dish out the unrelenting, bone-chilling keyboard-driven black/death/punk that they are known for across 3 mind-numbing tracks. (Hyperrealist #4) **Bandcamp version does not have Teen Cthulhu songs**
