Hunch 02:01
If you're here, it's gonna bloom Alarmist attitudes Just so easy to get caught up in the mood Suckered into chasing tedious stagnation Authentically arranging your personal mythmaking Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it through I wouldn't make it through New ways to distance Big news Don't miss it Satisfy your interest Hyper-focused inattention Sink into the portal Chance to be immortal Make anything seem normal once you figure out the formula Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it through It's more distinction than discovery Recognize your reckoning No one's ever spiraling into control of anything Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it Had to hunch or I wouldn't make it through

Well, are you dreaming of the places that you'll probably never go? Or are you thinking about the time you'll spend on your couch when you're at home? Well, are you dreaming of the people that you'll probably never meet? Or all the great ideas you lost stressed over the messy kitchen sink? Hold that pose then drive it through What you've done and what you're gonna do

Final Form 02:26
Bold lines you can't ignore Analyze, adapt, adorn Kingslayer, you're too busy Paying the price of progressing Soothsayer, sight missing See through the shine to find what's clean No blood, no bandages Coordinated images Kingslayer, you're too busy Crafting my final form
5.
In perfect view A missed opportunity confused and all askew So consolidate Miracle cure Pats on the back or more obscure potential for A blessing So the choice is yours Is this who you are or who you were? System restored But it made you late Where the soul dreams Of all you tried so hard to be And it's interesting new geography Scatterbrained and requesting changes Sent in a draft Polyrhythmic pages Highest source Mouth of the horse Peace offering But it's such an eyesore One day when it's worth the same Penny you spent Penny you saved One day when I'll feel the same What choice was I supposed to make?

Thanks first and foremost to our friend and brother Robbie for his dedication, commitment, and contributions to the band over the years, including his early help in developing this release. We love you, buddy.

And of course to our friends and families - especially Amanda who continues to go above and beyond housing, feeding, and supporting our band in numerous ways. Crystal, the original Firecakes crew, and everyone else who continues to show up and support us. Victoria Marie for being the best photographer in the game and always making us look good, as well as being an invaluable friend.

To Tony and Kat Baker from Hot Mess Records for always being on our vibe and continuing to push us to get better, learn more, and develop our art in new and interesting ways. You are true geniuses and master craftsmen!

Bridget and Haley from Take a Hike Records for your endless support, tireless effort, continued friendship, and constant reassurance.

Eddy and The Humming Byrd crew for always taking chances on us, giving us opportunities (and a lot of free advice), and being some of the coolest and nicest people we've met playing music. Rest in Peace, Roger.

And last but by no means least, to all the amazing bands and artists that we have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know on this journey: Pinksqueeze, Cut Your Losses, Tourist Season, Broken Robots, Damager, Totally Cashed, OK Cool, Heet Deth, Annie's Takeout, Torch the Hive, Background Character, Turn N Fire, Oscar Bait and Jim Howes, Scarlet Demore, Jessica Ever, Leonora, CalicoLoco, All the Wine, We Weren't Invited, Superkick, Anything is Everything, Cam and the Book Club crew, Blind Adam & The Federal League, Boundary Waters, Jeff Schaller & The Long Way Home, Brother Violet, Dad Hat, Blue Car, The Fundamental Kink, Pretty Pleased, Daylongsigh, Davey Dynamite, Crash Birmingham, The Last We Heard, Clementine, Austice, and many, many more!
