"Blood droplets cook like glue"
"We'll make believe"
"So save for me the pleasantries"
"Went out and lost your senses"
"Went out and spent your senses"
This album may be Matt's best lyrical work since "Maybe I'll Catch Fire", but there's still a blatant saturation of death-oriented adjectives and metaphors to feel that these songs are heartfelt. Early Alkaline Trio songs are so personal and easy to relate to, but as the occult and death theme increased, the songs seemed to be more about shock value than honest emotion. This is the first output in a while that doesn't remind me of a B-Horror film. Matt's still got his touch; he just needs to stop sending his lyrics to Satan for revisions.
I believe the following lines need correction:
"Blood droplets cook like glue" "We'll make believe" "So save for me the pleasantries" "Went out and lost your senses" "Went out and spent your senses"
