American Wrestlers

Listen: American Wrestlers “Devils”

Sep 12, 2018

St. Louis band American Wrestlers lead by Gary McClure just released a new song “Devils”, which follows the single “Ignoramus”, released in April. There’s a new album on the horizon for American Wrestlers this year, which will follow 2016’s Goodbye Terrible Youth. Sounds good to me. The lyrics for “Devils” were posted with the song on Bandcamp:

Come over my pacifist friend
Or we wont meet again
All winter we covered our skin
Now you wont feel a thing
And we’ll burn with the devils we raised
And sleep like a stone
They’ll burn with the devils they raised
Sleep like a stone
All love is a sorrowful theft
Concrete from the sea
Cold calling for the featherless men
Fenced in by the wind
I own the Capital
I was born to give
Same old servants under flowers
Dry out in your dress
See me cling to denial
Like salt to the sea
I want to sit for a while
I wont speak
Same sick ward since 79
These days
This close to the gloom
I’m something til the living decides my fate
There’s so much time to lose
