in my mind, all the time i think of you
thoughts behind linger on until they move
you wait 'til the fog rolls in
inheritance or next of kin?
stairs are blind, so stay behind for your truth
when the heart of the matter is brought upon the move
was i so far out of reach? or worthy of a cool preach?
"history repeats, you haven't learned
like an otter wriggling on the berm
another heart you've gone and burned
a rise before a fall
finally pursued and not in pursuit
in this eternal chase, love far removed
now guilt descends, as if by rule
a rise before a fall"
another crash and burn
this side of paradise is yours
if inheritance is bliss
it's the inheritance i missed
I've had a slow burn with this album, it started as something I easily recognized as good, but I've been coming back to it throughout the year and it keeps getting better, and now I really do believe this is one of the best albums KRS has put out. It gets into some raucous ALL CAPS chaotic energy but paces it out well and throws in tracks that give the album experience some dynamics. But even in those valleys it still feels so intense and vital. Truly gripping stuff here. Alex Tripp
