There’s a man-eating demon, it’s clawing at my chest.
I can’t explain it. I don’t understand its darkness yet.
I’m standing on the frontlines. The world is black and red.
I want to save us but you can’t save what’s already dead.
Humanity is in our hands.
I don’t want to be afraid but the blood rises every day.
We’re fighting at the crossroads of our lives
and we’re not going to lose.
Our will to live will pull us through.
We come from different stories, dark shadows in our eyes.
We fight to live, and yet, to fight is a promise to die.
Our hearts are pulsing hot. And we are terrified.
Seeing a better world is not done without sacrifice.
Humanity is in our hands.
I don’t want to be afraid. The body count rises every day.
We’re fighting at the crossroads of our lives
and we’re not going to lose.
Our will to live will pull us through.
We’re human, we’re alive.
We’re not ready to die.
We’re gambling with our souls
to see a better world.
We’re human, we’re alive.
We’ll do more than just survive.
Our will’s stronger than fear.
We’re human.
We’re still here.
Humanity is in our hands.
And we are still afraid, but we keep fighting anyway.
We draw blades at the crossroads of our lives
and we’re not going to lose.
Our will to live will pull us through.
We’re human, we’re alive.
We’ll do more than survive.

This is a gorgeously mature EP that pulls at the heartstrings in a way I didn't expect from wrock about Cursed Child. In it, you'll find two tender ballads from fathers to sons, a catchy celebration of a world gone wrong, an upbeat jam about teenage love and two touching love songs from husband to wife. Every single song is deftly crafted and has the exquisite lyrics from the Mudbloods that I just love. yourwizardrockresource
Rising Philadelphia band balance oversized pop punk hooks with vivid, intimate lyrics, presenting a raw, honest vision of guitar music. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2022
A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
