Easy Chair 04:43
Take a ride Venture inside Baby take a ride It’s on your watch but I got time Movin' rather slow Movin' rather fast Think I’ll let you know All things must pass I’ll take it on the run Take it anywhere As long as I can come … Back to your easy chair

Spun Out 05:37
I’ve been so spun out Thinking of you I wanna call you up now But what good would it do? It's so solitary, been talking to myself I wanna be with you now, but you’re chained to someone else My body is turning to a clot The souvenirs I cling to start to rot In this town the mothers eat their sons Fire up the flame, away I’ll run Please wanna be near me Come sit by my side I can’t pretend I’ll shield you from the things I cannot hide But I really gotta know you I’d kill to be let in No more indecision, let me out of this web of sin The writing on the wall is upside down The faces in my eyes don’t make a sound Presence and abandon side by side The antlers and the velvet must collide...
3.
The news is out all over town That you've been seen a-runnin' 'round I know that I should leave, but then I just can't go, you win again This heart of mine could never see What everybody knew but me Just trusting you was my great sin What can I do? You win again I'm sorry for your victim now 'Cause soon his head like mine will bow He'll give his heart but all in vain And someday say you win again You have no heart, you have no shame You take true love and give the blame I guess that I should not complain I love you, still you win again

The Path 04:02

I was down in New Mexico Ashen winds began to blow, they blew around There’s not a soul in town And I just can’t seem to kick the old Covid blues This disease Tryna bring me down I wanna kick it But I don’t know how This disease Is bleeding me I don’t need, don’t need, don’t need Your sympathy
6.
You can’t trust a girl who sees herself in you Mirrors are made for reflection, not looking behind you Always
7.
Don’t blow out that candle Keep it burning for me Let the flicker sway and tumble As the night crawls endlessly... Don’t draw those tattered blinds now I can’t be your private eye Stillness feels so hallow, blue moon on the rise Used to think I was a martyr, waiting to be crucified But everybody’s got to answer for the product of their crimes

about

PV-25

The second release from L.A.-based Dividers represents a foray into uncharted territory for the increasingly overwrought "Cosmic American" movement. While echoes of bittersweet honky-tonk balladry are still present, 'Crime of Passion' refuses to coddle the listener, weaving together a variety of disparate styles into one relentless continuum, a surrealistic vision of modern decay and apocalyptic love.
