Or maybe I'll come back,
Or find somewhere else and not stay here,
Find a boat and not stay here,
Build a bridge and not stay here.

Pensive recommends:

Dead Pursuits
by Caged Bird Songs

Think the ferocity, darkness, creativity, and intensity of bands like Orchid with the slower tempo and tonal clarity of metal influenced crust punk. Heavy, creative, and original throughout. Pensive
