In a dream I am staring at a wax boy’s eyes and he looks just like me
He blinks when he hears his name
He can feel that something’s changed
But he sits there silently
On the day when I finally feel my age, will I still feel like me?
Will this watered-down world hold
my frail body when I grow old
Or ship me off to sea?
Or will I take a stand and show you?
Mom, I don’t know what I should do
Now I'm staring at myself in a wax boy’s eyes

Lyrics by Max Steinbach
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
