A Crack Along The Doorway
Lamniformes
They will tell you that you’re chosen Put a knife in your hand Then sell a vicious past A dream that will not last You don’t have to be their weapon They don’t really care about you To them you are coal They’ll split you into parts Incinerate your heart You don’t have to be an atom There is another away Where we collaborate Where all the barriers Finally dissipate Don’t let them seal you in Listen I have stood where you are standing Stood on barren ground I hurt the way you hurt But they will make it worse You don’t have to live in anger Through the crack along the doorway You can feel the wind The door will open up And wipe away the dust If you choose to let it in

The Lonely Atom is the second studio album from the Brooklyn-based heavy alternative rock project Lamniformes. It is a concept album about the isolation of modern life, the fractured projections of the self that exist outside of us in digitally mediated spaces, and the struggle for real connection in an increasingly atomized world.

Dedicated to Montana Elliot
