about

Cranes
off the upcoming album About Survival

lyrics

Cranes in the air
All over town
Cables taught with impossible mass
Filling up the city sky
With plate glass and elevator shafts

You can’t fight it
It’s decided
It’s too big to fail now
Don’t fight it
We underwrite it
Rising of the tides
And when the water comes inside
Take the elevator up
Don’t fight it

Cranes in the sky come crashing down
Steel and glass shattered on the ground
Ash fills the air and chokes us all
We never heard the sirens call

This is not your parents’ city
This is not some utopian dream
Everything goes according to plan
Everything as the market deems

You can’t fight it
It’s decided
It’s too big to fail now
Don’t fight it
We underwrite it
Rising of the tides
And when the water comes inside
Take the elevator up
Don’t fight it

Cranes in the sky come crashing down
Steel and glass shattered on the ground
Ash fills the air and chokes us all
We never heard the sirens call

You can’t fight it
It’s decided
It’s too big to fail now
Don’t fight it
We underwrite it
Rising of the tides
And when the water comes rushing inside
Take the elevator all the way up
Don’t fight it

Cranes in the sky come crashing down
Steel and glass shattered on the ground
Ash fills the air and chokes us all
We never heard the sirens call

Cranes in the sky come crashing down
We never heard the sirens sound

Handsome Boston, Massachusetts

Largely influenced by the post hardcore, alternative, and riot grrrl movements of the 1990s, Handsome’s sound pulls no punches. With a broad range of dynamics, it is both melodic and raw. Their lyrics push for the liberation and self actualization of trans/queer folks, people of color, immigrants, and women, while also exploring, class struggle, defiance, fear, loss, ambivalence, and isolation. ... more
