lyrics

I've been idling for a week now
Hiding fully in plain view
The spires grow up fast and tall now
Still obfuscating me from you|
I know you'll gladly turn a blind eye
To the paint and the mortar between these bricks
Look instead at my kingdom realized

I've been idling for a year now
In this lost metropolis I've planned
Where even statues carry rifles
The false bravado of the damned
Look instead at my kingdom realized

I've been idling fifty years now
Would you see what I began
For such a wretched little man?

I've been idling for a lifetime,
A hundred years in the rust
A hundred years in the rust

about

The Aldermaniacs Chicago, Illinois

The Aldermaniacs are an unexpectedly ear-catching combination of cello, played with a daring approach to melody that makes use of unorthodox textures, and amplified guitar, played with a cool, understated tone and a colorful use of harmony.
