Black Mold is a song about the realization that the thing you held closest to your chest was actually destroying you slowly. Think of it as the immediate feeling before Kaleidoscope and Another Puppet. It'll all make sense soon enough.

lyrics

paint you a picture but get trapped in the frame
thrown in the mixture but get stuck with the blame
spin til it’s all blurred, sugar coated with your shame
fed by your whispers, only a pawn in your game

so i come to terms with your impossible words
so i feel your burn; i’ll throw it back, we’re taking turns

holding the doors closed, leave it behind center stage
numb from your own cold, stare off into outer space
linger like black mold, shutter when hearing your name
waiting till I fold, only a pawn in your game

so i come to terms with your impossible words
so i feel your burn; i’ll throw it back, we’re taking turns

so i come to terms with your impossible words
so i feel your burn; i’ll throw it back, we’re taking turns
feed me to your worms; i’ll hold my ground, i’m unconcerned
so i feel your burn; ’ll throw it back, we’re taking turns

i am just your pawn and we’re just taking turns
i am just your pawn and we’re just taking turns
i am just your pawn and we’re just taking turns
i am just your pawn and we’re just taking turns

Taking their name from an uncirculated American gold coin from 1879, Four Dollar Piece (Paul MacMichael and Peter Koza) combine elements of alternative and garage rock with distorted drum machines and synthesizers. The duo's mantra of "big riff energy" permeates through its poignant but heavy rock songs. ... more
