Genimi

Says he will, meaning he might.
Takes his pills, doesn't swallow.
Medicate double rations.
Passes out, candlelight.

Appetite,
nausea
Paralyzes him.
Yeah.
Gemini,
heart beats fast.
Double time,
breaks like glass.

Solitary, socializing.
Covers bets, wakes in ___.
Built to kill, hosts a mansion.
Give a choice, he'll choose both.

Trust no one,
screen all calls.
One on one or
none at all.
Gemini,
follow through
Just a sign.
It's only true.

Masturbates, then feels guilty.
Scrubs his hands 'til they relent.
Smile expresses strong resentment.
Shakes until morning next.

Appetite,
nausea
Paralyzes him.
Yeah.

Gemini,
heart beats fast.
Double time,
breaks like glass.
Gemini,
follow through
Just a sign.
It's only true.

I thought I might take a few minutes out of my day to give props to one of my favourite Jawbreaker songs, Gemini. It's a bit of an obscure track, only ever released on their final LP 'Live 4/30/1996', an LP that was extremely limited at the time of it's release (although it has since been re-issued by drummer Adam Pfahler's Blackball Records, you can check it out here if you're interested. Anyway, Gemini is a rockin' little number, the live recording gives it a really 'raw' feeling, kind of like Jawbreaker's pre 'Dear You' material and I think the song benefits from it immensely. It's got a really punk vibe to it, decently fast,a bit heavy, catchy and with a lot of cool bass work going on (or it might just be a bass heavy live recording). The lyrics seem pretty hopeless, but that is typical Jawbreaker. Blake's voice seems to give out in a few places, but that's half the fun. GEMINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
