Neighborhood 03:59
we could travel across the water no one follows but I feel like I could fly again feel like I get high again feel like I could fly again just a day in the neighborhood. I could hear people live if I want to look around see the people talking it's a day in the neighborhood. I've been pushing on these clouds when it seems like I would on the poisoned mind I'm finally leaving town finally leaving town poisoned minds are finally leaving town It's a day in the neighborhood. it's my mind that I've been hanging onto pull the shroud all around to be one with silence it's a day in the neighborhood. It's a day in the neighborhood its a day for life, life if I want to look around. see the people people upstairs It's a day in the neighborhood. look across the water. see the dirty river flow.

about

Benchmarker New York, New York

Tainted backgrounds and life’s paradoxes collide revealing stories of anguish, resignation, contempt and joy in songs of Benchmarker.

Over inventive, pounding backbeats and curious, counter-rhythmic basslines, Benchmarker fashions melodies at once sad and happy. Restless. Peaceful.

Add guitar, harsh and unforgiving with just a touch of sweetness, and you have reached the Benchmarker.
