about
Heavy guitar licks combined with uncomplicated drumbeats make up the majority of this track, but when Ryan Thomas Becker sings the first line, you're in. The passion and intensity in his voice is unmatched by vocalists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and those elements add to the grittiness of his uncommon sound. After listening to “Goon,” you may find yourself humming it long after.

Goon, where you walk to knife in sand, lifting the curse while you shit in the hand. Piss on the heads of the sick and the lame. The blind see his grace when they call out his name.
Healing the father but choking the son. Vomit Messiah cleans his gun. One will be saved if one will know. To slaughter the lion, the lamb may grow.
Goon wears a cross that bears his name: Citizen Failure; relief from the pain. Hold onto curses and gather the sins. Three hundred frowns for sixteen grins.
And eye for an ear. One daughter for a son. He answers to many. He calls out to none. Rescue the fleas while he smothers the head. Three will be saved when sixteen are dead.
Goon, where you walk to life in hand, mellow the curse while you swallow the sand. Spit on the heads of the saved and the same. The blind see his grace when they call out his name.
