Crooked Canvas

by CARSEX

Singer Nigel Burk says “Crooked Canvas’ is about the metaphorical wool being pulled over people’s eyes and the blind, general consumption of what’s being put forth. Whether it’s politics, religion, or which pill will make your dick bigger. It’s about consumerism at its finest & my distaste for it”.
