you ever wake up thinking
"this could be the last day of my life?"
not just a lonely day
but something that wakes you up inside
so carpe diem
carpe everything you've ever wanted, here
you feel so good
until you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror
and all your little black hearts
they will turn to stone
and you will wake up and find
that you're all alone
and everything that you love
and that you've ever known
is gone
everything you've ever known is gone
garbage here, and useless there
and what's that stuff caught in your hair?
i don't have time for this today
there's work to do; there's bills to pay
but, maybe, if i caught your smile
then we could sit and talk a while
but what's the use? i'm feeling blue
and soon i'm betting you will too
going down the drain so quickly, i can't understand
can't shake the feeling it won't be okay to hold your hand
maybe if i like this song, i'll try it with the band
but what's the point? it's not like i could ever take a stand.
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
