lyrics

I've been holding off my mind
On speaking words to other people
Like a kid stuck on a stage of
Fear brought on by others' meanings
To this life, he feels like anger's all he gets
From his siblings, teachers, parents, friends and enemies

Hold the start guns
Peel away
Step in line, we're killing for the half life
Hold the start guns
Peel away
I'm wasted, exhausted and excited

I spent years waiting and fearing
What they'd think about my mind
If they heard the thoughts trapped in my gut
And eating my insides
I'm a manic spin of a top, beating wings of a bird
Fleeting light like the sun left with darkness

Fall in line, coming down, crawling out
Like a cat in a box, dead, alive, fight to feel
Fight be to what it means to be you, to be me
Thumb print on the web of an on-demand
Society breaks down when you don't bend down to their rules
Fuck that, fool that they think of you
As a noose on a tree, a scab on the skin of the arms of history

This Machine Kills Sadness LP (2015)
by Caskitt

Amazing record. So-Cal punk band with a nontraditional So-Cal punk sound. And the album name is a reference to Woody Guthrie. The Nucken Futs

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
