lyrics

I crawled up the mountain, stared into the sun
Past a fence made with fingers, the shadows that run
Like a window with bars to keep fireworks out of my house
It's not funny, set yourself on fire
But what is a house, not a home, just a living room
Peering out into the world like a cell phone
This safety's not real and my own mind's a prison
I've never been home, am I waiting to get there?

I'm not taking time to breathe like I'm alive
I'm not taking time to find how it ends

I passed through the eye of a glass to myself
Like we used to with bee bees shoot beers on the shelf
'Til the shards fell like bullets and one of your guns went off
Into the distance, we stared out at nothing
But what are these feelings just lost in the ether
These wholes that we halve 'til there's nothing left in them
The sleep that you'd get when you laugh yourself stupid
I wish you remembered the last time I talked to you

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
