Irrelevant onslaught
In the throes of disregard
Old wounds from wars fought
With enemies in name if not at heart
Can't count those casualties
They ain't our kind
Might blame these shooting sprees
On the hivemind
They tried to get me once
They tried to plant the seed
They tried to plant the guns
I told them on repeat:
I ain't the one
Shine all the light you want on me
I ain't the one

Don't shit where you eat or eat where you shit
Someone's bound to make a big deal of it
Mind your own

The Ones They Kill
02:03
|

|
They kill the ones who say unite
They put the carcass on display
You can unmask the executioner
That does not tell you who's who
They spill first blood in every fight
Sneak up on unsuspecting prey
You can dull the axe they wield
That will not spare you the truth
The truth is that we get so little light
They could be sucking blood for our own sakes
You can stake em through the heart
It will not sharpen your tooth

Side Eyes

Side Eyes you have eaten well
Got so big, can hardly tell
That you've been running from predators since dawn
Still so nimble, twitch away
You will be nobody's prey
Not this or any other eon

Heatwave don't you kill us now - We're sorry, we're sorry
Tornado don't you kill us now - Apologies, apologies
Hurricane don't you kill us now - We did not mean to do it
Volcano don't you kill us now - Just take the ones who knew it
Caldonia, Caldonia - What makes your big head so hard?
Monsoon don't you kill us now - We ain't prepared for this
Earthquake don't you kill us now - Consider our pants pissed
Typhoon don't you kill us now - You've put us in our spot
Mistakes were made for centuries - We're sorry but we're not
What makes your big head so hard?

Grocery People

Saw a pretty lady at the grocery store
But I didn't go and try to talk to her at all
Now I'll probly sit and think about her all day long
Then I'll forget
Saw an ugly baby at the grocery store
Well it looked the way I probably smelled
Its mother caught me looking, now she thinks I'm a creep
But it's the opposite, your kid is gross

No more dwelling on missed opportunities
No more dwelling on missed opportunities
No more dwelling on missed opportunities
Everything works out fine
Coulda done this
Shoulda done that
Coulda done this
Shoulda done that
Coulda done this
Shoulda done that
Can't go back in time
Not yet

Broke Again

There's so much cool stuff to buy
Right near me
Oh dear me
I'm broke again
I go out on shopping sprees
Right nearby
By and by
I'm broke again
There's so much good food to try
But we're still hungry
Oh dear me
We're broke again

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
