Hard Talks Make Shits Walk

lyrics

Alone in the dark
Gliding through the empty streets

It's not very far
feels like an eternity

the streetlights blink
to the rhythm of my heartbeat

but I've never felt so out of sync
/
Stormed off in the night
an argument for ego's sake

fell off of your bike
a stranger found you in the street

surrounded by wings
the sauce it stained your skinny jeans

and we found your bones in the street the next week

I don't think these drinks do what you think
It isn't a fuel it just consumes your wallet and the way you think

and since you disagree with everything I speak
it's time for me to ride home in the dark I think

Alone in the dark
faster now than usually

my legs pumping hard
muscles aching for relief

but I can't stop
feels like something's chasing me

but I've been alone on these empty streets
/
right next to the park
one you pass by every day

you hit the curb hard
touched the earth and fell asleep

the cars passin' by
only notice some debris

as they drive by the ditch where you sleep

Keep it up and that's just what you'll be
an empty, washed up, useless container for alcoholic drinks

discarded, lifeless, broken on the street
...

Keep it up man, that's what we'll be

about

The Worst Generation Columbia, Missouri

Acoustic antifolkpunk / porch punk type sounds
FFO: Apes of The State, Matt Pless, Paul Baribeau

I'm just some rando who probably doesn't identify as human in the same way as most do. I'd put my name on these songs but I feel like they are about twice as honest and half as shy as I am able to be as a person so I'm a little uncomfortable with that.
