Lyrics

I went and walked myself
Like a dog without a leash
Now I’m growling at a stranger
I am biting at their knees

And if I wanted it, you really think I’d wait for the permission?
For protection and assurances that all would be delivered?

And like our fathers did
Our mothers did
And them and those before
And you say you want a difference
The honor to be yours

And like our fathers did
Our mother did
And them and those before
The echo and a retell
Of some shit we’ve heard before

And what if we stopped spinning?
And what if we’re just flat?
And what if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch?

And what if I’m an angel?
Oh what if I’m a bore?
And what if I was confident would you just hate me more?

Oh, I got heaven inside of me
And oh, I’m an angel
I was sent here
To keep you company

I’m on an endless march to nothingness
With only breath inside my chest
And the promise of a life
That you deserve, that you thought best

I’m stuck inside my loneliness
I’m stuck inside my grief
I wish I could have been there
To save you from the reach

I am spiteful like a god
Seek a vengeance like the rest
For what they did to you
I will never lay to rest

It’s raw and unrelenting
It is absolute regression
It is vileness wrapped up
And disguised as happy endings

Oh I got heaven inside of me
Oh I’m an angel I was sent here
To keep you company

[stratobungle]

Such a perfect blend of influences - Riot grrrl crossed with shoegaze - Dreamy and abrasive... Love it!

[adam.swensen]

This band rules and rules even harder live! So happy they’re releasing more!

[adrianasolari]

i can’t get enough of this song. I like how intense the beginning is, and how all the sounds; her voice, the guitar, the drums especially, works with the lyrics. fucking love this banddd

[DanielCantinero]

I miss this kind of music… It feels 90’s I fkn love it!

[TeketaShine]

This whole abum holds all of the energy that is erupting from me and needed a sound. I'm so grateful for the timing on the release.

[kristopherbras]

Just discovered this band and I've been obsessively looping their back catalog ever since. Exactly the kind of band I would have fell in love with 28 years ago!

[spore]

Passion conveyed through music is something you cant fake or exaggerate. Just stumbled onto you guys a couple days ago and I love love love this

[purplegill]

First time I've heard this band. IMMEDIATE favorite. Awesome work guys.

[adamhymel]

Damn this song is amazing. Reminds me of 90s alternative/ grunge mixed with punk and a dash of modern hard-core. AMAZING blend

[michaelkennedy]

Got hooked when ‘Romantic’ was released and you guys just keep getting deeper and deeper. If you ever hit Alaska on a tour we’ll be there.

[angel-]

best music video i’ve watched in a while. the lead has so much passion, i have this on repeat

[TheScoppie]

Saw these guys at a small venue last year, supporting Holy Faun, no idea what they were gonna be like - turned out to be a fantastic mix of punk, dub and metal, armed with some killer tunes. And this new track shows they’re just getting better!

[coldgrandpa]

This really is such a good song I've listened to it over and over

[jacobbeltran]

Clicked because of the band name. DEFINITELY not disappointed!!! You guys are sick!!

[jasonadams]

I just listened to this song 5 times in a row. Instant banger and a bad ass video.

[井桁卓真-bt]

I was touched by your emotional beautiful song!!!
you know the importance of contrast
great songwriting!!! great work!!!

[Leisurous]

saw these guys tonight, they were incredible! they brought tons of energy and got the crowd finally going!

[melmelo]

That's the first time I found not just some lyrics but the entire song relatable.

[inlieuofsense]

obsessed with that empty straining spot in the mix that just fills and washed over u in the chorus

[EastBayJ]

I love this band. Just discovered them. Stupid Facebook won't let me share the video. The world needs to hear this!
