Lyrics:
Riskin your position
When you feel like you’re invincible
Kid with intuition says I think this ship is sinkable
Give our ourselves permission to be pitiful and miserable
my business is to walk the line, and make this death original

Who wanted bad glad sad mad dad chad?
I can fake being vulnerable
Or I can laugh off my life, its planned
You want afraid, you want grateful?

Didn’t want to have sing about our tragedies
But they’ve been overwhelmingly consuming me
I wanted to grow I wanted to change
Couldn’t do it alone trauma got in the way
So I’ve been greedy for guidance thirsting (yearning) for soul

Stifled silence by my own device My skin suit I never wear

Your judgment
Means nothing to me
I’d rather steal than borrow
I collect more weaponry
You’re mentally unstable
I won’t hold back
It’s my destiny
Filled all my cracks
So I sleep restfully

I’m invested In the war machine
You’re a piece of shit who doesn’t care
I got millions of mouths to feed
My seed you know I love to share

Endless violence is my only vice
My skin suit I never wear
Im always grinning with my pearly whites
At your blue eyes and long hair

Heres a fine be me line
A one fingered peace sign
The delusion idolized
with wounds in their rounds

The lonesome stink eyes
they preach to the house flys
cant be swatted by a pig with the pearls
What? I mean

I don’t climb up stairs
Just to climb up stairs
Just to climb up stairs
To go nowhere

Who the fuck are you to say I lose

Pure chaos finally made me bleed
Fumbling my bravado
Been searching for serenity
A traveled path to follow
We all heard bones crack
From the impact
Now I’m coming back
To try and build a masterpiece

Dude Andrew becoming a more consistent vocalist in recent projects has been fucking killer. The dynamic of 2 singers that can hit the same notes but sing with totally different styles, ON TOP OF Jon's endless mastery is just phenomenal

[MrJakotic]

It's always amazed me that DGD is able to put out such high quality material as fast and consistently as they do. They took their time with JJ but other than that there's practically new DGD every year and the way they are able to consistently evolve their sound and push things in a new direction while still staying true to their core is what makes them so great.

[BLUNDY]

WE MAKING IT BACK INTO THE MOTHERSHIP WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[AlexVisions]

I just love how Andrew is finally considered a main vocalist, dudes voice is angelic as fuck 🙌🏻

[seano]

CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HIS LAST
This is a great song to end the era on

[MsToxicWolf]

Absolutely love all three vocalists, Tillian and Andrew are amazing and Jon ugh I love his STYLE I love DGD

[chevroulette]

There are other bands in the Swancore genre but it’s called SWANcore for a reason. This band is so goated at this point🐐

[Bodehi_The_Archivist]

Y’all, this shit is insane. If this is a preview to the sound this DGD album will have, consider me so sold. I love the heavier progy- sounds so I’m glad to see those viscerals back after the super refreshing summer vibe sound and absolute earworm vibes of the JJ album

[_tokii__]

If the album they're currently working on doesn't have Tilian, this is the last Tilian song we'll probably get 😔

[SunShadow]

"Only bangers from now on" they said... these lyrics have yet to lie

[Kuruma-gcyn]

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

[toastytoby]

JON SAYING "WHAT I MEAN" IS EVERYTHING TO ME

[frozenandchosen]

3:06 - 3:31 is one of my favorite passages in recent DGD, there's just something so earnest and anxious to it and it builds back up into that final chorus so well

[echoingdespair]

if this is the last stuff with tilian his era ended with one of the best songs hes been on.

[lucasmoses]

Shits just insane. I’ll love this band forever. They don’t miss truly

[jackpenber]

Why is it every time DGD reaches its peak we lose the lead singer? DBM2 was such an amazing album and it left me so much hunger for more Johnny DGD but I was devastated when I heard Johnny wasnt coming back. Im equally devastated about this.

[Senza.]

you guys pass these bangers out to us like god damn pokemon badges. I feel lucky to be alive in the same timeline as DGD

[Slimeball]

Been listening since "Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean"
Never missed.

[cmays]

THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE ONLY BAND i’LL STOP EVERY-THING, JUST TOO LISTEN TOO THAT NEW DGD…!.! !…

[Zexion]

This feels like a Secret Band song ft. Tilian and Andrew 😂 Loving it
