Badlands, I wouldn’t change it for the world
Don’t change the past
Can you change it back?
Badlands, badman
Don’t go with that boy
He smokes reds, but he’s something else
Badlands, badman
In denim
Badlands,badman
In gold
There’s something underneath it all
God damn, I couldn’t have her if I tried
Don’t change the past
Can you take me back?
God damn, badman
Don’t go with that girl
She wears red and does something else
Badlands, badman
In leather
Badman, God damn
In Gold
I think I want to go
There’s something underneath at all

Asthma of the Odious Son
03:24
|

|
A simple misstep by the odious son
He pays an odious price
Speed racing down Hollywood Boulevard
Taking tourists out
Taking women out
Cocaine dancing in the nightclubs
By the Chinese theater
I can hear your asthma
I can hear your asthma
Odious son
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
There’s a piss puddle
in the handprint of John Wayne
I can hear your asthma
I can hear your asthma
Odious son
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
There’s a piss puddle
in the handprint of John Wayne
right outside the Chinese theater
A simple misstep by the odious son
He pays an odious price
Hanging out too close to the city lights
I can hear you breathing
from all the way over here, odious son
I can hear your asthma
I can hear your asthma
Odious son
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
I can hear your breathing
There’s a piss puddle in the handprint of John Wayne
And it was always just diffraction
it was always just diffraction
He’s just another lost boy
He’s just another lost boy

Leave Your Hometown
03:32

I sent a shockwave through my hometown
Through the trees
and all across the old highschool football field
I could’ve gotten you out
Blood stains the banner ridden halls
You really could’ve gotten out of there
You really should have rang me up much sooner
We could have grown up together
We could have grown up much stronger
But now you fight me back
Then you invite me back
You fight me back
You gotta leave your hometown
Leave it all behind
Get gone
I’ll take the car to find you a good route
Cash the checks
You’re never too old to runaway
I’ll find you a way out
Leave it all behind
Get gone
I’ll take the car to find you a good route
Cash the checks
You’re never too old to runaway
I’ll find you a way out
I sent a candidate to my hometown
To pick the kids up by their feet
and throw away the methamphetamine
I could’ve gotten you out
I could have burned it all and I could have saved you too
You really could’ve gotten out of there
You really should have rang me up sooner
We could have grown up together
We could have grown up much stronger
But not you fight me back
Then you invite me back
You fight me back
You gotta leave your hometown
Leave it all behind
Get gone
I’ll take the car to find you a good route
Cash the checks
You’re never too old to runaway
I’ll find you a way out
Leave it all behind
Get gone
I’ll take the car to find you a good route
Cash the checks
You’re never too old to runaway
I’ll find you a way out

Dark Lord

Falling through fog
Possessed by the Dark Lord
Dead eyed like Kendall Roy
I’m your brother
Help me
I didn’t get in while the going was great
So I got out before I felt ashamed
It’s all diffraction
It’s all diffraction
It’s all diffraction
Falling through fog
Possessed by the Dark Lord
Dead eyed like Kendall Roy
I’m your brother
Help me
I didn’t get in while the going was great
So I got out before I felt ashamed
It’s all diffraction
It’s all diffraction
It’s all diffraction
I aint no fucking lost boy
It’s all diffraction
Falling through the mist
Like a lost boy I was found
Redone, rebound, re-washed
I didn’t get in while the going was great,
So I got out before I felt ashamed

Anger
03:34
|

|
I’ve got a voice
And I’ve got spirit
It’s your choice
I wanna hear it
Chant with me
Stay with me tonight
I don’t want to be alone
Sometimes it’s easiest to go to sleep
Not anymore
The spirit of poetry can eat my ass
I don’t want to lose you
This anger in your heart won’t last
I don’t want to move away without you
So much anger
So much anger
So much anger
Got to sleep
I’ve got a fate
And I’ve got fear
to be a cuck on the outskirts of the world
Chant with me
Stay with me tonight
I don’t want to be alone
Sometimes it’s easier to go to sleep
Not anymore
The spirit of poetry fades to black
I don’t want to lose you
This anger in your heart won’t last
I don’t want to move away without you
So much anger
So much anger
So much anger
(Is there hate in your heart?)

Glassy Eyes
05:11
|

|
To be me is to be meek when you’re all watching
To be me is to hate when I am all alone
I’m stranded with the ones that I love
Rebranded for the fate of my future sons
And when I think about you I tense up
And when you speak I can’t wait to interrupt
Glassy eyes, My glassy eyes
From time to time, lie like yours
Glassy eyes, My glassy eyes
From time to time, lie just like yours
To be brave is to care when no one is watching
To be weak is to live a life in fear
And when the solar flare appears
You won’t find me scared
I’ll be on the tallest peak screaming, “I am the one!”
Oh baby I am the one
Oh baby I am the one
For the sake and the dreams of my future sons
I am the one
And when I think about you I tense up
And when you speak I can’t wait to interrupt
Glassy eyes, My glassy eyes
From time to time, lie just like yours
Glassy eyes, My glassy eyes
From time to time, lie just like yours
Oh baby I am the one
Oh baby I am the one
For the fate and the dreams of my future sons
I am the one

Mid-Life(Casio Lvl-Up)
03:40

|
To be a cog in the machine
I can’t say that I mind
Talk to me about apathy
I think there’s nothing on my mind
I’m not scared anymore
It’s freedom incarnate
I am free
A cog in the machine
In my own machine
In my own machine
In my own machine
(Mid-Life)
To be a cog in the machine
You can’t turn back time
Talk to me about anything
I’ve heard it all and I’m spent
There’s nothing to learn now that I’m free
A cog in the machine
In my own machine
In my own machine
In my own machine
(Mid-Life)

Is this peace at last?
Or am I just dumbing it down?
I’ve got a piece that could last a lifetime
Redone, reuse, re-wash, the pain away
I could make it stop
I could make it stop
Cause I am talking and I’m waiting
for another thing to change
Talking and explaining
there’s no upside, babe
Is this ease it at last?
Or am I just shoving it down?
You gotta take it fast
Then pull yourself back up
Lucky for you, you’re in love
you’re in love
you’re in love
But it’s never ever ever gonna fill me up
Cause I am talking and I’m waiting
for another thing to change
Talking and explaining there’s no upside, babe
Cause I am talking and I’m waiting
for another thing to change
Cause I am talking and I’m waiting
for another thing to change
Talking and explaining there’s no upside, babe

Ash Wednesday

You gotta keep it inside
You gotta keep it inside
You gotta look up,
think about how you came so far
Then you bring it back and you keep it inside
From dust you will return
When you keep it inside
It’s Ash wednesday
On Ash Wednesday
On Ash Wednesday
On Ash Wednesday
On Ash Wednesday
On your forehead
It’s written, “I love you”
Oh god, I love you
I love you
On your forehead
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Death (Beyond)

Sometimes it’s easier to go to sleep
One step beyond the dream
We both know that’s a lie
I gave you everything
Lord knows I tried
Sometimes it’s easier to go to sleep

Simply incredible, reminds me of early Foals but with even more edge. Easily the most exciting newer band on the rise, cannot wait for their debut LP.

Firey intensity and noisy rock aggression. Model/Actric carved out a incredible and overly fun style of experimental hard rock. It's a blast.
