lyrics

it’s a quiet night on the town
and i’m thinking out loud
what keeps me up’s got me down

as i try to map it all out
weighing plans with my doubt
placing pins, tracing routes

are you listening?

navigating between false and true north
i’ll take the rhumb to the fork
and i’ll gamble my course

anticipation of washing ashore
i’ve got my vest in the drawer
i’ve got my best out the door

are you listening?

there’s blood in the water, the sharks keep on swimming
my clothes are all heavy and i keep on sinking
if the sharks eat the fishes then who eats the sharks?
i’m a part of the cycle just playing my part
when will i surface? when will i sink?
sometimes i just feel like a rock in the sea
but erosion’s been friendly to rough rocks like me
i am listening

terrified of tipping the scales
so i’m biting my nails
obsessing over details

now the balance and the beams have burnt down
so we’ll rebuild this town
standing on solid ground

are you listening?

Tasty fuzzy indie jams to get your mouth watering and your head bobbing, so crack open a glowstick and chug the whole thing because tide pods arent cool anymore. - Shogun Law
