lyrics

They always try to steer us, telling me to cheer up.
But this is just what fear does, I wish I knew what clear was.
We fill our beer mugs with our tear ducts.
I don't wanna hear stuff so I put in these earplugs.
We're all walking in place, talking to say nothing.
Stalking our prey, afraid of interruption.
So punch in, this is what a hunter is now.
Run the kids down so they stay in this town.
Depression set in, affecting what we dream about.
So now we scream and shout or forget and leave it out entirely,
lie to me violently. It's better then half the truth.
Grab a noose for Happy Tooth,
but I'm someone you'll have to shoot.
I'm tired of the way that everything is.
More inspired by the hate that's infecting my ribs.
Then this fixed listless sickness,
wicked picnic of forgiveness we stick with,
full of gimmicks, minutes sentenced to pretend bliss.
The days so long we write the same old songs,
and stay so gone that we can do no wrong.
Sing some more on your way to Singapore.
Tell us what you think of war.
Sink the ship to drink the shore.
They learned to swim in the bourbon and gin.
A person begins with a version of skin and purposeless sin.
Cursing the wind, because we don't understand it so we panic
with random antics these phantoms can't fit on this planet.
Where we run from the damn sun.
Don't put your hands up,
find seeds and plant some.
To whom it concerns,
we've had enough turns of the Earth,
it's dirt, worms, words and sunburns,
plus a predisposition to sadness.
Allergic to the surface and the wisdom of fascists.
Addicts to the pursuit of never satisfied.

about

Happy Tooth Columbus, Ohio

"Both Happy Tooth and BDotJeff spoke to the idea that music can be therapeutic, and writing and recording is now less about reaching a larger audience than steadying the turmoil within. “You do start to question your own motivations, like, why am I doing this?” Happy Tooth said. “And I’ve realized that I love the art, and I have to make it because deep down it makes me feel better.” - MatterNews ... more
