lyrics

Don't eat the food because then we have to keep it
She said it's just like me to always ruin the weekend
Despicable individual and a slave to ritual

I touch the finger divot between the hemispheres of my upper lip
White trash ignition button hit
Drive the lawnmower on rocks and I don't give a shit
Self flagellate huff fog and I won't ever quit
We spend long nights searching for my beloved shruti box
Fantasy drives my macabre romantic walks
I stare down at backlit feet Dutch sky under floor for days
Roll your head back ceiling is plaster white capped waves

I'm hot car death dad
I'm not that rad
Rock and a hard place?
I'll get shit faced
I lie and lie
Just can't fake smiles
Small goals are worthwhile
Mosaic of shit tiles
Rewind the tape on my fate
You'll see I'm not so great
The asphalt that frames up my house
From little bones was baked

So I'll use the shed for smoked meat tanning
Use the den for TV/manning
Like Rip Van Winkle steamrolled his life
I'll hide out here without my wife

I'm hot car death dad
I'm not that rad
Rock and a hard place?
I'll get shit faced
I lie and lie
Still can't fake smiles
A meaningless lifetime
A piano from the sky

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
