about
From the upcoming SOUR SMILE split being released on Delayed Gratification Records.
"This song is about being a Chink in America." - Jeff
lyrics
I’m a stone
I’m a weight
Let me sink
Another spot at the bottom of the sea
In America drowning in the dream
Would my ancestors be proud of me?
Bastard son
Momma tried
All I know
Model boy
Prototype
Can he cope?
Hold the stress till you explode
Till you explode
Till you explode
Crush Crush Crush
Squeeze Squeeze me
Into shape
See how long the pressure takes
Every day’s a Hail Mary
A try for grace
A firework in a liminal space
Muffled cry bit-crushed in a post-digital age
Get me the fuckin fuck out of here
