lyrics

I hate mourning people while they’re still alive
You’ve got a chip on your shoulder and a wish to die
Got me feeling Hemingway while you’re quoting Mary Wollstonecraft
Apathy in vain to see if I will give a damn for
Any one of these excuses for empathy would be
Better than me and my tendency for self deprecation

You told me this ain’t a feeling it’s a war
Won’t you come and buy me while I’m selling myself
Short again

In the end
We’ll find ourselves are rather insignificant pair
And all of our problems
Have the audacity to pretend to be
Bigger than ourselves

What a shame it would be to find
We offered more than this
And while you’re getting work done
I’m giving death a quick one in the shed

You told me this ain’t a feeling it’s a war
So won’t you come and buy me while I’m selling myself
Short again

All that Kafka and Kierkegaard
Drifts away when you’re in the dark
And all that’s left is the light flickering in my hand
Four thousand hours of burning my head out I’m burning away from you

And I’ve never been so scared in my whole life
As I am now I don’t think I’ll ever survive
You be the fox and I’ll be the hound
let’s both die together and then change the ending when the film comes around

Kaaria
by Jelani Sei

Jelani Sei is a good reminder that we do this because we're writing our favorite music with our best friends. They write awesome songs and the interconnectivity of the band is so tight and inspiring. Standby

Queen Moo
by Queen Moo

It's always tough to write good melodies, so when we do, we usually sing/play them a few times. QM writes multiple amazing melodies per song, and every single track on this record is an event. Standby

Corsica

Jack is one of the greatest songwriters we know and this record throws you into a deep and somewhat twisted vibe and it's just amazing. Standby

The real Speed of Sound in Seawater is fast... relatively. This album is the same in that it goes by too fast and you are already putting it on repeat again. :p jason hankins
