The Mess: 4.28.22


This is out in the world.

Go listen loud!

Lyrics for each song are below.


Suburbia:

Hell on earth is in suburbia

Traffic jams in parking lot towns

Flooded by pumpkin spice lattes

Every foot rocking a pair of uggs


Turn on the news (You can't make me)

About places where things happen

And thank god (All thanks to god)

That they don't ever happen here


It's comfort over style

Excess over sharing

Safety over freedom

Me over you


Dreams go to die in suburbia

Fenced off from the whole wide world

Numbed by strip malls and fast casual dining

Empathy died off a long time ago


Turn on the news (No fucking way)

About places where things happen

And thank god (Why should I?)

That they don't ever happen here


It's comfort over style

Excess over sharing

Safety over freedom

Me over you


City lights blind you to injustice

McMansions make you feel special

Oh so civilized, Oh so superior

Laws against the undesirables

Your privilege knows no bounds

Oh so civilized, Oh so superior

High school sweethearts bathe in nostalgia

Ignoring problems through patriotism

Oh so civilized, Oh so superior


It's comfort over style

Excess over sharing

Safety over freedom

Me over you


Start a Fire:

Let's go!


I have nothing left to do

You have nothing else to do

Let's have this one last night

Cause it's time to start anew


It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to burn it down

It's a good night to start a fire

And say good-bye to this town


Burn all of the past away

And every bad memory

Put the ashes in the trash

What did they ever do for me anyway?


Tonight, I don't feel like being good

Tonight, I don't want to be understood

Tonight, I want to sing like a choir

Tonight, I want to start a FUCKING FIRE


Feel the heat on your face

Leave nothing in this place

No remains it all must go

No one must ever find a trace


It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to burn it down

It's a good night to start a fire

And say good-bye to this town


It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to burn it down

It's a good night to start a fire

And get my ass out of this town


It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to burn it down

It's a good night to start a fire

And get the FUCK out of this town


It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to start a fire

It's a good night to start a fire

Another One?

So, I guess I am doing this again. Sending out my thoughts into the void. I do not know why, but writing these, actually helps me feel...

I am back?

Well this is weird. I know it has been a long time. More than one year of silence. What have I been doing? Good question, tonight at ten....
