lyrics
[for the past.]
Well, I was born full of hate and cast onto a stage. In the spotlight I burned up with all of my rage with my umbilical cord coiled tight ‘round my throat as the audience laughed; their tears stained their fur coats. Then they gave me a bottle and forced me to suck it: “Go to school, get a job, get married, kick the bucket” and when Death comes for me, he’ll spit on me and say “You were just a number, you’re no goddamn snowflake.” I’m a neurotic guy with below-average looks. I like pale, dark-haired girls that like their old-fashioned books. I’m afraid of death, rejection, and the government and what I’ll see in myself if past the surface I squint. I graduated back in the class of ’11 but God help me if I’ve got any real direction. I quit my one steady job because it felt like a cage. Now I sit on my floor counting my leftover change and this is where I am at. So I’m writing my songs, my films and stories, my poems as I stare at my friends, knowing I am below them and I dream and I dream and I can dream until I’m dead but nothing will happen if I don’t get out of bed. I’ve got philophobic darkness resonating in my heart. I want to get better; I just don’t know where to start. Maybe if I stopped constantly living in the past, it’d be enough to get my head out of my fat ass.
Monster Bad combines deep, layered punky musical planes with hauntingly heart-wrenching lyrics and soaring melodies on this concept album about lost love that you'll find something of yourself in. The Real Whitaker Todd
Some of the coolest indie-psychedelia around. I hope you like dancing because you're going fucking go ham if you're lucky enough to see these guys play these songs live. The Real Whitaker Todd
