Sam's Song

Sam says he don't need no home / said he found himself by staying moving / the routine and comfort gave him a bruising / alone and unknown he found it soothing / get out get out get out / or you'll die waiting / you're filling the norm you're life is vacant / get out get out get out / or you'll die waiting / you're filling the norm you're suffocating / on the frozen plains outside of Montreal / deadlocked suburban sprawl / he heard himself in the feedback's call / got in the van and left it all / raise the foreign sun from late night beers / five lives in thirty years / abandon dull culture's snare / for horizon's wealth / and a memory shared

It's a Trans' World
03:03
|
|||
waking up all blurry brained / I sublet these bones / these eyes are windows / but this ain't a home / identity divide / in a prison skin / I call it inborn / they call it sin / self-hatred bleeds out / from the target practice aim / ostracized and demonized / I slow implode with shame / it's not cosmetic / it goes down through the roots / if they bury me it won't stop the rising truth / your moral compass spins / bending on itself / when the hate comes gnawing you snap at someone else / they wanna take my voice / they wanna make my choice / it's just natural / it's a trans' world / they wanna smother me / with their insecurities / but girls will be boys / and boys will be girls /

Detonator
02:48
|
|||
I sat around all day doing nothing / it felt like shit / lately it's your speciality / you seem to thrive on it / the guitar for the remote / and all the parties for the couch / you turned into a silent ghost / we never see you out / it's not a change / it's a funeral / invisible is a synonym / for your settling / for your giving in / adulthood ain't an antonym / for creativity / and all of your friends / I wanna be your instigator / I wanna be your detonator / I'm not saying that you shouldn't slow down / but you should moderate / it ain't living if you ain't moving / if you don't make mistakes / your hand on the remote / and all your words buried in the couch / you turned into a silent ghost / we never see you out / it's not a change / it's a funeral / invisible is a synonym / for your settling / for your giving in / adulthood ain't an antonym / for creativity / and all of your friends / I wanna be your instigator / I wanna be your detonator /

Great Apes San Francisco, California
Insert hype-up descriptors here. Plain and simple, San Francisco's Great Apes are a lyrical punk band. Music, much like a bio, is often at its best when it’s spit out intensely and quickly, with concision and honesty.
