lyrics

The world was once an image
Of moving pictures
But now its shattered glass

I used to know my childhood
I heard the wild wind
Blow over blades of grass

Earth is dumb, cold and numb, I’ve become
A white light
My throat is tighter than a drum

I heard him on a phone call
His soul was lonely
His mother’s only son

I see him lying stable
Chemically able
To watch the seasons run

You’ve arrived, I’m deprived, I’m alive
Close your eyes
And watch me dive into the sun
Oh God I swear I’m fucking done

I’d agree your sanity was less than sane some days
If your brain’s a weathervane the sky is stormy gray
Memories of ecstasy and then a violent haze
Look at you, how much you grew while you were away
I am not a passing phase
I don’t need your vicious praise

about

The Distractions Connecticut

The Distractions are a post-industrial-sludge-ska-metal-punk-flies-on-shit type o' deal. If you play your cards right, you might just figure out what that means some day, kid. We don't play your average dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. We play that real dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. And remember, don't leave the oven on!
Love,
Dad
