lyrics

She disappeared, we’re all in danger
Now I’m a stranger in her prose
She tells the stars they’ll never change her
That’s what the drug’s for I suppose
The drug she knows
The drug that shows her how to love her hell
And helps her tired mind count seconds til the bell
I am the memory she’ll sell.

My heart’s alight, my brain’s a blister
My friends all whisper in my ear
They called me faggot when I kissed her
‘Cause I get needier each year
I need her near
She needs me here beside her when we wake
To prove that we’ll outlast the love our parents fake
Pain rains from clouds that our minds make

And now I’ll plagiarize an adolescent dream
Then go to CVS to buy some self-esteem
Am I her loser if I quit the winning team?
My circus queen sent me a drone
She dropped the bomb on me and left me alone.
Leave me alone.

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
