lyrics

Set the scene, shoot him clean, kill the ketamine
Check his vibe to prescribe meth-amphetamine
Striking Icon

She’s a mess, no success, expectation-less
No escape from the rape that is happiness
90’s sitcom

She’s a chemical routine
He is dying like James Dean

We all learn violence from someone
I smoke the ammo in their gun
She watched me kill the only son
My starving soul’s the lonely one

What a kid, twist his id, keep his ego hid
Tear his seams, burn his dreams on our power grid
Handsome trainwreck

What a shame, who’s to blame for her drinking game?
Now she wins mortal sins and a taste of fame
She’s not perfect

Put the bastard kids on trial
Make them bleed with proper style

I really thought that I heard you
I really thought that I hurt you

I'm hurt but I'm alive
Lie when they arrive
Die to slash the ties that bind
Mother was unkind
Father just maligned
All the stars god misaligned

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
