From the layer of plastic that grew on your eyes and brain
From the ground you decided to bury your faith and dreams
I was right at the surface waiting for you to come out
But after a while there was only concrete and buildings
With these heavy bricks attached to your feet
You won't go anywhere
With this disease you wanna spread
With this poisonous bread
I won't be there for you…
Can't you see those worm are eating you from the inside
like an inception
Invades your mind and makes you blind
Green paper spills… still not fulfilled
I wanna reach out
but there's too much shit in my mouth
I'll wait 'til I'm done to go back
Go back to where I belong
I can't free my mind
And it's eating me from the inside
Lost in memorabilia
with plastic soul recycled people
there's gotta be a way to break free
Unchain yourself
These walls are only made of ashes
There's gotta be a way to break free
And in fact, I would really like to know right now
And now as you noticed your sight has been drenched in blood
You can run like you want but you can't really go away
I reached for your hand, but you faded away
I won't be there for you
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
