sinaed this EP is a thoughtful compilation that taps into the deepest feelings and sensations of human existence...while being goofy and adorable all at once. And the musicianship is a refreshing concept that holds its own in a great community of folk punk and indie love. Favorite track: Schuylkill River.

It was snowing in July Happens more and more these days We kept ourselves warm With a charged Note7 We millenials seek fallout shelter In our safe spaces And wait for the meme dealers To deliver It took the best of us to fight against the fascists But dank memes can't melt steel regimes Outlawed the maymays and the power they created To realize god-emperor's dreams Only the spiciest of memes could satisfy me GMO free No corporate shills please Only the finest will grow on the server farms Weaponize this shit post to nuclear arms So I blow up the Chan boards "What's up, my guy, you holdin?" Meet me down by the Light Rail station I'm jonesin' hard for a Biden or Picard Or some trash about Harambe My wallet's full of bitcoins I'm looking for the rare ones only These cucks can't dream what we'eve been cooking Selling arms to the leftist rebels Fire up the Low Ion Cannon And crowdsource the revolution Only the spiciest of memes could satisfy me GMO free No corporate shills please Only the finest will grow on the server farms Weaponize this shitpost to nuclear arms The generation born too late Born too early for space We were born just in time for dank memes And to save this goddamn place With the space race lost Moved targets below ground Think they're safe in their bunkers From nuclear fallout But Trump Empire falls to the Utopian Communists When this shit post blows We'll take the fucking continent

Robot/Mech 04:00
I've heard it all too many times before Giant mechanized suit created for war By an evil, ambivalent military complex Piloted by children with no experience Who thrusts that suit of armor into situations without context It's a mech, not a robot It's a tool not a life It's a mech not a robot But if that mech is able to love the human inside And dreams of the day it's one purpose dies Then that mech was a robot who tried AGainst the system A living example of existentialism What kind of life is it too only know How to inflict damage and destroy your foes I watched it's death and I started to dream That hunk of steel was not what it seemed Behind those lightning hands and thunder thighs That iron giant was actually alive It's a mech not a robot Or is it a robot not a mech Has anyone bothered to check I swear, I swear I saw the light The spark behind that automaton's eyes I swear I felt the sadness in its fight Never knowing wrong from right Only it's master's directive The subjective objective And when it starts to think We call it defective But if that mech is able to feel It's reality isn't very real The empty darkness within it's soul Then that mech has a beautiful robot soul Can't you feel it The locked away human spirit Or have we killed it In the end that mech is not so distant From humanity's trademark ignorance and indifference There's no victory for that giant metal Sisyphus From the citizen voting independent Like the Native American descendant Like the man all too sentient That the dream has transcended And that no one is innocent

I've been spending my Saturday nights Bored and tired, and wrapped up in my apartment Falling out of love with Tinder swipes I'm looking for something not so anatomic So I grabbed my disks of FF7 Fall in nostalgia holes for a week or two Guess I'm off to save the planet I know how to emotions from cartoons I'm ready, Aeris, break my heart I need someone to heal me badly Tug my heartstrings with your flower curls Spend a week at Costa Del Sol Tug my heart is what I signed up for Tinder matches never helped me save the world Fell asleep on the couch again I'm dreaming easy of paradise and promised land Cloud's got it easy, let's face it Breaking hearts ain't hard when there's not cost I down a six pack when the swords fall It's always hard to watch it slowly on the screen Love's dying, dramatic But I'm okay, I'm a traveller of the lifestream I'm ready, Aeris, break my heart I need someone to heal me badly Tug my hearstrings with your flower curls Spend a week at Costa Del Sol Tug my heart is what I signed up for Tinder matches never helped me save the world This moment's been spoiled La Petite Mort I'm no stranger to the tragic side This ain't love but it's alright This ain't love This ain't love This ain't love but it's alright Tug my heartstrings with your flower curls Spend a week or two away from the world Tug my heart is what I signed up for I needed a week Of mush and smut and sadness and alcohol To save the world

Distance 03:20
It's 4pm on a Friday And I get the text from my friends Let's go out for drinks, Let's have a night But lately I've been feeling too tired to do much I'm burnt out from the work week And studying for days And it's true that I miss you, But every time I get some time I catch up on my sleep or my shows If it helps you to know I never agreed to this What's one more weekend underground I can make up when I'm less busy We'll have a night we'll paint the town Maybe when I've turned fucking forty But as it stands when I think about you I'll pour one out with cheers To absent friends To the both of us We'll the distance always gets to me And it's even worse with you away I kept every letter you wrote to me And fall asleep to your Pinback CDs But to get from here to where you are Would take at least three flights To cross 9 states in 2300 miles I'm not trying to be dramatic, But the distance gets to me What's one more weekend underground I can make up when I'm less busy I'll pick up the phone if I'm in town I hope you know, I'd love to see ya But as it stands when I think about you I'll Drink a couple of beers To absent friends to the both of us And I know I'm hard to pin down but with you gone Things are too quiet for my tastes And these sleepless towns could use some nightlife I'm going out of style And I wanted to know If you'd go out with me One last time, The next time I'm in town What's one more weekend above ground If I've got no more plans than you do Work is busy and I'm burnt out And, you know, distance gets to you But if I'd know It was you at the end of these flights I could have rode three planes With a smile

5000 gallons coming down on my melon The weight God has given To punish my lack of conviction I can taste the frog spit I can't inhale it I'll have to accept it through osmosis My concrete feet are killing me Murky minds turn to muddled speech Thoughts of death are always comforting Floating past the trash Jersey needles are sticking me I'll never last as long as this plastic Choking on the past Things are going so swimmingly Learning how to breathe But burning rivers make me think The natural purpose of everything Is to witness and become suffering And keep moving Forever searching for 35th and Haverford Happiness was never the answer Floating past the trash Insufficiency always driving me I'll never last as long as this plastic Uncomfortable at last Things are going so swimmingly Now that I've learned how to breathe 5000 gallons coming down on my melon The greatest gift god has ever given For what ignites the brain more than the fear of drowning For what calms the soul more than the myopic act of dying For what For what For nothing For what For what For Bleefore
