lyrics
(Verse 1)
Invincible to live with
And Impossible to kill
Got Trillions and trillions of siblings
Swimming at will
Delicious to fishes
Til We’re ripping through their gills
These Fidgeting idiots are Not permitted to chill
Part time Pacifier
Full time enabler
Brain in the cosmos
Shoulda stayed with earth
All These customers are fuck ups
Cant Escape the dirt
Piss and moan on their lonesome
Cant Find a way to flirt
Sit sit sit you’ve earned this round No need to cash out
Sip sip sip til the buzz goes blackout
Shit shit shit another 86’d to catch now
Bliss bliss bliss til you finally pass out
Stuck in the trash til Im free’d by the teeth of rodents
Public enemy number 1
Take me straight to the ocean
When it comes to the side effects
Best believe Im ghostin'
See you in a 1000 years
I’ll still be here floatin'
(Hook)
Take me home now
Take me home now
Take me home now
Don't take me home now (x4)
(Verse 2)
My whole existence is a catch 22
Stashed in a casket for 2 past sunny mood
Damned if ya do damned if ya cant sabotage your money too
Told me to hush just Act chummy with these bummie dudes
not exactly law abiding
Often hiding in between the lines
Trading vices for vices til we receive the signs
You know it when you see it
Feels like freedom by design
Conceived in a dream state
Competing with time
Some inventions don't exactly
have the best intentions
Its all dollar signs
And hollowed out commencements
These Creature comforts somehow Columbine’d Connections
Demons feasting on details friending for attention
Lucky for me I can survive with zero vitamins and minerals
These clinical cannibals will happily cannonball your physical
The Cause and effect is mostly subliminal
Just Consume! Thats your purpose
you worthless little criminal
(Hook)
Take me home now
Take me home now
Take me home now
Don't take me home now (x4)
Invincible to live with
And Impossible to kill
Got Trillions and trillions of siblings
Swimming at will
Delicious to fishes
Til We’re ripping through their gills
These Fidgeting idiots are Not permitted to chill
Part time Pacifier
Full time enabler

All These customers are fuck ups

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschisupported by 32 fans who also own “Single Use Friend”
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 23 fans who also own “Single Use Friend”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.
