about

Dedicated to those armchair sociologists among us.

Every feeling must be explicitly labeled and defined, every range of human emotion condensed into a series of words. Every social misstep is an unforgivable transgression. Patronize the ones you love. Infantilize your worldview. Append your fears with pet names and self-deprecation so that you don't feel the need to take them seriously.

Joke about your toxic relationship, laugh nervously when you don't get out of bed until the afternoon. Decide to drift, choose to fail.

My body aches. Always tired. I'm having a bad dream, baby.

lyrics

Microaggression give me depression
Give me those words the ones that you wanted
I think I’m having a bad dream baby
I think I’m having a panic attack
I’m having an existential crisis
It's increasingly hard to sleep without eyelids

I know I can’t control you
But I’m not the patient kind
Get that ass in line, baby
Don’t break this heart of mine

I say you’re toxic you say I know
You say I love you well baby I know
Tell me something that I don’t know
You said nothing, nothing at all

I know that daddy taught you not to be polite
But don’t you give me shit now just because I’m right
My love is not a thing that you can earn
Doesn’t matter how much you yearn and yearn
I know that daddy taught you take and never give
But baby daddy doesn’t know you like I did


Ever since you shut the door
I’ve loved you more and more
I missed you every day
And in each and every way

Well ain’t that some shit

Why are you so thick?
I think she might be sick
Make you my bitch
Now ain’t that some shit


Daddy told you not to be a bitch
Daddy’s girl doesn’t listen never did
She just goes on and on and on and on and on
The things I’ll do to you are frankly kinda wrong
The way you treat me makes me feel like a little kid
Your dullest edge just does not soothe me like you did

about

Animal Boy Guelph, Ontario

We’re a band from Guelph, Ontario.

We’re four anxious twenty-somethings who write extremely honest songs that you can dance to.

Sometimes those songs sound like indie/surf and punk.

We’re in a city that is very, very far from the ocean.

We’re doing it anyway.
