lyrics

Baby please believe me, if you leave I promise you I’ll die. I can’t survive without you here
Oh god please believe me, I’m afraid of death, and I’m not ready to go. Oh no no
You know you can’t believe me, all the words that come out of my mouth are lies. It’s only a matter of time
Why’d you have to say that? All the words and you decide to use those ones
Why’d you have to be so mean? You’ve never been too nice to me... anyway
If I’m so dumb and you’re so smart, so how come none of your art was good?
It never was

We’re all moving left and right
I’m so bad and you’re so nice
You’re so smart, I’m so dumb, but I’m alive and you’re so numb
You’re all screaming left or right
I’m always wrong and you’re so right
You know everything is black and white

I’m so damn sick of hearing you talk, I wish you’d just shut the fuck up
You’re not my friend no more
Things have been moving way too fast
I wish that they could just slow down
But it’s out of my control
I’m afraid of my own thoughts, I wish I could turn them off. But they’re trapped inside my head
Last night I dreamed of killing you, it made me feel kinda free
The way you cried looked so pretty in the sun
And in some sick way I felt you deserved it because
I had planned a life for us, a little house with lots of sun
And a child I never thought I wanted

We’re all moving left and right
I’m so bad and you’re so nice
You’re so smart, I’m so dumb, but I’m alive and you’re so numb
You’re all screaming left or right
I’m always wrong and you’re so right
You know everything is black and white

Just a New York conversation rattling in my head
He said: “guns are good, drugs are bad, racist shit, but I’m not racist”
She said: “something something misinformed, exaggerated”
Is anyone even listening?
That’s when I drank my soul away, otherwise I’d have to blow out my brains
Cant stand to look at your stupid face, youre out of tune and out of place
Because when I speak I’m never heard
You don’t listen to the words
You’re just glued to the TV set
You might as well be dead

We’re all moving left and right
I’m so bad and you’re so nice
You’re so smart, I’m so dumb, but I’m alive and you’re so numb
You’re all screaming left or right
I’m always wrong and you’re so right
You know everything is black and white

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.
