lyrics

Losing depth, losing sleep
Your poisoned air’s been killing me
It's all my fault, you're never home
You're on my side but you're not my friend, you've got my heart, and I'm closing in, you cut me off for a lack of sin.

It's not my motive to deceive,
not a problem for you to grieve.
Something's wrong and I don't know what,
you shot me down just as I pulled out.
It's not my own, this is not my home. You're pouring salt in my aching bones

Doesn’t always have to be my fault, you’re all alone even when you’re not.
Sometimes boys just aren’t your friend, only good things seem to end. “You’re off your head, drop out or drop dead”
I don’t care, I’ll just fight. I don’t care, I’ll just go blind
I was a father before a son, its not my problem that you’re so numb

Almost never on my feet, and when I'm down they're kicking me
You broke me down hard enough, now you've won you can back off
I'm a shadow of who you want, I tried so hard but it's not enough.
That’s something I wanted to be a lie

now by winter you're incontinent and the wolves are letting on
I wanted to crush you beneath my boot, but I let you breath and now I’m the fool
in love with eyes that never see, another heart that doesn’t beat
Can’t respond to stimuli

Does it always have to be my fault? you’re all alone even when you’re not.
Sometimes girls just aren’t your friend, only good things seem to end. “You’re off your head, drop out or drop dead”
I don’t care, I’ll just fight. I don’t care, I’ll just go blind
I was a father before a son, its not my problem that you’re so numb

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. ... more
