mia katherine boyle Raw. Eloquent. Energetic. Bullets of truth carried by punk riffs explode into a radiating sonic tsunami that washes away whatever tired thought was looping in your brain. Fuck Yes.

Graduating, Starting a family apartment living in the harsh reality of dreaming I can't sleep i'm not awake either i'm an American dreamer Black mirrors on the backs of our eyelids who knew when we were kids we weren't meant to get it politikin love to talk about all men but what they dreamin' I can't sleep, i'm not awake either Cuz I gotta get paid I gotta get paid I gotta get paid We're not alive tonight we're living suicide but its alright its not like I died I can't sleep but everybody sure is down to pretend we're living So this is a shout to the reality warriors. Seven thousand days a week and forthy thousand weeks a year all existence is an echo i'm not here i'm not here i'm not here i'm not here I can't sleep, i'm not awake either cuz I gotta get paid

Backlash 04:53
forever can't be the same as one lifetime of lost faith i've got some shoulder spirit. can you hear it? one says to give up i can't hear the other heavy breaths breach the cracks they're held back see the from the dark they're eager to be a part of it all "Hey i'm new here, can you show me around? My slate is clear, i've got no background....wanna light it up?" But its never enough,so I erupt, I can't fill my cup but I erupt. I feel you, when we're intertwined A hard line, Black and White I was the spark that made your Daddy ignite you say he's from a different time? Alright, you say he's from a different TIME? Alright, you say h'es from a different time...alright, Why do I even try? Its cause I really really wanna I really wanna behave I really wanna behave I really wanna behave, but I can't relate Now let's play for keeps, I feel something Do you feel me? Just lock me down so I can be free
