ohs The ones around me The fakers call me Lost track of me Role integration Below my station No more integrity Am I of value? Or could I hurt you? It feels like struggling To break the surface Of feeling worthless But lose all subtlety again Oi – Oi – Oi Oi Oi (x8) What happened? What happened to me? What happened? What happened to me? Bowing depression Is never ending I’ll lose myself In wasted anxiety Am I even genuine Or have I lost myself Just trying to survive The pain The guilt the fear – I can’t escape it My mind is eating itself Snake And leave me devastated Alone, in this It’s never ending Alone, in this It’s overwhelming Oi – Oi – Oi Oi Oi What happened? What happened to me? What happened? What happened to me? The surface Is worthless We’re all alone

Don’t leave it open Keep it vulnerable He gave me something To believe in And back behind the Old abandoned barn She opened like a flower Don’t leave it open Things they fall apart Our feelings now Will last forever Behind the river Where he laid her down She opened like a flower, but only kids, too young to give it away Only kids know best Then we were animal Caught in the animus Believing energy will go – go – gone Then we were animal Caught in the animus Believing energy will go – go Don’t leave him hanging Keep the fire out We’re stripping down to hide desire we say forever and in our backyard the stars begin to shine the little problems will be ironed out the splits that happen

What if I just come up short What if the world gives up on me Covering up and hiding from the windows When we all decide to press pause When we all decided to flee Was it enough to close it down forever? Hey! Hey! Get vaxxed, you bastards! What I need is a dues ex machina How do I cope with the perfect disaster? This freedom is too much for me Tie a mask on my anxiety Hands are shaking from the lack of good sleep Putting a hole in a decent day Crying alone beside honesty How many times do we close down forever? Hey! Hey! Get vaxxed, you bastards! What I need is a dues ex machina How do I cope with the perfect disaster? I type into the internet How am I supposed to deal With all the constant reminders Of how I’m supposed to feel No mentor ever explained to me How I would think and all it would be How the world could be deterred Inside of me

No what you say does not offend me Women may laugh Men may kill An endless cycling of violence Offenses are Your guilty thrill Here comes your consequence (CONSEQUENCE!) x4 Free speech purist Justice tourist Coward jurist You deserve this! Your policy of funding failures Existence not a talking point Exaggeration and disservice Those bars are steel You disappoint Here comes your consequence (CONSEQUENCE!) x4 Free speech purist Justice tourist Coward jurist You deserve this!

You figured out too late This wasn’t the life This wasn’t the life you needed You figured out too late I wasn’t the wife You fooled into thinking you needed me All debts are paid All debts are paid All debts are paid to me The debt you owe me Can never be bought Can never be settled And what you’ve taken No it will never be void I never heard such hypocrisy All debts are paid All debts are paid All debts are paid to me I’m broken hearted For all the time I spent I want it all back The hope I trusted The effort bringing you back I want it all back

It wasn’t obvious to us Until the factory burned down Wasn’t obvious The handcuffs shone in black light Take another look around you Take another look around before you go Take another look around you Take another look around It’s only obvious until We heard the big suburban fight Wasn’t obvious Oblivious - Insidious Take another look around you Take another look around before you go Take another look around you Take another look around TAKE ANOTHER LOOK Take another look around you Take another look around before you go Take another look around you Take another look around

Bombshell 01:57
Slamming doors  from the latch he said he would fix she found the note that said  "it wasn't your fault" the windowsill it held  one fingernail like a burning ember like a broken man like desperation like a bombshell like a flying bottle like a dropping star like the last bullet like a bombshell he said her name as he fell shutting doors keeping in the shame that won't die she burns inside she wakes up from the same nightmare the scream that rips out from her throat like a burning ember like a broken man like desperation like a bombshell like a flying bottle like a dropping star like the last bullet like a bombshell

silence my mind silence my body a pool of red covered in monotony snag another thought hung up dead inside the one that's bringing you to your knees i'll kill the pain in you if you kill the pain in me you be the opium to mix with my counterfeit sheen over counter pain ain't strong enough for our scene (not our scene!) just give me anything it's just a little off sound to catch your ear oblivion is bearing down in spite of me suppose it's all true watch and crash parade a monster to feed my memory i'll kill the pain in you if you kill the pain in me i'll be the fentanyl to mix  with your death defy lean the counter pain  ain't strong enough for our scene (not our scene!) just give me anything CUT CUT CUT cut me out

They’re gonna turn me The way they turned you Point and click and buy now Filling up the void And you’re a zombie Get out of your tv Get out of the movies Turn it in now! I’m on your side (x3) But then you… Point and click zombie Throw away your lipstick Take all of your makeup Throw it all away Serotonin zombie Click another offer Forget all the others As long as you Get yours! Get yours! Get yours! The others don’t matter Get yours! Get yours! Get yours get yours ‘cause they’re getting theirs! I’m on your side (x3) But then you died My hands are tied

about

The Lowcocks Detroit, Michigan

Glitter and grit and sweat and spit, it’s not just a phase - it's The Lowcocks. Full of chaos, attitude, and A LOT of good hair, their music is crafted with love and reckless abandon that channels and challenges the punk genre. The front woman's guttural screech impeccably contrasts the tight compositions. Infectious, political, and just plain fun - this is the punk we’ve been waiting for. ... more
