You have a beer and a Benadryl
Close your eyes and you can’t keep still at all tonight
Put some more down, spin some more round, all right
Got the keys but you lost the feel
Misery is the dusty wheel inside your mind
Blood on your collar, can’t see just how it shows on the outside
Just like a pleasant demeanor
You walk it back 'till it’s over kill
Talk it to death 'till it isn’t real
You can’t evade evaders baby
If you look close you can see the cracking where it shows
On the outside, just like a pleasant demeanor
You can’t fade before you fall
You gotta’ feel it all along the way down
You don’t fade out at all
What fades are those who see you along the way now
See you now like I never did
Foam at the mouth while you dig for it
Are you hiding or finding the bones, you don’t know
But it all shows on the outside
Just like a pleasant demeanor

What got me inspired back in my teens was punk, post punk and hardcore. I am from Washington, DC. Born and raised. Beautiful music burst out of my city. With a zealot's pride I embraced it. Dischord Records. Go Go music. So much jagged beauty and emotion. So much of my reality reflected back at me.
This has that specialness. Thanks to High Vis for existing and making this music. Michael Lenzi
