Critics: Keep your head above the water.
The sharks come around to feed.
Kick hard, you're treading water.
It's too late: Shark attack down in the deep.
Violet: It's 8 PM, he promised me he would come.
He's half an hour late and I'm still waiting for his call.
I'm not prepared to hear this,
I cannot face the stand alone.
Critics: This feels good, we're warming up now.
How about a volunteer?
What? No hands? How disappointing.
In our headlights they look much like deer.
Violet: 9 PM, he's dead or he will be soon.
I thought I made it clear how much this evening means to me.
I need a hand a behind me.
I need someone to hold me up.
Critics: Your legs break, your arm is missing.
Your neck snaps within our jaws.
And we'll shake till all that's left is
Bone, blood, and the sound of our roaring applause.
Your kids are shit, and so's your method.
When will you realize
It takes work and proper understanding
To teach them a thing otherwise.

As you might guess from the title, this is strange and eerie synth music meant to conjure a mystical film where all is not what it seems. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 14, 2023
