about

This song may predate The Pineapple Army. I honestly do not recall. I think it was from the very last group of songs I wrote as KcL before changing my monicker to The Pineapple Army. I do believe I was going to reuse it for Tim Kasher is Dead, the follow up EP to Tim Kasher's Radio that never was. It's just a sad, breakup song for the most part. Woe is me.

lyrics

Why am I here?
The question burns hot
I can't accomplish goals
My future is rot
On the log of my life
On fire, on track
Onward to misfortune
On top of my back

My nervousness rising
My insides are writhing
I keep on living while I keep on dying
I don't want these answers, I just want to quit
Nothing to stop me, nothing to write anymore

All my topics all lead back to the same grave
The hole I dug years ago back when I first was enslaved
The path I paved was fruitless, not a life saved
Just taken away, taken away from me
I don't want these skeletons, I just want a part of speech
One tiny line on my vocabulary

I don't want my head back, you can keep it
I just want to know why you left me alive

The bones exceed your bonuses
The cons outweigh the pros
The speech you bastardize each night covers up the pose
The makeup that you slur together can't make up the clothes
I want you out of my house
Keep your voice down
The bars you frequent frequently are houses in disguise
You stalk them with your cellphone ready to call up random guys
I'm just here to be a hero but I see it in your eyes
I'm a taxi, just a used up night
But I've been thinking harder everyday you cloud my motives
I'm not working for you, I don't have to reach a quota
I could turn you off instead of bringing you along
So goodnight, have fun drowning in a song about a boy
Who couldn't rescue you

I haven't left the city
The world is just too big
I'm not infatuated by your everlasting swigs
You're tired
Try to get some sleep but the pounding in your head..
It's me
Trying to keep you up

about

The Pineapple Army Michigan

I've always been terrible at writing biographies so why stop now. We're probably a band from Michigan. We don't adhere to a specific genre which causes mild schizophrenia in certain individuals. We will write commercial jingles for the right price and we do NOT play at weddings, only funerals. ... more
