about

lyrics

at what point does it happen that we stop being young & no longer innocent. suddenly something feels wrong & you're dripping from your face & breathing awkwardly. & you look up with dead eyes that are trying to detach & find something familiar that you always seem to lack. & everyone around you looks like no one you would know. you just never could notice how bad things really were while you were growing up. there aren't many things stranger than simply just being alive & aging each day.
except for being born & confused by your gender & covering your genitals with your hands when you shower. or keeping an old photo of a friend who died last year, with you standing right next to them, smiling & unaware. it happens to all of us. there is always something terrible just waiting to start & all that you can do is try to be strong & brave. be brave.
the only love that some people will feel is drunk sex. I just closed both my eyes & took it. we're all having bad dreams & feel sick when we stare at our own reflections.
my death rattle will be a cup half full of change shaking noisy in the cold wind in every persons face. & my arm will rot off & someone will take it home, lay it next to them in their bed so that they don't feel alone.
I wish we weren't here, didn't feel this, had no hair growing on our heads. you are not real, & I am dead. but I don't believe in god; I believe in you.

the official suckers Halifax, Nova Scotia

"the official suckers do not suck. i imagine most of the kids at the show think they suck the least out of everyone who played. for such intricate songs, with lyrics which don't rhyme, i was amazed by how many people knew all the words..." - show review by byron.
