Wake up, Wake up sleepy head/ You can't ignore the morning forever/ and although your dreams may seem sweet/ It's nothing you'd dare to repeat, no never/ And maybe what seems so ideal in your dreams/ Is best left where it sleeps

Never Again (free) 02:15
These people surround me/ Like trees they grow around/ Their roots twist and turn/ Squeeze me til I burn/ Maybe I'll learn/ Noxious gas fills my lungs/ And I can't escape/ Can't excuse what you've become/ We'll see what you've done. Chorus:My eyes turn white while you pretend/ Can't seem to get wise/ Can't see til the end/ You'd tell me the truth but it was always bent/ Hands clutch at me as they jut from the ground/Little daisies with fanged petals, pulling me down/ Soft laughter and thoughtless mistakes/ There's no time to turn back/ My bones become fake.

Thriller (free) 03:02
Well, if looks could kill I'd be standing here still Wonder whatever lead you to Believe that you're such a thrill And you might have me beat Knock me off of my feet If only you made your intentions A little more discreet And I'd be laughing If I thought it was a joke From the way your acting I can see it's a lost hope Your lovely bangs might Hide you hungry eyes Look so Non-chalant You Didn't come tonight To compromise That's not what you want Just cause it's the weekend You've gone right on past the deep end With a ferver that I feel I should Applaud When it's all completed When the weekends been defeated Does it leave you feeling any less a fraud And I'd be laughing If I thought it was a joke From the way your acting I can see it's a lost hope Your lovely bangs might Hide you hungry eyes Look so Non-chalant You Didn't come tonight To compromise That's not what you want

Soul Stealer 03:07
You stole my soul Took away everything Ties took their tole My pulse was elevating I let you in my head And for some reason All my thoughts were read Turned blank, But still turned on You’re a soul stealer An enchantress No Nothing Less You took everything These wings on my back Bleed almost every day The blood is cold, in fact Downward, it makes it’s way. Remove the anesthisia Pull these needles from me Can’t handle it intreveniously Stop this inhumaine surgery You’re a soul Stealer An enchantress And nothing less You Took Everything

I've done the math and I've read the lines I've checked the answered Up and down they're fine These little problems They're not your's They're mine, so don't Don't tell me how to waste my time It's the tension that I love It's the attack and the release It's the build to the resolve It's that I never feel at ease I want it so thick that it chokes me I want to cut it with a knife I want it so close I can taste it But forever out of sight Well, fingers and toes The elegant prose Didn't come this far Not to see where this goes Yes's and no's Yesterday's clothes I'm wearing them again Just to remember how this goes. I've done the math and I've done the time These little problems They're not your's, they're mine Fingers and toes The elegant prose Didn't come this far Not to see where this goes Yes's and no's Yesterday's clothes I'm wearing them again Cause I woke up on the floor

Can’t tell what’s real anymore Shoot me again and I’m on the floor I’m barely phased, I beg for more If I suddenly bled out, you’d settle the score Fire burned our shining brown eyes Our beginning sets our deep demise The shackles run deep, dare to deny The mind betrayed, the heart defies Can’t tell what’s real anymore Shoot me again and I’m on the floor I’m barely phased, I beg for more If I suddenly bled out, you’d settle the score I can’t see past your burned face I too, have lost my place When everything turns to fire What’s left, but deep desire My cracked rib cage collapsed with stress Leave my carcus, leaving me in complete distress Give me medication, this tick will be supressed

What stops me so completely What keeps these hands at bay What giants holds me down And never give an inch away What makes these eyes so heavy What fills these lungs with sand What fills this mouth with words No living soul could understand I used to think I was eloquent I used to think I had the words But words are hardly relevant If I can't even find the nerve Cause yes you make me nervous You're beautiful and terrifying I do not deserve this Until I'm not afraid of trying yes you make me nervous You're beautiful and terrifying I do not deserve this Until I'm not afraid of trying The crushing weight of nothing Around my neck

about

Awkward Terrible Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Awkward Terrible were formed in the super-heated heart of a secret volcano fortress. Christoph Crimson tickles the guitar strings and manipulates the secret inner workings of a possessed Nintendo Gameboy from 1989. Sam Decimus thrashes at the drum set with dangerous rhythm. Together they create supernatural, death-defying, 8bit punk for you and only you. ... more
