Feels like I'm slipping away. Tolerance climbing each day. Living one foot in the grave. Waking up hurts. Still gotta work. But waking up hurts. Everyone around me stops to sigh. Friends are all expecting me to die. "I won't be a statistic, I'll be fine." Poppy Flower Demon in my spine. Poppy flower demon. I'll never be well again.

Flea Collar 00:30
I feel like a dog with a flea collar on. I can't fix my problem I just scratch until I'm raw. Keep me on my fake dope, Trick my fucking brain, Keep my all my receptors clogged and help me stay sane. Orange strip, can't use. No thought, done for you. Plug it off. Shut it off. Cut it off. Just turn it off. Just turn it off... I can't afford the treatment.

Solidarity 00:32
BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
4.
Everyday's a different battle. Hate ones when I'm enabled. Some days I may slip and stumble. I let those days make me humble. Feel like a fuck up. Each time I slip up. I'M NOT DEFINED BY WHEN I GET HIGH, Feel like a loser. "Heroin user" Start over each day, get out of my own way. 24/7 365!
5.
Death creeping in. You cannot win. You cannot run, you cannot hide, if it picks you you die. COVID-19, the stuff of bad dreams, leaves nothing for me. Drown in my lungs, deplete all my funds, life just stopped being fun. Now I wanna run, I miss doing drugs, bring on the slugs. Man this shit kinda hurts. You choke, and fight to breathe. System, crashing, dying in the streets. This is no nightmare, it's your American Dream....With COVID-19. I hope it gets me. I can feel the fluid, it's filling up my lungs. I'm not even angry, I think dyings kind of fun. I can see the bodies, they're piling in the street. I just laugh and laugh, squash them like insects at my feet. I think dyings kind of fun.

about

NAME YOUR PRICE. ALL PROCEEDS FROM TIHS DEMO GO TO BAILPROJECT.ORG BLACK LIVES MATTER. ACAB. CAPITALISM REINFORCES WHITE SUPREMACY. FIGHT FOR EQUALITY TO YOUR DYING BREATH.
These songs were recorded in March of 2020 in the weeks before we were all placed on quarantine with our friend Keanu. We decided to shelve the session and focus on recording more material and began working on the new EP that will be coming out later this year. However in light of everything that has been going on in our world we needed to do whatever we could, so we had The Tacoma Straight Edge's own Rusty X Baumeier mix and master these tracks so we could release something to contribute. These lyrics are all real, and deeply personal so. If you enjoy it, thank you, means the world to us. If you can afford to please throw a few dollars at bailproject.org via this demo.
