lyrics

It’s late, too late for me to be awake, but my vaca state stays steady
And though I hate to related to a convoluted place in this case it’s Californ-i-a
‘Cause they know how to glimmer in the lime light
But I’m told they’re all alike

Oh oh ohh
Garish, golden hot, no molten
Sought by those who love atrocious things
Namely me
Cheapened by religious bigots
Twins and triplet bought in quantity
A shining star of irresponsibility

Ohhh what a lovely plight
Such a selfish sight to see, debauchery
All packaged up and priced
Nice to own the rights you see, speaking monetarily

They sell the biggest, bestest, most salacious
bloated in a corpse of tasteless scenes
And families
Hitting every target marketing departments’ got this lock and key
And everybody’s tryin’ to Wieden Kennedy

It’s a dog and pony tryptic
The tease and trite and taunt
Repetitious if you missed it
Something’s always on so
Succumb to incomes, the wisdom of sums
Yes what money makes
Has no mistake
And regulates
Our human nature

Ohhh what a lovely plight
Such a selfish sight to see, debauchery
All packaged up and priced
Nice to own the rights you see, speaking monetarily

Pirate it or press your buttons
Piously corrupt
Makes the perfect
Prerecorded
Plaster cast
And well exported
Old deported-
-ly important
Press in plague proportion
Incapaci-
-tated pasts
Explained from one presumption
But l'm prolly old
Just pissin' prose
So pardon me
I'm sleep
De-
-praved

‘Cause it’s late
Too late
For me to be awake

about

Grey for Days Portland, Oregon

Grey for Days lyrically gurgitates emotion while flirting with the rules of music and performance. Composed of 6 members, Grey have a sound that has been compared to everything from Adele to Dresden Dolls. With layers foggy brass, voluptuous keys, alchemic rhythms, smoove bass, and smoky vocals, their music refracts thoughtful chaos. Their captivated audiences can’t help, but to be seduced. ... more
