	One foot in Cali and one in the car Gonna be a rockstar Got no job, got no money, I’ve made it this far Good God, save me Jesus, you’re trying too hard Ninety-nine degrees in the human bazaar Check the doppler radar There’s no rain for the moment, but don’t go too far I’ve got bottled water in the back seat of my Jaguar A healthy dose of pleasure Synthesized, but it will do the trick, you’d never know The City of the Flies Caught in the most peculiar web of lies you’ve ever known I’ll pose the question Would it be so wrong To settle down on the verge of independence? Would it be so wrong To save face in the face of all this opposition? Would it be so wrong To sit one out, and get shuffled in the wheel? Would it be so wrong To die young, if by ninety-nine I’ve done fuckall? Saving it for later or for all I can stand Got the doorknob in my hand Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, I walked in the room Good God, save me Jesus, a little too soon Resting my head after hours of trying You wouldn’t believe it, the death I’ve been dying But I found a proxy, a dramatization It’s not what I live for, but it’s consolation The City of the Flies Caught in the most peculiar web of lies you’ve ever known I’ll pose the question Would it be so wrong To settle down on the verge of independence? Would it be so wrong To save face in the face of all this opposition? Would it be so wrong To sit one out, and get shuffled in the wheel? Would it be so wrong To die young, if by ninety-nine I’ve done fuckall? Would it be so wrong to join a cover band? And rest my head on someone else’s songs? (But let me tell ya you’ll make a lot of money) City’s full of spiders And pitcher plants so sweet Drink a little nectar friend You’ll never leave Would it be so wrong To settle down on the verge of independence? Would it be so wrong To save face in the face of all this opposition? Would it be so wrong To sit one out, and get shuffled in the wheel? Would it be so wrong To die young, if by ninety-nine I’ve done fuckall?

about

In a culture where one's merit is based solely on how much money they can make, you waste away at an unfulfilling job, and then you die.

My first song is about my struggle with procrastination, capitalism, and the endless dopamine drip the internet provides. I started writing the song after a brush with death in a car accident in 2016. Originally a metal song, I reworked it into a indie-pop song for my first release.
