about

A good old Doot Doot for your ears.

This recording was made possible with many MANY thanks to the Daniel Kingsbury Foundation, who granted us the time and opportunity to record in studio.

lyrics

a fog was stuck in my spine, intertwined
engraved in your personality,
i find your sensitivity,
poor innocent boy,
we need to protect you,
from absolutely nothing
what's the point in wasting life if your
breathe is edging

not you,
you're only worth,
half of,
what you used to be,
I remember
shutting up,
for your sake,
poor innocent boy

your smoke fills up my lungs,
pull too hard on the leash,
it's all said and done but
I'm a better man than you'll ever be.

not you,
you're only worth
half of,
what you used to be
I remember,
shutting up
for your sake
poor innocent boy
