I picked a scab while I watched your show
Not cos it was boring, just cos I was bored
Of edgy boys all dressed up
Singing about how I'm oppressed
But you don't know how much you don't know
No more heroes
Today or tomorrow
Rebrand, repackage, repent
To distance the art from the scene of the crime
And the stain on my scene
Abandon nuance for the sake of impact
It's short hand, a stand in for
Something true
Sand down sophistication for a trite interpretation
Of what it means to be me
According to you
Tomorrow they'll be gone
So buy the tea towel
Now
Strip the song to the skeleton
Who is underneath?
Cut the head off the hydra
We'll salt the earth where you grow
SALT THE EARTH WHERE YOU GROW
Just cos he says it doesn't mean that he knows you
Just cos he's read it doesn't mean that he'll show you
What makes a man beyond some skin and some water
What makes a man beyond some skin and some water
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene
Build your own scene

Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
supported by 5 fans who also own “Build Your Own Scene”
In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
