lyrics
“Leaves are brown”
“Sky is grey”
And I’m a thousand miles away
“I’d be safe”
“I’d be warm”
My head changes everyday
I’m not dreaming,
This is real to me
Take me back to Sunken City
Take me back to the sunshine state
Leaving town was a mistake
Always sick of home
Always home sick
Working paycheck to paycheck
Just to pay the rent
My soul is parched
The coast soothes this thirst
I’m a slave to the curse and it’s getting worse
California Cursed
I was born here
I’ll die here
Until that day, this is where I’ll be
This state has swallowed me whole
Suck me down and set me free
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
