The Boy Who Never Lost

One of our oldest songs, paired with (at the time) two new tracks written right before we hit the studio. We were still very much figuring out our sound at the time of recording; there's a disjointed enthusiasm to the song structure, recording, and sequencing that perfectly captures who we were at the time... and probably still are now.

*Time to Go*

You know it's easy to see
Why you just followed me
But then it's hard to say
Why people go that way
The drum was beating fast
So fast and louder still
You kept beating the drum, 'til it was time to kill.

Wind me up
Away I go
Mushroom cloud
Steal the show
I didn't know
What I now know
The time is near...
... it's time to go.

Confused and blind to see
What i could have seen easily
I can't say it's all that bad
Maybe you didn't lie to me?
It's the power it's the rush
Crushing bones and piercing sounds
If you're always looking up
You might be headed down

So important in your mind
That shit we had to find
But it was never there
And in the end who fucking cared?
We did the best we could
Fought the the "real enemy"
You walked away from it
But, hey, thanks for sending me


*I'm Alright*
I'm Ok
I'm Alright
Cuz no one seems to know I'm not in control
The mask fits tight

I'm alright?
I'm all, right?
I'm alright.
I'm not ... alright.

*The Boy Who Never Lost*

I wanna be more than me
Be more than I can see
See myself as the one...
... the boy who never lost.

But then who really cares?
Who gives a shit?
There's no need to think
Or try to understand it

It happened so quick to my face
A fist cut through the air
All I remember was the taste
Of being put in my place...

I want the joke
I'll take it
I want the fun
Now shake it
Give it up now
Time to live now

When i was a kid, around 8 years old
I heard a sound, but there was no one around
Started soft, then it got so loud...
... it got so loud it filled my head.
