Breakdown coming, cause we’re outta control and we’re losing our minds
Backroads racing but the bridge is out and we’re on the redline
Got a one-way ticket, for the ride of our lives to the end line.
But there is something missing, get a whiff of love but it’s never the right kind
We’ve been living on lies so long, everything they say sounds like the truth.
We’ve been living on lies so long, everything they say sounds like the truth.
“Pay no attention to what's behind the iron curtain,” it’s just the insecure OZ.
While the crew of the S.J.W. are out to sea forever lost
There's a devil lurking behind the iris of her pretty eyes
There’s a countdown running, she’s tryin’ to lock you down with what's between her thighs
Well excuse me, honey, are you offended because I might be right
Just a cis male talking, but you can't shout me down while I'm holding this mic.
You’ve been living on lies so long, everything I say sounds like the truth.
You’ve been living on lies so long, everything I say sounds like the truth.
Living. On. Lies.

To the mother to the brother to the mister to the sister
To the beggar to the winner to the sinner to your sacrosanct faith
To the preacher to the teacher to the bullies who will beat us
To the overweight lovers that just wanna please us, do you think there's any chance?
That we can relate?
‘Cause we all wanna be smarter and just a bit taller wanna be a band of rockstars worshipped for our taste. Won’t you worship my taste?
It’ll never be enough, it’ll never really last, it’ll never be too tough, it’ll always kick your ass
It’ll never be right, it’ll never be wrong, this’ll never be anything than just another song
It’ll never be easy, it’ll never be kind, it’ll never be pleasing ‘cause it’s never the right size
This’ll never move an audience, cause it never works live, never ever will we be full from a slice of the American pie.
Now pull your phone back out and check it again, cause you could’ve heard back from a lover or a friend or got the latest new like about the latest new trend, be sure you're never behind…
On those famous deaths.
It’ll never be enough, it’ll never really last, it’ll never be too tough, it’ll always kick your ass
It’ll never be easy, it’ll never be kind, it’ll never be pleasing ‘cause it’s never the right size
This’ll never move an audience, cause it never works live, never ever will we be full from a slice of the American pie.
Are we ever gonna be… satisfied?
No, we’ll never ever gonna be... satisfied...
Will I ever be… satisfied?
No, I’m never ever gonna be... satisfied...
Quiet the mind and slow it down
Take a deep breath and feel the sound
Try to live in the moment, meditate
Whatever it is can surely wait
Not satisfied. Never satisfied.

Insufferable voices from the child within
Self-righteous worlds of words built to break us down so we forget to forgive
Take aim and fire blindly
At all the passive-aggressively never minding
Destiny’s my bitch, the most reliable one I know
Self-help holds you, hostage.
Staring down the barrel of a constant “what if?”
Opinions, they ain’t so different, well we sure as shit know every one of mine’s derivative
Sacrifice breeds destruction
Real work is what it takes to build a bullshit narrative
Six years in a tower made of concrete
Forty hours to make two shits to give
Only seven people come to bear witness to a show
Well, if you wanted more than that boy then you should’ve been…
Positive
Take aim and fire blindly
At all the passive-aggressively never minding
Destiny’s my bitch, the most reliable one I know
Well, you can’t say that boy, you gotta be, positive.

Bite the Hand

If opinions are like assholes, I’m the dog who wants to sniff them all
Stay up late analyzing all the network vitriol
Frustration with my nation the reasons are ethereal
OCD is just three letters but the words make nine syllables
They canonize the brands to fill all the open hands
Tip justice's scales, then they strip us all naked before setting bail
Pacings always racing, blood unusually thin
Appropriation is inflating economical sins
Well it’s a white man’s game its one that even I don't wanna win
Bite the hand that feeds you may you never eat again
Bite the hand that feeds you, feel the adrenaline
Bite the hand the feeds you, an unusual stance
Stop preaching at us singer, we wanna dance, dance
We wanna dance, dance
Senators trying but outnumbered by lust
All these special interest lobbies they’re a vacuum of trust
Moral aptitude involves the tossing of stones
While our future bears the burden of congressional tomes
Well my ears are listening for the choir to sing of “change”
While the tongues of all us singers are only busy casting blame
Why do you just stand there…? Why do you just stand there…?
When you could, when you could, when you could dance, dance

Keep Up

Speak of peace, hide a club
Double talk, promise trust
Kiss and tell, lying love
Consume it all returning none
Tell yourself you can’t be wrong
Jury’s out, cause they’ve all been hung
Something is different
The outrage becoming brighter
Upon the sunshine of summer
Are the winds of November
Maybe we’ll make it with our heads buried in sand
But my guess is that it won’t be long before there’s blood upon our hands
Time is up, my selfish one
At the door, your bell is rung
Swinging clubs, here they come
Wars begun, come on boy “get some”
Revolution ain’t a song
No it’s a bad motherfucker and a gun
Sometimes I wish I could be the one
To bear the burden of a psycho’s fun
Maybe I’ll make it with my head buried in sand
But my guess is that it won’t be long before there’s blood upon these hands
Can’t keep up, can’t keep up, with it anymore x3
Can’t keep up, lettin’ hate just take its course

Herb & Jellyfish Seattle, Washington
Herb & Jellyfish is an original five member rock band from Seattle, WA. Formed in 2016 by Bradford King. Our sound is heavily influenced by the work of Muse and Morphine. Shredding guitar solos, ethereal sax riffs, big vocals, and complex bass runs make for an unusual rock experience. ... more
Herb & Jellyfish recommends:
Some of the best vocals I've heard in Seattle backed with a band that will melt your soul live. Badassery all around here.
