lyrics

I gutted my VCR just to see what was inside
All the wires and the buttons intertwined carefully
Melted into the carpet lining

I played my little guitar with my shoelaces on fire
It's getting harder to breathe
Are we sure oxygen is flowing up the wire?

Can't you see what I've done?
Lean in closer
You just wonder if I am gonna hurt someone

Shoved a needle up my nose just to see what you would say
It was the plunger's end, all the insulin depleted it's nonexistence again
Found your teeth halfway down my throat
By that hallway up the road
Where we picked rotten berries and kissed on the mouth
After that rusty string band show

Don't wanna see what you've done
My eyes deceive me
And you just wonder if I am gonna hurt someone

TV's dead - I forgot who had said
It's time for another video killed the radio-type song again

Poured my coffee in a mason jar and it shattered all over the floor
What possessed me mom? I'm not sure why
It's all part of my interior design
I'm just a little kid trapped in this mishapen body
Granted with a chance and a small megaphone
Who's next in line to deny me?

Can't you see this isn't fun?
Erase the fever
And you just wonder if I am gonna hurt someone

TV's dead - I forgot who had said
It's time for another video killed the radio-type song again
TV's dead - I forgot who had said
It's time for another video killed the radio-type song again

I gutted my VCR just to see what was inside
All the wires and the buttons intertwined carefully
Melted into the carpet lining

The Paint Splats Dayton, Ohio

An unhealthy blend of power pop melodies that grew up listening to garage rock and the man shouting obscenities from the comfort of a street corner.
