lyrics

Choke Parade
(for all of our fellow working musicians & to the families who have supported our goals. )

Barely noticed puberty as hair grew subtly onto my virgin flesh,
permanently burning away at my baby fat chest.
"Ceschi the stretch marks from when you were 16 are still there to tell you that you're going nowhere…
fast at least...
no masterpiece will last a week
while giants and dragons jump onto the canvas sheet.
How you gonna prove you're not another sucker with a dream
living under your Grandpa's roof in a room with your brother."
All of us want to be someone better
until the moment when the ominous comes
and jumps stomps on our festival.
It's a fucking rainy day,
plain and gray
in Connecticut waiting for a saving grace
to take us away
and it's just

One Quick Moment For The Parade To Arrive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky
One Quick Moment For The Parade To Arrive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky

Helium filled monstrosities wave in the wind above a cheering crowd
that's tearing down our city
simply with the blaring sound
of OOOHS and AHHHS
and huge applause
as people scurry to catch a glimpse of balloons in fog.
Everybody in LA was looking for a lucky break
but all I really wanted was to get out of that fucking place.
I never wanted to be that big blimp in a parade
that just sits in deep haze
waiting for the day that it deflates.

One Quick Moment Till The Parade Comes Alive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky
One Quick Moment Till The Parade Comes Alive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky

Then we'll chuckle in sync
like after Snarf jokes on Thundercats episodes.
We'll reminisce about bullshit we walked through on this wretched road.
It was a mess, I know.
Tough to pass the test of growth
but we never let those foes
question our endless sense of hope.
This is a song for all my friends trying to live off music.
A song for my people who are told every day that they'll never do it.
Even though we'll all wind up in space under graves,
at least we kept our legs strong moving along the whole way.

Wait One Moment for The Parade To Arrive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky
Wait One Moment for The Parade To Arrive
In Just One Moment All The Floats Will Choke The Sky
