lyrics

Teach me what to say,
get high and hide away.
Shuttering the rage,
kitchen jokes and double plays.

The wall was built, we'll carry that guilt
'til our dying day.
The vanities and charities
still made sense to me.

Tomorrow, go to work;
pretened I barely know you
'til thursday blooms and we resume
this rail-carting masquerade.

But I can't stand sitting next to you,
pretending that I want it, too,
while the mean old men are messing with your mind.
Pulled ahead while you get left behind.

There's a little bird in my head
that pecks and brutalizes non-believers.
This culture's kept us cooped and locked away.
I deface it every day,
rattling my cage.

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 6 fans who also own “Birds”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
