lyrics
lay me down on a filthy bed, tell me it's all in my head
wash my hands with gasoline, light a match and flee the scene
pour the wine with arsenic, tell me it's the real shit
serve that soup with mercury, smile and say it's good for me
do it once, do it again, tell me you're my real friend
rewrite the rules, rig the game, tell me i'm the one to blame
put it in, pull it out, smile while i scream and shout
let it go while i bleed, smile and say it's good for me
in the dark, sing to me with your haunting melody
like a broken record on repeat, repetitive and incomplete
hold it too close and it'll choke into a heap of ash and smoke
or watch it die in your hands, don't try too hard to understand
they got mary, soon they'll be comin' to get me
on a cold night, in the moonlight, they're callin' my name
eyes closed, i know how all of this shit is bound to go
they're gonna put us all in chains
don't wear your heart on your sleeve
don't ever share what you believe
don't ever dare to disagree
don't wear your heart on your sleeve

The Absurd began as a folk rock collaboration between Ben & Josh. Ben's singer-songwriter artistic whims are expressed thusly herein.
Check out Ben's newest track, "The Thin Ice" The Absurd
supported by 8 fans who also own “Water Moccasin [Remaster]”
For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
