(Verse 1)
Hello.
I think we've made a really big mess of ourselves
but that's okay 'cause they'll clean it up.
And if you can't breathe, then neither could I.
Just hold your breath, kid, and you'll be fine.
You don't need to breathe our air;
you're only the future, how could you dare
to waste that oxygen reserved for us?
We bought that right while we burned your trust.
(Chorus)
Now that I know
when they fire the starting gun,
if you just take a step back
while the others all run,
You will have crossed the finish line
before the rest have even begun.
But then be honest with yourself,
have you really won?
(Verse 2)
Alright.
We think you've made a really big mess of yourself,
but that's okay 'cause we'll sweep you up.
And if you don't breathe, then neither should I.
We'll drown together, kid, and nothing is fine.
You don't need to breathe our air;
we've stolen your future, how could you dare
to ask for anything back from us?
We'll fuel that fire by burning your trust.
(Chorus)
Now that I know
when they fire the starting gun,
if you just take a step back
while the others all run,
You will have crossed the finish line
before the rest have even begun.
But then be honest with yourself,
have you really won?
(Bridge)
Alright runners,
get on your marks,
get set, and
GO!
*Breakdown*
(Chorus)
Now that I know
when they fire the starting gun,
if you just take a step back
while the others all run,
You will have crossed the finish line
before the rest have even begun.
But then be honest with yourself,
have you really won?
Here kitty, kitty! The synthwave genius returns with a whole new batch of hooky, metal-edged songs that are more fun than a ball of yarn. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2022
Cat Temper is back with another helping of searing synthwave; the song titles may be tongue-in-cheek, but the music is no joke. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 23, 2020
