I'm living in a small house (black night) And no one's gonna bail me out (black night) My meals come from the landfill (black night) And my water from the oil spill (black night) You can buy the laser face (black night) Pay the workers half the living wage (black night) You've left me with no choice now (black night) I'll get you with my dealer's knife On a black night The people will not take this (black knight) Your excess reeks of hatred (black knight) The way you sneer won't shake me (black knight) I'll get you with my numbers knife Black knight, baby I caught you, baby Slow dancing in the dark, baby Never get enough, baby Leave me in the dust, baby Ha, you think you're tough, baby Here to crush your kingdom, baby On a black night

Ob-long He's drinking for the fourth night in a row I watch him sinking further in the floor Ob-long He's thinking: 'Somewhere in the basement I'm alone' Ob-long Ob-long Ob-long Ob-long What's wrong? Ob-long What's wrong? Ob-long He's stressing Stretching himself out A match and a lighter Ob-long He's wretching Pulling at the strings inside his soul Ob-long Ob-long Ob-long Ob-long Ob-long Ob- Ob-long Ob-long What's wrong? Ob-long What's wrong? (Ob-long) I miss you God I miss you I need you to come home (Ob-long) I hate you God I hate you But we can work it out (Ob-long) Ob-long Ob-long (Ob-long) What's wrong? What's wrong? (What's wrong?)

I might never leave here Cocoon full of warm fear Can we go on a run? Powdered nose for fun Party’s started, come now Passin’ out on the couch We need more spotty cows Hand me that pipe When cells deteriorate The mind begins to fade They’ve become so irate Over life’s sharpest blade Did you bring the rock, dear? Cindy’s got the good deal Your skin’s starting to peel Pack it, pack it again When cells deteriorate My mind begins to fade I’ve become so irate Over life’s sharpest blade Someone call for help, please I think we’ve got an OD Look at her pupil’s size Fly, ambulance, fly! Look, here come the cops now Flush it if you need to That was a close one, jeez Now where were we?

I’m not obsessed Maybe I am upset But who really knows? Climb under the fence Like a trap that’s been set Like a dragon bone, woah You’re not in the way You’re just fallin’ over Got a pull yourself together, baby Listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, oh Dragon bone Dragon bone Dragon bone I’m not obsessed Maybe I am upset But who really knows? Climb under the fence Like a trap that’s been set Like a dragon bone, woah You’re not in the way You’re just fallin’ over Got a pull yourself together, baby Listen to me, listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, oh Dragon bone Dragon bone Dragon bone

I will die In the middle of a rat race The cruelest guy Born on this place The evening sky Is it all a waste? They will decide The purpose is erased I will die In the middle of a rat race The cruelest guy Just say it to my face Is it okay That I lie to your face? ‘Cuz every chance I get, I will take What do you say? What do you mean? What do you say? What do you mean? What do you say? What do you mean? Rat race Rat race Rat race Rat race Rat race Rat race Rat race Rat race

Why do I feel like I'm lying Every time I open my mouth? Sitting in a chair in the back yard In the middle of the night I know I'm guilty of every crime You don't need to remind me I'm the king of wasting time Why do I feel so ungrateful for nothing and everything? I am unaligned I'm not the person that I used to be I am still only young Can't wait to see what this life has left for me Why do I feel like I'm lying Every time I open my mouth? Sitting in a chair in the back yard In the middle of the night You say it's alright You say it's all fine, but I know And I'm so sick of trying to write I guess this is the life for me Feeling sick with bags under my eyes (Oh, you know) Why do I feel like I'm lying Every time I open my mouth? Sitting in a chair in the back yard In the middle of the night You say it's alright You say it's all fine, but I know

lyrics

One more year of hanging around Eating and sleeping around I’ve been 18 years rolling over 18 with a bastard smile One more year of hanging around Eating and forcing out The sound of my voice when there’s no one around To hear me but the bastard’s child I’m out of ideas I’m unignited I’m so divided I’m so misguided Show me what I said on video again I’m tripping, feeling my way around Tripping and hoping that I’ll fall down and out And hoping that I’ll find something out That’ll keep me from rolling over I’m out of ideas I’m ceremonial I’m so one-sided I wish I was colonial Show me what I said on video again And just this once I thought I’d face my fears Walk around town just to pass by the years Talk to a person I’d never talked to before Just to see what it is I’d feel And I’m trying hard just to recognize My mother’s face in the autumn pile And I’m driving far just to get back home But I’m still in bed, and I’m still alone

Forever is a word You used to use a lot You'd whisper in my ear "My dear I'm yours" But now I've lost my way I lay in bed all day In vain attempts at forgetting your name And every time I see you I worry when I won't And every time I see you I worry when I won't anymore The months blur into one Revolving 'round the sun I shower less My room's a mess I'm tired all the time because Forever's just a sound You like to throw around I'm hangin' on your every breath I live for when I'll see you next Inert for all I'm worth until my death And every time I see you I worry when I won't And every time I see you I worry when I won't

Married at eighteen Bought a modest house Worked in the machine Began to hate his spouse Together had a child Divorce a next step Une femme he beguiled Oh for weeks he wept He turned to the drink A home had he not I sat; watched him sink His mind seemed to rot Beheld his final breath Guided him through death I mean no harm All dressed in black I do my job I cannot slack Please do not beg And do not cry Their fates are sealed I’m your ally I’ll take good care They’re safe with me The afterlife Is good, you’ll see This angel’s life Is hard enough It’s all I have My work is tough Never knew the dad Was a one night stand Not even a grad Received not one hand Worked nine to seven Couldn’t grant her son Believed in heaven A much better one Couldn’t take much more So she swallowed her pills Fell down to the floor As her kid felt chills Beheld her final breath Guided her through death I mean no harm All dressed in black I do my job I cannot slack Please do not beg And do not cry Their fates are sealed I’m your ally I’ll take good care They’re safe with me The afterlife Is good, you’ll see This angel’s life Is hard enough It’s all I have My work is tough

Once again I’m waist deep In the dream of a city I call home Once again I’m wasted Slurring my words on the phone After tonight I will write off all these fucking debts Make myself a new life After tonight I’ll decide if you were worth my time, and After tonight I’ll forget about those fucks you slept with You weren’t worth my time But I’m off to the brew city, baby, oh I’ll find my own way home And I don’t need nobody to save me, oh Movin’ to the city on my own And I don’t need you to be my savior But you’re gonna need one soon Fuck off with your pretty papers Signed by the devil himself After tonight you won’t wake up with a sense of pride And I’m off to the brew city, baby, oh I’ll find my own way home And I don’t need nobody to save me Movin’ to the city on my own I won’t forgive and forget I will live and you’ll regret I won’t forgive and forget I will live and you’ll regret I won’t forgive and forget I will live and you’ll regret I won’t forgive and forget I won’t forgive and forget

about

Wake Up With A Sense Of Pride was self-produced primarily by Sam, Marcie, Samwise, and Chai in the years following high school. The album finds the band in an uncertain place, a place of change and turmoil. Halfway through writing the album, the band members moved from their respective homes in West Bend and Madison to Milwaukee, where they fully fleshed-out and recorded the project. The multiple moves, fluctuating band personnel, and the altering of the final track list delayed the album's release significantly. Recording and mixing the record across a changing cast of attics, basements, and bedrooms also posed its challenges. The sound of the final product is the result of this turmoil. Songs about loss, change, the vices of the adult world, and questioning self identity show the struggles and fears of four losers from rural Wisconsin facing real life for the first time. The album's noisier and heavier sound reflects the Milwaukee indie scene that it was completed on. Each song was written and recorded in a slightly different place and time, creating a distinct difference between tracks. The last track of the album, No Forgives, although it is a story of spite and exasperation, also puts a positive and empowering spin on the band's move to Milwaukee and the transition to a new life for every member, turning a project fraught with conflict and inconsistency into a piece of work they can be proud of.

The band dedicates this album to their collective sanity lost.
