lyrics

land full of zombies and no one's fighting to get out of it
is it because they can't or because they won't
and no one's fighting to come back and tell the whole world
what really happens...

it was on the 29th that they poured me into the ground
and I was crying and yelling to all of them
as I grew up toward the sun, but no one could hear me.
no, no one could hear me.

and ever since that day, I've been fighting to reach the world
cause I know what really happens when your candle burns out.
they tried to bribe me with golden streets and pearly gates,
when all I wanted was to have my family back.

oh, hell is being without those that I love.

it was on the 29th that they poured me into the ground
and I was crying and yelling to all of them
as I grew up toward the sun, but no one could hear me.
no, no one could hear me.
no, no one.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
