Life and Death on the Sea

from Listen, That's Disco! by American Lies

  • Buy the Full Digital Album

  • Buy the record on vinyl! (12" w/ screen printed B-side)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    On íMuy Autentico Records!, Way Out West Recs, and Mouse House Records, this EP is on one-sided 12" vinyl and has a screen-printed B-side. The first press is limited to just 300 records (there are very few left). All vinyl comes with a free download code, but since you're here you probably already downloaded it. I suppose it's more about principle at this point, right? All the records are screen-printed by hand, using home-mixed ink, so there may be a slight variation in ink color between records. They won't look crappy though, I promise.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Listen, That's Disco! via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

This whole sea is a ghost town,
the life had left long ago.
We could have never had been here
and not a soul would have known.
When the waves become unrelenting
and the pangs of hunger strike in,
the scale tips in the favor
of going for a swim.
I can see lighting in the rain.
I see the ship and
it is going down the drain,
and it's depressing to know
it all will wash away.
But that's all right,
I know we mattered anyway.
I still have the splinters in my knees
from too many nights of humility
spent praying to God knows who,
from God knows where, for God to do
something to ease my mind
in wayward times and
give me a purpose to this life.
What are we giving ourselves to
more than a shark-infested tomb.
I'll miss the rough and stormy air.
I'll miss daydreaming
that a life existed where
the ocean had no beaches
and just went on, and on, and on.
But that's all right, I know they might
once we're all gone.
This was a lost cause,
the ship was bound to drown
to the ocean floor.
