lyrics

Felt so useless tonight
used me up and now I’m useless

Left me here a shell
well hell, who wants a shell?

Made my statement
made my position clear,
then you dug me out and spit me out a shell.

And I can’t blame you
I could name you
Ch-ch-chances are you wouldn’t like that much.

So I silently drink you in your entirety
and still don’t have enough.

I don’t want to feel anything anymore
and that’s a good thing ‘cause I can’t.
All I wanna do is talk to you and not sound dumb
but I don’t stand a chance.

There’s nothing I can do
used me up and now I’m useless

Left me here to hold
onto the things you told me

and it’s not your fault, I built you up
and now you’re way too much to handle
to hold onto the things that

I don’t want to love about you anymore
and that’s a good thing ‘cause I can’t.
All I wanna do’s get over you but that’s just stupid
I don’t stand a chance

Ruined all my favorite songs
used them them up and now they’re useless

I played them all for you
but you were not receptive, just deceptive
in the way I thought you felt, I thought you were
well I thought wrong.
Thought I had you all along.

And I still want to try for you, try to push on through
and that’s a bad thing ‘cause I can’t.
Now those thoughts are useless
I used them up and drank them out and left me here a shell.

Well, hell, who wants a shell?

LUNG are back with a new album. You'll never believe that a band with just Cello, vocals and drums can sound so full. Propulsive, Heavy, tuneful and thoughtful. Incredible lyrics, powerful arrangements and songs that stick with you for long after you stop listening. The only problem is they have a very unique sound, which isn't always rewarded. I need you to trust me when I say that this is WELL worth your time and one of the best records of 2018. Bonus: a timely David Bowie cover. Conan Neutron
