lyrics

SIDE A

there's no natural reason that I had to give
my spirit started running like I couldn't live
RE-CALL, lay low
RE-CALL, lay low
up for three nights already
ALL INCARNATIONS UNDER PRESSURE

SIDE B
and I know a bullet is the answer
question is who's the first that's gonna fire?
a life of promise until he got arrested
a poem recited that he didn't know rest of
hack into an atm,
watch the money free me


THIS IS THE PROCESS, DON'T WORRY

HELLO, SHADOWS
ALONE, GO ON

FEAR IS THE QUESTION, HOW WILL YOU ANSWER
IT'S YOUR LIFE, SO DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO COMMITTIE

HELLO, SHADOWS
ALONE, GO ON
HOWL ON

SIDE A

hey baby you don't understand that when I, when I say that
of course, don't push
we're sitting here drunk and everybody's talking shit
I hear every conversation: SINE QUA NON
and I hated the fact that
I had to, you know,
it's just one of things
I couldn't really explain it


SIDE B

then again I only come back to real world
to confront the vacancy of sanity
and subtle dogma
so how you gon' just
how you gonna tell me?
There's a million reasons why I do the things I do
I don't really think about it that much I just try to
HA HA ... laugh

THIS IS THE PROCESS, DON'T WORRY

world is a stage, sir
I'm playing my character
only thing I'm guilty of
is over committing

HELLO, ALONE
HOLLOW, ALONE
SHINE ON, BRIGHTLY
GO ON
HOWL ON

IF FEAR IS THE QUESTION, HOW WILL YOU ANSWER
IT'S YOUR LIFE, DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO COMMITTIE

The Vivids Los Angeles, California

The Vivids are an LA post-punk band consisting of Sim Jackson (vocals), Brenden Snyder (guitar),Manya Koolzemchenko
(bass), and Gustov Mentzer (drums). Their album is called “999&13,” a moody
and raw exploration of self-destruction and self-renewal shot through with spacey, bright guitars, sharply
observant lyrics, and propulsive drumming that’s anyt​hing but lo-fi.“ ... more
