Operation Shut The Hell Up

from ISH? by Al Murb

/

lyrics

It starts out innocently enough.
The vessels that gifted existence want to meet up and light up.
Maybe now I see where we got the lust for mischief from.

Tearing open cardboard like a hopped up hyena
And turning every shoebox into a case for every terrible idea that we had
Except for the big one.
That’d even be a struggle for Babe The Blue Ox’s big lonesome best friend.

Push it all off track.
And learn the ins and outs of every knack we haven’t built up yet
In fact, we’re currently working on it.
What the hell do you think we’re doing in here?

Split open face with a squared off metal shovel
Lying about front flips gone wrong
So we avoided too much trouble.

Split open face from the wand that grants you total shame
An innocent game at the time?
It turns out absolutely not.

This sticks with you on every front
No matter how far you push it down inside.
No lie, I’m sure it’s had its way with me.

The unforgettable sight of stumbling down the blacktop
But the heat waves rose up
And my brain’s brand finally started to show up.
Burned up.

I tell myself to shut up.
Grow up.
Maybe I’ll grow out of it.
Grew I did on the outside
But once again I would be lying
If I said the brand will heal.

Once again, no lie
Numb for years but somehow, sometimes
If you prod it you can kind of feel.
