about

Hailing from the darkest cornfields of Pennsylvania, legendary vocalist PHIL ZEO delivers fire, fury, and heartbreak on this track critics have described as "astounding", "absolutely monu-MENTAL", and "vaguely midwestern".
The strikingly original riffwork of virtuoso ukulele maestro NICK LEONARD tells the story of being left on read by that one girl with the zebra-striped hair who's always going on about Invader Zim or something, but she was definitely the one for at least a couple weeks.
Put on your sister's best jeans and strap in for this viral myspace sensation and go back to the good old days of 2006.

lyrics

Go!

You stabbed my heart
Your Myspace profile's etched into my mind
My tears are endless, like an ocean of grief
Your love eviscerated my guts
Like a tree falling in the woods

You played my heartstrings like a fiddle
But all I'm left with is a riddle

All those wasted days in the squat rack
Curling for you
You turned my pain into rage
I'm crying out for you in the
Chamber of my pain
(Chamber of my pain)

I shared my pizza rolls with you
(I shared my pizza rolls)
But you betrayed me
But you betrayed me

Like a tree falling in the woods

You played my heartstrings like a fiddle
But all I'm left with is a riddle
The joker really speaks to me
We live in a society

My throat is as tight as
My jeans
You fit me like my
Black vans

I'm drowning in the water
Your indifference is an anchor

Like a tree falling in the woods
No one hears me

I swore a vow of silence
But my demons won't stop talking
I swore a vow of silence
But my demons won't stop talking

You played my heartstrings like a fiddle
But all I'm left with is a riddle
The joker really speaks to me
We live in a society
You played my heartstrings like a fiddle
But all I'm left with is a riddle
The joker really speaks to me
We live in a society

Woo!
(We live in a society)
