lyrics

it's a dark comedy when your trauma qualifies you
to preach empathy for a congregation who hates you
you leave the service to a rough commute
a family who can't stop questioning your truth
suddenly the sermon evades you
in-between exhales and screams of your dark comedy

it's a dark comedy when your favorite kind of drama
is hereditarily linked to all that harms ya
you make love to your neighbor between whips and chains
promise her that you will see her again
suddenly the sermon surrounds ya
in-between exhales and screams of your dark comedy

dark comedy
tells you to take a goddamn break to savor
dark comedy
will she get paid for emotional labor?
paper mache made from divorce papers
punchlines to help raid your true behavior
I can't take more "Crashing"
I need me some more dark comedies

dark comedy
tells you to take a goddamn break to savor
dark comedy
will she get paid for emotional labor?
paper mache made from divorce papers
punchlines to help raid your true behavior
sew up your songs with the suture god gave ya
I need me some more dark comedies
I can’t laugh to nothin’ no more but these dark comedies

Kaleidoscope Drive
by Krissanthemum

Official SB Band Associate™ Krissy Lassiter is an incredible composer. Her music is like if mid-2000's The Flaming Lips had a superb vocalist. Also! We're lucky to have her on "Cold War Love Song." Sailor Boyfriend

Restless
by Crazy Pills

The power poppy Crazy Pills consist of some of the nicest human beings in the whole of this crazy, windy apple paradise island called "New York City." Andy loves "Wedding Rings" with all his heart. Sailor Boyfriend

Leash
by Little Hag

Avery is full of wit and heart. These songs keenly explore the tension between those two feelings through explosive hooks, heavy ballads, and a more-than-ample band to back her up. Pure fire, baby! Sailor Boyfriend
