about

Tom wrote it in 2015. Here's a 2021 demo / video as the band was just coalescing, but with 'One Take' Blake Parton on drums instead of Doug.

lyrics

you are a barrel of oil
walking around with your head on fire
i am burning blackly just like
you -- just like you
we, we are two dark stars
that shine in the sign of the trust fund kid
we are the sound of the ox -y -gen
leaving the room

o dark star; shine bright while you still can
o dark star
o dark star; the world breaks in your hand
o dark star

you are a bag of syringes
caught in the fence by a landfill site
i am all sharps and hollows
lost beside you there.
we, we are two failed fledglings
pushed from the nest of the trust fund kid
we are the sound of everything
that fails to bloom
