lyrics

There's no purpose for me to look back with a longing heart and imagine altered decisions and the results they'd bring: the never ending list of variables teetering, toddering, falling down in patterns. Useless information. Brain-wave mutilation.

Emotional wellbeing becomes cannon fodder for impossible schemes. The past begs to be cradled and carried around through intoxicating dreams of what could be found or achieved with knowledge I forgot was not there during. Trying to outsmart hardship with impossible actions and reverse planning; it's bootless, doofus! I'm compelled to chase outdated options as if they were current.

These attempts to solve problems already rooted is fruitless, like chewing rock candy after you've become toothless, hoping for new flavor in gum once you've chewed it, pretending you should of known better than to choose this: it's insanity and to put myself through it is ruthless and stupid. I knew this! Why do I do this? Realign my mind with the present tense. I cannot be bound to represent expired time: chances I've already spent.

There's no purpose for me to live in a time that isn't now.

SWITCH OFF YOUR HEAD
by Shitty Life

supported by 4 fans who also own “Reaper Madness!”

Shitty Life has only been around for three years but are one of the hardest working bands in Italy. They released a packed demo in 2015, their self-titled LP in 2016 on Surfin’ Ki Records, worked with various labels including Goodbye Boozy and Spastic Fantastic to release four 7”s (one of which is a team-up with DD Owen of Sick Thoughts!) and their second LP in September- Switch Off Your Head. SL plays powerful punk rock with little to no distortion and intense, sometimes political vocals. Switch Off Your Head has that signature jump’n rock’n roll punk sound Shitty Life has come to be known for, sounding even cleaner and meaner. Favorite track- We’re Dead Red
