I wrote the verse to this two days ago and couldnt figure out a chorus. Finally this morning i just forced myself to write the rest. It's a quasi-sequel to koalapocalypse (a.k.a. "just like akira")

[lyrics: The armadillos, hawks and owls up in the willows curve their mouths/The squids and sparrows, their eyes narrowing, ingesting heroin/the flying monkeys and the hoards of dying junkies in the cracks/the crackheads, twackheads, smack their heads against the asphault paint red on black/somewhere walt whitman yawps but no one hears, cause there's no hashtag there/Scared little hitmen fire shots into the dark, so unaware/and armadillos hugging pillows, stealing pies from window sils/They swallow pills and stuff their gils like cartoon cats drinking clearasil///chorus: how is it we can prevail through this?/ in this twisted world of pride and selfishness/of lies and violence, guilt and shame, the awkward silence, broken vows, we choke on cows, and even when you win you seem to lose///Behold the psychopaths, they sell us gas and GEICO to save cash/we dine on the flesh of lower beasts, while dynasties dine out on our ass/Undo deception and denial and rationalization/undo the doom and television broadcast feeding us all cartoons/For all the progress, the invention, technology and the like/man still remains in infancy, a screaming three year old on a trike./The gods look down on us and watch as we build towers to the sky/then watch them tumble and we humble and they crack up until they cry///repeat first chorus///they want you to/play by their rules/day care soccer/day camp highschool/college if you/can pay your dues/if not then trade school/shut up be cool/think right cast votes/pay tax dont smoke/coffee alcohol/zoloft secenol/dont trip dont think/old spice dont stink/dont look shut the door/i don't want to be here anymore.]

KOALA has been making d.i.y. bedroom outsider lo-fi anti folk punk since 2003, but due to mental illness and drug addiction he lost his focus and nothing ever came of it. After sobering up and regaining a degree of sanity, he began writing and recording again in the fall of 2015. 
K0ALA was raised in Los Angeles and grew up in the punk rock and hardcore scene, moving into indie and noise rock in his young adulthood. Influences are taken from punk and hardcore, from indie folk and indie rock, from noise rock, from outsider, from folk punk, from early americana-roots, from folk and country, from alt. country and antifolk, even from the lyricism of hip hop (i.e. wu tang clan, del the funky homosapien, asher roth, el-p).

KOALA has long aimed to cultivate the chaos and urgency in his own life and capture it in his songs (whether he has failed at this or not is up to you). Noise, fuzz, overdrive, feedback, off key vocals, detuned guitars, cheap recording equipment, and of course chain smoking cheap cigarettes all add up to make the fucking mess that is KOALA?! AND THE K-HOLES
