Through the static gammons
we could pull you out from
whatever swallowed you
don't get lost in the sound
all the withdrawal white noise
we know the symptoms
if you get scared on the other side
you can come back home

if things get too loud
and you're over it
you can come back to life
and return to the big quiet

we took the same shift
shoveling dirt
just to see which one of us
could get the other fired first
no i still don't know who won
i'm stuck digging up ground
have to watch it cover you
and get lost in the sound

if things get too loud
and you're over it
you can come back to life
just like i did
and return to the big quiet

wall of noises
split up into different voices
calling all kids
back to when they made their choices
when we repeat this or should the other side decide to quit
or you're over it
can i just come with
return to the big quiet

In Love With The Wrong Girl

Caroline
What the hell you thinking
Met the giant
Beneath where Sunny’s sleeping
You can try to hide it but we all know people change
Paint old masks on new faces until they look the same

No glamour in this second wind
You adjusted to the new
No glamour in this second wind
You are just the things you do

Caroline
Where is this all headed
Bed the giant
Where and when you get it 
You can try to hide it but we all know it’s the truth
Recreate the trauma so that Sunny has it too

No glamour in this second wind
You adjusted to the new
No glamour in this second wind
You are just things you do

Carolina Carolina Carolina blue
Can’t rely on can’t rely on can’t rely on you
Carolina Carolina Carolina blue
Not too late for not too late for not too late for you

No glamour in this second wind
You adjusted to the new
No glamour in this second wind
You are just things you do

The Giant

A lot has happened for The Dead Ships in the last couple of years. They became the most talked-about live show in L.A., picked up airplay on KROQ, were hand-picked by Goldenvoice to perform at Coachella 2016 and LA WEEKLY named them the city's best band. Their latest album, CITYCIDE, produced by Broken Social Scene’s Brendan Canning, tackled subjects like fascism coming back in fashion, fake news, the Soviet resurgence, suicide and the death of American cities, months and months before this orange asshole got nominated, let alone elected. The Dead Ships write good songs and play their balls off.
