Abandoned Aquarium

by The Back Parking Lot

supported by

Popsnacking This is such a rad song! It reminds me of the time that I first started smoking cigarettes. It is clear in my memory because it was right before my 6th birthday because I got that badass voltron toy that year. I smoked them backward for two years, once I figured it out then it made more sense. It was also the same summer that we built the treehouse and lit that fucker Randy on fire. I can still hear his screams, and I just laugh and laugh. Great track!!!

The Back Parking Lot speaks, results may vary

lyrics

I was baptized in a digital river
I took advantage of a sign that said free door
I won’t be bound by the ordinary obvious
I’ll stitch a future out of solitary stones

The trick is in the tacking, the test runs are stacking up
And now everything looks like a nail
Tale of the true believer who tried to see the seer
Bent the angle to a bend once more

Take a seat at the abandoned aquarium
Reichstag fire the abandoned aquarium
Which side are we on of the abandoned aquarium
It heard itself, it heard itself once more

Now I’m weak upon standing, I’m left without a landing
A flashlight with very low batteries
At ease please me please
Sounds like time
Death by a thousand cuts
Throwing stars at the optical infinity
