lyrics

in the back of a mexican bus
i keep track of my feelings of trust
look outside and pretend that im home
starve all day eat a lizard and toad

gonna get back to the way that things were
gonna make a pact with the bugs and the dirt
gotta show the world just how wrong that they were
gotta spread the message of hell, heaven and earth

been a while since i brushed my teeth
makes it hard to forget what i eat
motions waves and the image of girls
livin in a terrible sun stroke world

yes im up what does everyone need
yes im up how can this mitchell please
want me to forget the actions of god?
want me to forget the embrace of mom?

OK
sweat drippin in my eyes
OK
light burns up my sky
OK
that my climb is high
OK
if my skins on fire

please dont let me cry right now
please dont let me fry right now
please dont let me die right now
please dont let me die right now

when i walk in, i see you there and i know that you are mine.
but i back down out of fear.
cause i dont know what you like.
and i dont know what youll say, but im gonna try.
im gonna try again

I WANNA BET

and all hail mexico
THIS WHOLE TOWN

youre not missin much
I WANNA LET
youre missin out
CHANGE COME AROUND
hail yes and no
I WONT LET GO
and all hail mexico
I LOVE MEXICO

(screams are secrets you'll never know)

I met these lovely people one weekend, and shortly after heard they were putting together some music. Since then, I've watched their progress through social media and can't wait to go back to Minneapolis and see them live myself! Makayla Chandler
