oh yes please
when i wake up shakin' at the knees
well you're so hard to reach

Animals eat
Animals under big painted blue skies
Itemize my receipt

don't you think that you have had enough?
no

never thought you could feel stuff
did you think that they would ever make you
statue
when they made you
did they say that they would never break you?
freight line

Animals eat
Animals under big painted blue skies

You ain't got nothing in your eye
See through the painted big blue sky
You ain't got nothing on your mind in particular
If I wait here
I'm just gonna die
I didn't think you would
sanitize
every circle-square you're in
you could try to set it down
be careful not to spill it all
honestly
I've been alright but now and then
now and then I spill out and cry
oh why
oh why
Had a shadow
Had a shadow
Then I had a light
I had a light
maybe I will stay inside
I'll stay inside another time
the air tonight is beautiful
it's beautiful
there ain't a reason or a rhyme
does it rhyme
or is it unconventional
you feel the need to stretch it out
but does it find the beat again
it does
You ain't got nothing in your eye
See through the painted big blue sky
You ain't got nothing on your mind in particular
If I wait here
I'm just gonna die
I didn't think you would
Had a shadow
Had a shadow
Then I had a light
I had a light
Bird let loose from it's cage in the night
Didn't know then If it knew how to fly
Got those wings better give it a try
This is the ready, Bird
This is the ripe
Let the fear ride
Flying through the air
Let the fear rumble

johnny lives in a TV set
but he don’t pick up his own channel yet
thinks somethings up
don’t know for sure
johnny needs a cure
johnny did drugs
thought that was it
now johnny’s put himself in debt
and johnny ain’t slowing down
running with the wrong crowd
yep
Johnny Ain't Right No More
johnny lives on a TV set
and he is aware
that is the star of the show but you bet
he’s getting paranoia scared
johnny’s in the middle of it all
johnny is a drama
johnny is delusional
johnny is improper
Johnny Ain't Right No More
johnny's changing gears to a lit cigarette
hasn't considered all possibilities yet
johnny's just sick of the stage prop setup
he's go wild if they'd let him
then he was comfortable
he had no mind at all
johnny won't go
johnny won't stay
johnny's not okay
Johnny Ain't Right No More
Johnny's a legend that's being going around good ole Johnnytown
Mythical man himself it sounds
Johnny got himself a crown
Johnny went down to the regular town
And he mowed em all down

Position of Influence

he wouldn't hurt a butterfly
but if the money was right
storyboard could not ensure the lights
many more before the present jumps into our sights
ya
careless
foundational merits
school never prepared us
for this particular test
at best it was a jest but I digress
I'm just stressed
I'm so stressed
I feel it deep in my chest
tugging tight
your lungs
scripted into siphons
one day you'll be cold as I was
you'll be the man of his hour
as you'll reign
from your tower
Yes sir
I'll do it
I would do anything
what's the cut
tell me
what is what
kill the morals
you're not a soul
you're a brain and a bag of meat and bones
The balance
The shifting and shaping
Of the careless and into-it's
Yes sir
I'll do anything
For a position of influence

Secret of the Days

Fire up the train
With no delay
The season is over today
Pull out a plate
If you want me to stay
You even put all the chairs away
Ain't no solution
When you're
Feeling confusing
Just breathe in the secret of the days
They're not here to stay
No need to panic
But alarm the TV stations
Of the situation
Address the public of the summer:
New high-score; a bummer.
Ain't no solution
When you're
feeling confusion
Just breathe in the secret of the days
Breathe breathe breathe...
Be blinded by the sun
Be untitled and up to the second
Be united
Be with someone you love
Get through it
Ain't no solution
When you're
Feeling confusion
Just breathe in the secret of the days
They're not here to stay
We can all agree
Up to the age of roughly three
Put on a suit you dress like shit
This isn't it
My suit is different
Oh what is meant for me
Some of us never see
There ain't no solution
When you're
Feeling confusion
Just breathe in the secret of the days
They're not here to stay

Act Normal South Carolina
Drummer/vocalist Zac Dehlbom, guitarist Skyler Cunningham, and bassist Rob MacPherson blend various flavors of rock music to produce a sound that is both precise and primal, sober and senseless, calculated and kaleidoscopic. Dance if you like. Mosh if you dare. Be yourself or act normal. ... more
