lyrics

Beyond our unpronounced mutual understanding
of the presence and prospect of the give human entity
Acute perception of intentions
Auditorily incommunicable
but for invisible sense antennae x3
but for invisible sex

We want to be your friends
but you are so haughty and you are
irresponsible unreceptive and closed to open doors
If we only could be there when you were born

There are codes between swans and tigers
It's communication what we do
and though you may not be aware of it
it has an indirect effect on you
Oh but you and your opposable thumbs
and your great goddamned big brain capacity too
makes me feel like I'm on the run
and it freaks me out to be with you

We want to be your friends
but you are so haughty and you are
irresponsible unreceptive and closed to open doors
If we only could be there when you were born

I am a human being and I am king
so all you furry fuckers bow
then become food and bring yourselves to me
or I'll be forced to show you how

Ever since I was a little kid
I have had nothing but disdain
Yeah there ain't nothing I can learn from you
Don't even want to cause you pain

You think you're cool because you never had a war?
Well if Mother Nature wants to start shit let her
Cuz you've got venom, stingers, fangs, and claws
but all our guns and stuff is better.

Damn girl, where'd you get your booty at?
Where'd you get your booty at? Goddamn, girl.
Damn girl, where'd you get your booty at?
Where'd you get your cat?

about

Not Blood Paint Brooklyn, New York

Not Blood Paint is a theatrically vivid—and sonically intense—four-piece from Bushwick, formed in 2008 by guitarists George Frye and Joe Stratton, bassist Mark Jaynes and drummer Seth Miller.

Musically, it’s a group impossible to pigeonhole, far removed from traditional verse-chorus-verse structures. The songs manifest as detailed stories that worm into the minds of always-shifting narrators.
