about

This is the song we open our set with. It’s called Gutter Bound (after going through a few different aliases in my head, including Hungover Drawn And Quartered, which was a bit too smart-ass in the end) and it’s about how going out and getting blind drunk every weekend isn’t actually the best thing in the world: it makes me poor, it fills me with regrets and sickness the next morning, but yet for all the destruction it brings, it keeps happening.

lyrics

Hello square one my oldest friend, I hoped I’d never see you again, I’m sick and tired of these dead ends, and how they feel like home. Because lately I’ve been hanging out with the patron saint of the gutter bound, we’ve all lost weekends we don’t want found but mine won’t leave me alone.
When the sun goes down, we build a ghost town, but I guess that’s how we roll.
And this heart of mine has been compromised by the thrill of going out and taking whatever I can find. But you’re not her, and she’s not here. You’re a mistake that I made. I need you to disappear.
I guess that’s how I roll now. In this ghost town, I guess that’s how it goes. At war with myself, no concern for my mental health, I am out of control.
I’ve gone too far off the rails tonight. I’ve paid the price for a real good time. I can’t quit it. I’ve tried. Pay me no mind. I’ll be fine.
