about

"Over the last few weeks the zeitgeist's climate broke the thermometer and the only way to bring down the fever was turn it into a poem which transformed into this song. Written last night and recorded today. It helped me get through the last 24 and I hope it helps you." - Love, Lach

lyrics

Debris


Vegas vomited into my morning
And it was hard to stand on the toxic boat
It all stretched in front of me
Debris


Hurricanes heaved up hospital beds
Medical scanners, stuffed dolls
Coffee mugs, bicycles and TV’s
Debris


Wind maps like a murderer’s fingerprint
The center, blood red and moving
Across country’s trailing disease
Debris


Muddy water everywhere rising
Dirty syringes and used tampons
A bullhorn to hypocrisy
Debris


Suited spokesman focus testing
Responses for best angles to win power
Offering prayers and sympathies
Debris


Country cattle dipped like fries
Into the boiling oil of madness
Acoustic abattoir’s haunting melody
Debris


Flags and flags and more goddamn flags
On pins, boots, jackets, stripper poles
But don’t dare take a knee
Debris


And walls in ears and hearts
And shorelines and radio charts
Until everyone’s living like a refugee
Debris


And I’m sorry Tom but the wave hits
Everybody eventually and we
All will end up swallowed by the sea
Debris.
