Capable

Well, it's taken me forever to find a social demographic, that accepts that I'm pathetic, & knows how to politely ignore me, As I fuck myself into next week pretending like I am not weak, falling back on the withdrawing ideal that's my masculinity!
Oh I'm serious I'm sorry, but I'm happy meal messiah, so how do you expect me to save you when I'm not even capable
So, I'll put priority into my self-deprecation that you call art, & out of frustration I'll go climax with a sigh, & I'm sorry you have to hear this but I can't afford a therapist & without some release, I'll be jacking off tonight, to questionable content that I fond online

I Hope You're Dead
01:39

Your jokes were never funny so why were you still going on a laughing & choking on your own spit, like you were possessed by a demon or just another hypnotised chicken led to cut off your own head
So tell me are you sleeping or are you dead?
god, I sure hope you're dead!
Avoiding all social landmines like a bull in a china shop, you were building a home that looked more like a casket, were you trying to make a living or trying to make a killing, well you ended uprooted with the same bloodsuckers you hated

Thinking Of You
03:26

I was throwing away my more pure thoughts when she came in.
She tried to lead me away, the boys said I would be okay.
And then she said I've been thinking of you.
And then I said I've been thinking, I've been thinking that I tough myself so you don't have, I touch myself so you don't you have to.
So please leave me alone.
As I was throwing away my more pure thoughts well he came in
He shoved his hands down my pants, he told me to relax.
And then he said I've been thinking, I've been thinking of you.
And then I said I've been thinking, I've been thinking that I touch myself so you don't have to, I tough myself so you don't have to.
So please leave me alone.
As the people say don't complain, at least someone is gunning your way.
As they play devil's advocate, you take it as a compliment.
As the people say don't complain, at least someone is gunning your way.
They play devil's advocate you take it as a compliment.
When they say I've been thinking, I've been thinking of you.
And then you'll say I've been thinking, I've been thinking that I touch myself so you don't have to. I touch myself so you don't have to.
So please leave me alone.
So please leave me alone.

Summer Time
02:08
|

I may be upside and still struggling to keep the blood out of my head.
But all these summertime anthems get me thinking there must be something I'm missing.
Because I still see blue everywhere and feel cold in the sun.
nothing changes just because,
It's the summertime.
And I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad.
I learnt to run on broken legs, mind over matter or am I a masochistic.
It doesn't matter as I'm still moving.
But all this talk of sunshine and rain clouds disappearing makes me wonder where the fuck they're looking.
Because I still see blue everywhere and feel cold in the sun.
Nothing changes just because,
It's the summertime
And I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad.
It's the summertime
And I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad, and I'm still sad.

The Comfort
02:04
|

|
Someone set a fire to heaven's gate, so it looks more like hell's front porch
As a joke can only go so far before it becomes a crime.
Well, I became criminal well before the punchline.
As I'm old enough to know, you'll never be old enough to know any better.
But keep on trying and trying until you're crying.
The comfort is you'll never make it out alive.
So they were spinning out like flies on sherbet,
Killing themselves like it was a fashion statement.
With little to no mind, you'll go leave me at the finish line,
Appropriate really, the joke wipes off your arrogant smile.
As I'm old enough to know, you'll never be old enough to know any better.
But keep on trying and trying until you're crying.
The comfort is you'll never make it out alive.
You'll never make it out alive.
You'll never make it out alive.
You'll never make it out alive.

Suffocating
01:28
|
|||
|
I hate the mornings when I wake up,
They remind me I have a ten to twelve hour day
To make or break but more often than not it just,
Crumbles away.
So I want to run out like a rat on a burning ship,
Drowning or burning, either all who gives a shit
After all both Involve,
Suffocating
So I had a plan to be forever young
I fucked it up by going & growing up
With all the meaningful meaninglessness that's so,
Damn tiring.
So when masturbation loses its charm my heads
In a plastic bag because someones got to get
the last laugh otherwise I'm just,
Suffocating
Yeah I'm suffocating
I'm suffocating

Low
02:07
|

With big hands, this world held you by your neck.
And like a pup or a snot-nosed little kid, I watched as you head off,
To get in line with all the others who wanted their wings premature.
As I did nothing but watch you go and walk out the door.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
You went away from everything and everyone that you loved.
So turning a blind eye might mean I could pretend it's all a bad dream.
I wish you crossed the river, not going down the stream.
With nowhere left you strung your necktie into a halo,
And, when Christmas passes all our laughter will be hollow.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
You went away from everything and everyone that you loved.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
With your halo hanging low where'd you go.
You went away from everything and everyone that loved you.

In Bed By Ten
02:08
|

|
I'm choking myself with my heart in my throat,
Trying to get off on something other than what I wrote.
When I was young and dumb and tried a suicide cure,
While I'll admit now that was my greatest failure.
But I'm holding back now keeping my breath in sync somehow i don't think this is basic instinct.
That I like to think
But I've just had to much think about tonight,
Giving me a symptom where I'm lying in my bed and I can't close my eyes.
Yes, I like to think,
But I've just had too much think about tonight.
And its got me in bed by ten,
And now they're saying good morning.
So I'm telling jokes that fall back on me.
I'd rather live and die a joke than die never laughing.
And I don't need you to rub salt in my wounds,
Trust pal I'm way the fuck ahead of you.
But it's a common thought and a simple act.
Smile and wave and hope that they don't react.
That I like to think
But I've just had to much think about tonight,
Giving me a symptom where I'm lying in my bed and I can't close my eyes.
Yes, I like to think,
But I've just had too much think about tonight.
And its got me in bed by ten,
And now they're saying good morning.
Yeah, I'm in bed by ten,
And now they're saying good morning.

Doing Better
02:35

Let's slay these nightmares together,
Have better conversations than how's the weather.
As I've got five basic needs and some simple pleasures,
But I can miss out if that means you'll be doing better.
Yeah, you'll be doing better.
So have you ever been there or done that thing,
Maybe if you haven't we could go and do it together.
As I'm not a brave man but I'm doing the best I can.
This world scares the shit outta me,
But with you, I'm doing better.
I'm doing better.
So let's slay these nightmares together,
Have better conversations than how's the weather.
As I'm not a brave man but I'm doing the best I can.
This world scares the shit outta me,
But with you, I know I'll be alright.

So hey fangless vampire, are you still my friend,
Are you still asking questions you don't want answered.
Like is god plankton or something bigger than me,
And is he even real, does he even feel and is he even listening.
To the same shit on a different day.
With new songs come old complaints.
So give me minimum wage you'll get minimum effort.
If you want better buddy well you'll have to pay.
So hey wolf in sheep's skin are you still my friend,
Are you still asking questions that you don't want answered.
While you stuff your teddy bear with half-cooked meat,
So you can feel something real without committing.
To the same shit on a different day.
With new songs come old complaints.
So give me minimum wage you'll get minimum effort.
If you want better buddy well you'll have to pay.
You pay, we'll play.
You pay, we'll play.
You pay, we'll play.
You pay, we'll play.
You pay, we'll play.
You pay, we'll play.

Nevermind, it's all okay.
Breathing in slowly,
Oh, it's a lovely day and I'm staying inside.
Because I'm too daman scared and tired of what's out there.
And the people that I care about, and they say they care about me.
Poor damn things.
They say if you hit your head against a wall long enough,
Eventually, something's gotta give.
You've just gotta be an arrogant son of a prick.
A triple threat with no effect.
Never make them, only make promises,
And if you break them you'll still get to heaven.
Because there's no one perfect soul.
And hells too crowded,
So by default, we will get in,
With all the murders, rapists and politicians.
Poor damn things
They say if you hit your head against a wall long enough,
Eventually, something's gotta give.
You've just gotta be an arrogant son of a prick.
We're poor damn things.
We're poor damned things.

A mix of frustration & feelings of defeat even at the light at the end of the tunnel.
Self-titled album to show the growth & change we as people felt as our music & self-identity changed over the years, dropping our previous name Yor Cronies & becoming Departure Party was a huge decision which took months of conversation, re-working, blood, sweat & tears.
We hope you'll enjoy it.
