    I'm so dang stoked to FINALLY be releasing Honeysuckle Summer!

I'm not trying to brag, but this record is guaranteed to be a gem in any collection, no matter how grandiose or modest.

lyrics

That Blood in the halls
Turns to ink on a page.
The Gun is the God of
the U.S. of A.
No light in the darkness
No moths to the flame
Just victims of failure
Mathematic clichés.

Blood in the halls
Blood in the halls

Blood In the halls
Puts the seeds in the soil.
The spectacle, the money
Fill the belly of it all.
Those tiny explosions
Push an unholy engine,
Whose soul’s been compromised
Ever since the beginning.

And there's nothing we can do.
They say there’s nothing we can do.

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
When your neighbor’s idiot kid
Shoots up your granddaughter’s school?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
When that funeral march is dedicated
To something that you loved and that you’ll never hold?
What you gonna do when the bullets hit home?

Why don’t we always talk about?
Why aren’t we in the streets about?
Why’s nothing being done about?

That blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.

Blood in the halls
Like a warm Apple Pie.
As American as Baseball
Or Native Genocide.
No Light in the darkness
No moth to the flame.
Just victims of failure
Mathematic clichés.

And there’s nothing we can...

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
When your neighbor’s idiot kid
Shoots up your granddaughter’s school?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
When that funeral march is dedicated
To something that you loved and you’ll never hold?
What you gonna do when the bullets hit home?

Why’s nothing being done about?

Blood in the halls
Turns to ink on a page.
Violence is the God of
the U.S. of A.
No light in the darkness
No moths to the flame
Just those victims of failure
Mathematic clichés

Blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.
Blood in the halls.
