DENTADA (free) 02:53
DENTADA Her name was Dentada with the silent father She chewed me apart until my parts couldn't bother and Then lay me down in the fields of fodder Pulled from the socket by a brain so lawless Chorus: I need you to turn the world upside down so I can buy this fallacy Dentada was always so unclear from the start why I could never push too deep. I will melt your sugar skin coat If you burn my sinking tug boat Definition insults reputation Injury salts my amputation Chorus: I need you to turn the world upside down so I can buy this phallusy Dentada was always so unclear from the start why I could never push too deep. Chorus. Chorus 2 I thank you for telling me what life ought to mean so I can never rest in peace I thank you for telling me what life ought to mean ya it's just like pulling teeth

QUEEN BEE 01:50
QUEEN BEE Deep inside a hive Stillborn but alive Her milk is honey She is my Queen Bee She will never die. Bitterest of sweet Bed ridden, asleep Black shroud made of me She is my Queen Bee She will never die.

DANCE SONG 03:24
DANCE SONG Your condition Is my Religion Health is sickness Health is sickness Duxpeak, newspeak, straw math Nonsense, chatters like a scene rat Mean teen, vacant scene queen Acts like nothing's even happenin' Loose lips sink ships Cleft beaks, Clipped lips Ignorant Bliss Health is Sickness We sleep so long, There's nothing wrong We wake so soon in a coma cocoon My condition Is your religion Health is sickness Health is sickness

CAVE 02:12
CAVE In a cave, I will cave Revel in my mistakes Miner for the Undermined the new king of Philistine Sun I know, Sun I know In a cave, I can't grow Sunless now, and alone This cave has become home I will die and you will never know Excavate and exterminate my bones In my place, I am free to admit my defeat Put in place, duty's slave Troglodyte in a cave Sun I know, Sun I know In a cave, I can't grow Sunless now, and alone This cave has become home I will die and you will never know Excavate and exterminate my bones

ETERNAL LIFE INSURANCE I don't need a partner to die alone I refuse to call a road a home Wild horse fossils roam the night free Octopus skeleton begs for sleep. I see a phantom no one else sees. Out of sight and out of memory. Nothing ever lasts forever. Remembered as members of whatever. Exception. Except this. Conception. Accept it. I see a phantom no one else sees. Paralytic fear of psyche. Nothing lasts not even nothing. Reality can be so crushing. Exception. Except this. Conception. Accept it.

MELTING WITCH If the torch is real Then the light is fake. If the torture's real Then the fight is made. And if 4 is 5 Then I promise to sway. I will be the blade. I will be the frame. I will be the blame. Chorus: Feed a poison rabbit to the bundle of snakes Snake eater's belly ache. Keep a rotting plug in the silverfish drain Won't make them dissipate. No one's gonna rock my black cradle grave. No one's gonna kill my itch. Would you thrive in a desert like you've thirsted in a lake or would you melt like a melting witch? When you opened up to my orchid entrails, I saw a coven of witches through a wall of scales. I drew a bucket the size of a lake. Melting witch, real pain is relatively fake. Feed a poison rabbit to the bundle of snakes Snake eater's belly ache. Keep a rotting plug in the silverfish drain Won't make them dissipate. No one's gonna rock my black cradle grave. No one's gonna kill my itch. Would you thrive in a desert like you've thirsted in a lake or would you melt like a melting witch?

BLACK SWAN 02:59
BLACK SWAN Ride that black swan Ride that black swan Ride that black swan Over the edge of the world. This vast Ship of fools This vast Ship of fools This vast Ship of fools Over the edge of the world. Blind white sunshine, dead sea albedo. Thin snail shell home cracked by mollusk beak. The unchosen promised land sky ceiling springs a leak Ride on Ride on Sail on Sail on Sail on Cracked glass iceberg exposed through tundra plateau, Blind white sunshine, dead Sea albedo. Thin snail shell home cracked by mollusk beak. The unchosen promised land sky ceiling springs a leak Ride that black swan Ride that black swan Ride that black swan Over the edge of the world.

BAT A LASH 03:15
BAT A LASH Emptiness and nothingness Light speed bat-eyed loneliness On a speck of dust to ponder this Until you bat a lash Long blue Nothing new Same like me. Same like you. Emptiness and nothingness Light speed bat-eyed loneliness On a speck of dust to ponder this Until you bat a lash Blood like tar. Earn your stars. Wear the badge. Buy the farce. Mind your change Change your mind Until you Bat a lash Until you bat a lash

COALMINE CANARY Treated me like a coalmine canary In your mind's mineshaft, a cemetery I've been appointed for disappointment I've been anointed for shit employment "I know you'll keep coming back here. I know you'll keep coming back here." Treated me like a coalmine canary. In your mind's mineshaft, a cemetery. The going currency is cruelty. Commodified things running smoothly. I've got a thirst for blood I am the hunter and the hunted you've become

FRANKENSTEIN 02:48
FRANKENSTEIN I'm a whole and I'm a part I'm an end and I'm a start Just an end to an unjust means Didn't mean to be so mean. A Shame! It's such a Shame to be Shamed fuckin lame! (Meth meth crystal meth, you keep on pushing til there's nothing left, Now it's alright to waste your time coz I'll become a Frankenstein) so I Shed Shed Shed Shed My fake skin Steal and stitch the parts I'm missin' I'm a hole and I'm a part Reductionist who fell apart Gestalt, My fault, My shoulder's raw Hibernation broke your law Shame! It's a shame, To be shamed Fuckin lame. (Meth meth crystal meth, you keep on pushing til there's nothing left, Now it's alright to waste your time and you become a Frankenstein) So I shed shed shed shed shed my fake skin Steal and stitch the parts I'm missing you keep a knockin but you can't get in you keep a knockin but you can't get in you keep a knockin but you can't get in come again tomorrow night and try it again. Shed shed shed shed shed my fake skin Steal and stitch the parts I'm missing

ACHILLES HEEL Never letting go Was my Achilles heel I'd stub my toe on details Forget the sun was real Dirty little secrets And dirty little games Flew too close to the sun and my waxwings came undone Flew too close to the sun But I'm not the only one Flew too close to the sun Only to plummet into shedding blood A dead ringer's hired gun A fool who won't be outdone Flew too close to the sun and my wax wings came undone Flew too close to the sun But I'm not the only one. Never getting old was your Achilles Heel You'd cut your nose to spite your face Forget the sun was real Fuck those dirty secrets I don't want to hear your name. Flew too close to the sun and you lost your only son. Flew too close to the sun But you're not the only one. Flew too close to the sun To plummet into shedding blood A dead ringer's hired gun A fool who won't be outdone. Flew too close to the sun And you lost your only son Flew too close to the sun But you're not the only one But you're not the only one But you're not the only one No we're not the only ones.

Members: Kirby, Brock, Jon

What would happen if AmRep bands in the '90s were obsessed with disentangling pop sensibilities from their knot of noise? Vancouver's War Baby is exactly that: one part grunge ugliness, one part perfect pop pitch, two parts noise rock abandon. It's new wave for a disfigured world.
