about

Stolen from the upcoming release of MoonMasters LP

If you've seen us live, this may sound very familiar but little did you know, this song is really two.

You Don't Know Me So Well:
Have you ever rushed into a relationship with someone before you knew who they really are? Well, this song is for you if you understand what Brian is screaming.

Enter The Basement:
After moving into a Basement Apartment, Eric ponders his life and what it means to be alive. This song's lyrics actually pre-date The Johnny Red Eyes, being written and preformed by Eric proper.

lyrics

You Don't know Me So Well:

I could be a serial killer
Not a pillar of societies plight
Just a Brainstpiller

I could have killed the President back in '63
Then kill Lee Harvey Oswald so he wouldn't finger me

I can believe six impossible things before breakfast
Not even with help of my friend Opium

I could have skeletons in my basement
The two posed on the right I call "Lovers Lament"

You don't know me so well
You don't know me so well
You don't know me so well
You don't know me so well

Enter The Basement:

Well,
If I were to guess that two wrongs make a right
Well, my logic is full of shit.
If my goal was to live like a tyrannical lord
Well, I could deal with it

But a basement apartment is good enough
For me to feel like a king
If the world wants turn me over and force it
I'll just have to say "Fuck it"

If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
If it still hurts you're still alive
