"Bastard" was recorded during the "Axthoxy EP" session in Fall 2011.
lyrics
Even vultures don’t leave their young for carrion.
You’d think by now I’d cognize clockwork.
Gone, gone, gone, your son shivers as he writes this song.
Even vultures don’t leave their young for carrion.
The wind carries cigarette smoke wherever it blows, I know, but I am in no position to curse it for my cough.
A nest cannot sustain upon hills like white pills.
Nod any longer and I’ll die by the rocks of rock bottom.
All I understand is I’ll never understand the hollow man and
(this is the way the world ends).
