Told me you were fine every night
They said that you were dead and that's alright
I stay awake at night to hear you cry
I told them I was fine but they don't buy
And I don't want
to see you around
Cause you seem like
You don't wanna try
And I know how
You're starting to feel
So leave me alone
I will see you cry and I won't try
To help and calm you down cause you just lied
I don't believe a word that you cry
Remember I was there when no one cared
And I don't want
to see you around
Cause you seem like
You don't wanna try
And I know how
You're starting to feel
So leave me alone
And I will hear you cry every night
You wish that I will care but I just won't
I hate when you attemp to yell and fight
They said that you were dead and that's alright
Guitars so jagged you could cut yourself on them and sneering spoken/sung lyrics make “Red Dirt” a post-punk powerhouse. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
I'm a sucker for lyrics. This song is a beautiful sadness to end a summer with. I love every track on this album but this one is comfortable to me, for better or worse. It captures a feeling I think unfortunately most of us have felt. Surf Curse's whole sound reminds me of loss and no more so then here. logansaxby
