you want me to put this in my bag?
no, on the table. [indecipherable]
right.... I'm not 100% sure it's going to happen but i might have to interact in some ways [indecipherable, covered by guitar] so I'm just gonna put my bag here
yeah that's fine
yo, nick. nick! where's nick? well. yo wait can you help us uhm-
why can't you play a normal person chord, play C. aaaaaaaaaaa.
sounds pretty rockin to me, i dunno. that's quieter than that. that's my thesis.
okay, we'll do the fuckin first song and if it doesn't work it doesn't work, you know.
could everyone smoking cigarettes, fuckers. wait a minute, let's get the guys who are smoking cigarettes. i'll get the smoking cigarette guys and then we'll be back.
does anyone who's here want a tshirt. anyone? it's covered in bleach. jamie! that's yours now! anyone else want a free 7hdi tshirt also covered in bleach? any takers? any takers? yeah! okay I'm gonna tune up, play e. the best note. a?

yo before we start does anyone want a free 7hdi shirt?
they're really wet with bleach
some of them are wet with paint!
god this is just a bit much
The stage is too bright
The crowd is too dark
There's so much chatter
And I'm way too
I'm way too
I'm way too fucking sober
actually I've had like one wine so it's pretty good
we are 7 hour darkness invasion
this is our last show for real
ah this is the last time i ever get to do this
1, 2, 3, 4
Woke up from a daydream
Into a venue
Tell me if I go out of tune
Cause I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know the lyrics, don't know the chords
How the fuck do you play guitar
How the fuck did I get this far
How did I stay alive this long
To sing you these songs
With the blood I've lost you would have thought
That something would've gone wrong
But here I am pouring my heart out to people I don't know
Welcome to the show

uh, what song is next? so we'd like to thank tom beer for putting this event on. [incomprehensible mumbling]. we'd like to thank the pixies for playing earlier and built to spill, that was great! I've only seen built to spill once before. we are pavement.

i don't drink anything
except sparkling water and peppermint tea
so when i'm screaming in your living room
it's not the alcohol or caffeine
it's just me
"what is art?"
i think to myself as i piss in amy's toilet
"and why do i sing along to every song that comes on"
even when I'm alone
even when it's something that I don't know
i just get this feeling in my bones
and i gotta put on a show
pat the bunny said
"if you're not dancing then you might as well be dead"
and that's ableist and untrue
but it describes my attitude
so if you wanna take my hand
I'll show you what it means
to do more than consume art
to make it a part of who you are
look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

This is not my idea of fun
Roasting in the summer sun
My body hurts
This sunburn can't get any worse
I love this place
Just not in the middle of the day
SPF 110
Does not do shit to save my skin
The water's warm
The riptide's pulling me down the shore
In an innertube
Look back at the beach and I think I see you
I love this place
But the heat is fucking with my brain
Either that or you've been
On my mind a bit too much well I'm trying
To think about things that I like
And not just the person that I like
Obsession isn't sexy
But hey, neither am I with these tan lines

mid set content warning
01:11
|
|||
okay. none of those songs particularly contained anything so i'm gonna do a content warning now. content warning: suicide, mental health, sexual assault, gender, mental health did i say that? a bunch of stuff. I'll give you a few minutes cause i need to figure out what song is next. so if you're someone who has triggers maybe it would be best to leave now. what song is next? hartley, you know the setlist. i think it is northern sunsets. okay, anyway, that was a love song from a summer where i got sent to a mental institute cause i'm a crazy person. it's a love song about a guy who raped me. this is next song is nice.

northern sunsets

1, 2, 3, 4
it's 9pm on a friday and the moon is as bright as the sunset
and i can smell fire somewhere off in the distance
i'm carrying groceries back to my place
feeling like things don't change
and trying to write a song
that'll prove me wrong
in my kitchen feeling weird
just brought one of my closest friends to tears
and now i'm lying on the couch
watching x files
thinking if there's anything that i could possibly say
to make her feel okay
and trying to stay awake
it's getting dark
and i've walked past your place maybe 5 times now (I'll move in a bit)
with my ex on my back
telling me to just go in
and ask you out
even though you've got friends over (they're good musically aren't they, very good)
even though you've been depressed
even though i'm on the sidelines of your life
and that's probably for the best
if i told you that i love you would you kiss me?
if i told you i was scared would you hold me tight?
if i just stood there, silent on your doorstep, would you invite me in?
if i told you i was sorry would you tell me how to make things right?
now it's 9pm on a different day
the sunsets here go on forever
and i can smell fire again

Head from the pres to the party
Make it through the door and the music's so loud my ears might bleed
Which would be fine but I'm not drinking
Find some cutie, try to chat but they can't hear anything I'm saying
So I gotta scream
"Hey do you like memes
Do you like irony
Do you like jokes where the joke is that it's not funny"
And they laugh which is not the response I wanted
But Im not sure what response I wanted
So I don't know maybe I'm just being a fucking asshole
We talk about shitposting and the Facebook pages we like
And it's pointless and it's boring but I'm kind of having a good time
I guess some point we become the acts we put on
And that's fine
"Hey do you like My Bloody Valentine
Do you think that Loveless is the greatest album of all time
Do you want to stroke your ego
By saying the same old shit everyone has already said about an album released like 30 years ago"

Step on my balls
Sit on my face
Spank me mommy
I'll kiss your taint
Cum in my hair
Piss in my mouth
Choke me daddy
Slap me about
Fuck me like I'm your ex girlfriend
Fuck me like I'm the asshole she cheated on you with
Fuck me like I'm their younger sister
Who's never even seen a dick
This audience sucks
Y'all fucks don't even dance
And no one understands
How uncomfortable I am up here
Stripping myself bare for your pleasure
Are you having fun?
Are you getting off right now?
Was this worth the 4 pounds?
I'm tired
it's in my blood
and i'm starting to doubt whether i'll make it home
this coat's not waterproof
headphones broke again
so i'm listening to the wind and the rain and the traffic
thinking about the things i said
trying to console a friend
wishing that i knew how to be supportive
just wanna take my wet clothes off
and get back to bed
but i mean it's not like i ever really rest
cause when i try to go to sleep
i hear people speak to me
i hear drums beat
distant screams
it's a cacophony
and in my dreams
i get deadnamed by my friends
and i try and fail to save my ex again and again
i'm tired
you could say i'm fatigued
is it a symptom of some disease
or is it just me?
got this internalised fear of disability
i'm acting like it's no different from dying
i don't know how to express this anxiety
i'm not even sure that i should try
is this my place to speak?
is this song worth anything?
is this art or am i just spiralling?
my face hurts
i'm still not back
i hate this place
but i'm fucking trapped
would move to the states
but i can't get insurance
the wife and i would die so goddamn fast
so i'm stuck here
where it's not much better
got the tories in power
and this dreadful weather
i'm soaked to the bone
i'm shivering like fuck
i'm tired
it's in my blood
oh no
we're falling down a hole
oh no
we're falling down a hole
oh no
we're falling down a hole
oh no
we're falling down a hole
we're getting to the last of this
teenage angst
emo bullshit
i hope this is the last of this
emotionally jackin it
have you learned anything?
did you sing along?
has it been worth the listening?
was this noise better than nothing at all?
everybody else just wants me to kill myself
everybody else just wants me to kill myself
everybody else just wants me to kill myself
they always try and kill me and they always try and starve me out
everybody just wants me to kill myself
everybody else just wants me to kill myself
everybody else just wants me to kill myself
a dozen people stalking me like i give a fuck about
and all that you left, you left for someone
all of this hurt that's wilted off
all this relief it's the oddest thing
oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
all that you left, you left for someone
all of this hurt that's wilted off
all this relief it's the oddest thing
oh my god
oh. my. god.
oh.
my.
god.
