God this is just a bit much
Stage is too bright
crowd it too dark
there's so much chatter
and i'm way too
I'm way too
way too fucking sober
we are 7 hour darkness invasion
this our final show
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
I 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'd've thought
that something would've gone wrong
but here I am pouring out my heart to people I don't know
I guess welcome to the show

str8 edge
00:54
|
|||
so, as you've gathered from that song I don't drink, I'm straight edge. And that makes me really cool. The thing is with being straight edge, I do it because it's cool, everyone knows not taking drugs is really cool. I'm totally not doing it because I have to make sobriety part of my identity so I don't drink, it's just to be cool. So if you ever see me upset when I'm really sober, it's just- it's just a little joke to be cool you know. it's not a- it's not a real thing. so don't worry. this song is about pissing in amy's toilet. that's amy.

happy new years
01:59
|

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
look around look around
at how lucky we are to be alive right now
look around look around
at how lucky we are to be alive right now
look around look around
at how fucking lucky we are.

band intro
01:19
|
|||
this is the part where I introduce the band. amy can you get my water? so, to my right is annie, she/her pronouns, she plays guitar. to my left is ivy they/them pronouns, they play guitar. to my back is someone, he uses he/him pronouns, he just kinda shows up to gigs. (he also plays guitar) he does, very badly. if you ever want a good time try and watch dan jackson practice guitar. it's quite funny. this is a song about skateboarding.

headed to the park
riding her skateboard
wearing a helmet

sweet christ
transgender skate punk goddess

transgender skate punk goddess
doing a kickflip
in front of her partner
gives them a kiss
then adjusts her tuck

girls on wheels are the hottest
transgender skate punk goddess
cooler tricks than all the rest
transgender skate punk goddess

this next song is by ilana del ray
swinging in the backyard
pull up in your fast car
whistling my name
open up a beer
and you take it over here
playin video games
i'm in his favourite sundress
watching me get undressed
take that body downtown
i say "you the bestest"
lean in for a big kiss
got his favourite perfume on
playing video games
it's you
it's you
it's all for you
everything i do
i tell you all the time
heaven is a place on earth with you
tell me all the things you wanna do
i heard that you like the cis chicks
honey
is that true?
better than i ever even knew
they say that the world was built for two
only worth living if somebody is loving you
well baby now you do
this wouldn't be a problem if you listened at the shows
like half the band is trans so please don't call us bro
and before you make the accusation yeah I'm a heterophobe
and i want you to go
get out of here with your cis bullshit
this is a safe space and i'm willing to get violent
go get out of here with your cis bullshit
these are my friends and I'll do anything to protect them
and if you try me i swear i will get violent

thanks

so I don't really know what I was gonna talk about here. I was maybe gonna say something about how I was having nightmare about this gig. but um, that's not a fun thing to talk about you know? anyone- any suggestions 'bout what you wanna hear me riff on? [some indecipherable bs from the crowd] *sighs* I'm not playing that tonight, the joke is we got a song called "another song". No, I'd like to thank uh, the one and only Mr Gott. I knew his name it was a joke. I'd like to thank- say thanks to Dan Gott for putting us on, for Pink Cowards for playing. I've heard mice are good, that should be fun. And uh, Dan Gott's brother's band, that should also be good. we got a great set lined up for you courtesy of the gott dan dan gott. (what are we even playing next?) (I don't even fucking know. fuck the scene it's fuck the scene)

fuck the scene
03:03
|
|||
(I don't even know how this fucking...)
this song is called fuck the scene it's about how we fucking hate everybody.
if you wanna book us please do
(maybe... how does the song go?)
1, 2, 3, 4
another fucking night
another fucking guy
very cis
very straight
i'm feeling very in the way
standing at the front
cause i wanna be involved
cause gigs are supposed to be fun
you know?
but i feel like i'm too judgemental
or maybe these emo bands do just sound the same
drunk children screaming about nothing
shrouded in metaphor so they sound like something worth discussing
i might go home
i always go home
i can't remember the last time i stayed until the end of a show
but what would i listen to when i got back
half the bands i loved are lead by abusers
maybe i should watch a movie instead
that is a joke
i'm just too scared to care about any artist that i don't personally know anymore
still got Brand New lyrics
bouncing around my head
I've grown up listening to abusive men
whine about how empty they feel
so forgive me if I'm dismissive
about a similar kind of thing that's playing tonight
that's playing every night
that everyone i know
seems to actually fucking like
give up hope
fuck the scene
stay at home
fuck the scene
fight the future
fuck the scene
don't pay entry
fuck the scene
don't pay entry
fuck the scene
heckle constantly
fuck the scene
burn the place down
fuck the scene
kill your heroes
fuck the scene

toke joke
00:52
|
|||
(what's next, how many songs do we have left?)
this next song is a slow song. so if you wanna take a toke from your bong this is the appropriate song you know just to mellow out, have a little... yeah.
|

12. |
i mean
03:52
|
|||
head from the pres to the party
make it through the door
and the music's so loud my ears might bleed
which'd 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 she laughs which is not the response i wanted
but I'm not really sure what response i wanted
so i dunno i guess i'm just being a fucking asshole
again
we talk about shitposting and the pages that we like
and it's boring and it's pointless but i'm having a good time
i guess at 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 just the *scoffs* greatest album of all time
do you wanna stroke your ego by saying the same old shit
that everybody has already said about an album release like, what, 30 years ago?"

a series of lies
01:19
|
|||
um, so we got a bandcamp and whatever. you can like us... we do have merch and cassettes but we didn't bring 'em. if you wanna just give me money, yeah feel free. our bandcamp is 7hdi.bandcamp.com. we have nine releases, we have 3 full lengths, 4 eps, a single, and a live album. that's more than any other fucking band in the scene. it's definitely quantity.

this is a song about falling down a hole. we ripped it off from a crywank song also about falling down a hole. falling down crywank's hole am i right? sex joke.
1, 2, 3- wait
this is our last song. you can move forward or dance or whatever, do whatever the fuck you want, but this is our last song of our last ever show. just so you know.
1, 2, 3, 4.
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?
was it worth listening?
is this noise better than nothing at all?
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.
we are 7 hour darkness invasion. yeah.
oooo one more time for 7 hour darkness invasion bwehhhhh. alright, coming up next: the amazing pink candle. stick around for that one.
