god this is just a bit much
stage is too bright
crowd is too dark
there's so much chatter
and i'm way too
i'm way too
i'm way too fucking sober
hi my name is saffron sunburst I'm a 6 year old sun bear and I still wear diapers even though my daddy says I doesn't really need them anymore. anyway this is my punk band 7 hour darkness invasion.
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 have gone wrong
but here i am
pouring out my heart to people i don't know
i guess welcome to the show

pop song
03:17
|
|||
this is a song for all you queers out there.
saw you standing at the social
tall boots
short hair
black choker
soft glare
like you already knew what i was going to do
like i played right into your hands when i started talking to you
now we're sitting down away from the crowd
laughing at cis het guys who are just so fucking proud
of how they look
and how they move
cause they can't make love the way girls like us do
oh honey i could be your princess
and treat you like my queen
or maybe we could both just lie in bed
and show each other transbian memes
now we're out walking each other home
cause you know it's kinda scary to go it alone
i'd never say that you don't pass
but you look gay as fuck in that rainbow flag
and you're so damn beautiful
in the queerest of ways
i wish the whole world could see you
through the trans girl gaze
honey i could give you head for hours
cause when i'm between your legs it's like i'm in a dream
or maybe we could both just get under the covers
and cuddle each other to sleep
honey i wanna be with you
and show you how much you mean to me
i would love to just rub your back
lean into your ear and softly sing
"american girls are spiro and e
coming to bed so edible"

crushinggg
00:30
|
|||
now that was a song about me crushing on a cute girl. this next song is about me crushing on a cute boy. don't worry there's a song about me crushing on a cute nonbinary person later. I just can't help it, y'all are just so cute. I wish you could take me home and make me your little pet. But I belong to daddy, though maybe it's worth asking cause he does like to share.

stargazing
02:00
|
|||
ounds of the surf
The waves crashing down
The wind in my ears
Laying in the now cool sand
I feel it inbetween my fingers and in my hair
Underneath my nails and stuck to my feet
I'm thinking of you
And wondering what you are thinking
Beach side property
This'd make a nice home for you and me
We could fish for dinner
And write each other poetry
Gulf shores evenings
Holding hands and star gazing
Do you think this could be your fantasy?
The future has never looked so bright
Illuminated by this starry night
I look up at the lights in the sky
And I search for a while

babyfurs explained
00:43
|
|||
now lemme- lemme explain what's going on here, okay? so, I'm a babyfur. Now think of it this way. Being- What being cis is to being trans is what being trans is to being a furry, and what being trans is to being a furry is what being a furry is to being a babyfur. So if you think of it that way I'm like triple trans which makes me 300% valid.

fuck the scene
02:50
|
|||
this next song is called fuck the scene
1, 2, 3, 4
another late night
another fucking guy
very cis
very straight
i'm feeling very in the way
standing at the front
cause i want to be involved
cause gigs are supposed to be fun
you know
but i feel i'm too judgemental
or maybe these emo bands do all sound the same
just drunk children singing 'bout nothing
shrouded in metaphor so they seem 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 could watch a movie instead
that's 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 abuse men
whine about how empty they feel
so forgive if i'm dismissive
about the 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
worship no one
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

northern sunsets
03:30
|
|||
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
it's getting dark
and I've walked passed your place maybe 5 times now
with my ex-- wrong verse
it's getting dark
and i've walked passed your place maybe 5 times now
with my ex on my back
telling me to just go in
and ask you out
even though you've got friends over
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

some sincerity
02:08
|
|||
I'd like to thank Jess and Elion and Erin for putting on this event, I think that was great. I'd like to thank all the performers for performing, for being amazing even if I couldn't be in the room for them. and I would also like to thank simon bolley who's yet to perform, I am very excited for their performance. um. yeah it's- it's- it's hard for me to come to events like these. I think they're great events to have I just find it hard to come to them. And it's not like my fear of existing publicly, that just makes it hard to leave the house, like this is beyond that, I'm not sure it's fear. I don't know what to call it. I'm like frustrated with all my friends constantly, I can barely talk to them sometimes, and they're my friends. When I have to interact with people I don't know it's just too much. It's not that I'm shy, I can do it, I can make friends, I can hold a conversation, I just don't really want to. I don't wanna get to know all that many more people than I do now because in the queer community we seemingly take being intimate with someone to mean we can rely on them for care and we can outsource our needs onto them and they have to take it because dammit our feelings are valid. We're manipulative. We don't mean to be, and we can justify it, but we're manipulative. And we're manipulated too, sure, but we mostly just use that as another excuse to forgive our own behaviour. And I don't know what we can do about that. What we need is infrastructure and actual healthcare and flexibility in our work and income support and professional carers, but we haven't got that, we've only got our friends.
this is our last song, please don't talk to me after the show.

we were talking on the hall phone
you said your boyfriend finally scored
now I've got a little something they call
h a e m o c h r o m a t o s i s
but I'll stay up if you wanna talk some more
In half my dreams I can't move
But even when I can I can't save you
And I don't know why I still try
I've been told you're doing fine.
You're pretty damn capable
But I think about you all the time
I found those notes that you left me
While rummaging around my old room.
And every conversation came back to me at once
I remembered every time you said I wasn't enough.
I tried, yeah I tried
But I maybe I shouldn't have
Maybe I made things worse
Maybe all you wanted was to not get hurt.
on bass: ivy price, she/her pronouns
on guitar: annie prior, she/her pronouns
on drums: dan jackson, he/him pronouns
my name is yvette pyke, i use they/them pronouns
we have been 7 hour darkness invasion
Oh I regret every minute I spent arguing with you
I'm sorry for all those phonecalls that stole our summer afternoons.
I just didn't realise that as things stood there was no hope
Should've listened to the newsboys cause then I would've known.
God's not dead he's surely alive he's living on the inside roaring like a lion
God's not dead he's surely alive he's living on the inside roaring like a lion
I know that just seems like a pretty sad excuse
But if it's any consolation I'm not forgiving you.
I'll never forget being called pathetic
When I wasn't up for sex
Or when you defended your new boyfriend
For calling me a faggot.
Holding on to my anger cause it feels like all I have
I still fantasise about murdering your dad.
Cause I know I can't make things better
I can't even make things change
But you always did want me to write you something
If I told you that I love you
Would you listen
Would you care
If I told you that I love you
Would you just stand and stare
If I told you that I love you
Would you smile
Would you cry
If I told you that I love you
Would it make you feel like you could die
If I told you that I love you
Would you realise you don't need them
If I told you that I love you
Would you walk away again
If I told you that I love you
Would you say that you love me
Would that be the end
Would you get out of my dreams
God is an abuser who knows exactly how we think
And he's with us all the time keeping control of everything
Que sera sera
We never stood a chance
We'll never be enough cause that's not his plan
You still live with your parents
I'm still way too attached
You're still fucking pretentious
I'm still a slow motion car crash
But one day we'll stop believing that we deserve this pain
Cause maybe God ain't dead yet but I swear I'll find a way
and nobody is falling in love
everybody here needs a shove
and nobody is coming undone
everybody here is afraid of fun
and nobody is getting any touch
everybody thinks that it needs too much
and nobody is getting any play
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
