about

Pappy The Clown is about when you're having one of those days where you just get so fed up and frustrated with life that you just wanna go into the bathroom, put on a clown outfit, and become a another person.

lyrics

Pappy the Clown went down
To the place where I used to stay
And he went there to find out
How he drowned out his days

Not sure what to do and
Not sure where to hide
Pappy the Clown drinks his poison
So he's not alone
And if he survives this night
You know he'll just do it again
Pappy my dear friend
Where did we go wrong?

No one ever wonders
How he wastes his life
Smiling at children's birthday parties
Oh what a lie

Pappy the Clown
Oh, Pappy the Clown
Why are you so sad?
Why did you have to go?
Almost took the leap of faith
The other day
Pappy my dear friend
Where did we go wrong?

Started from the attic, now we're in a basement, and hopefully we'll be at ground level by the time we fix this elevator.

"not even metal"
by 521 Briar

Everything from 521 Briar sounds like it was made for meth heads, and it's absolutely amazing! The amount of creativity that comes from frontman Balzy's head is as insane as 521 Briar's music. Vaguewaves
