about
We started to write "Trash Castle" right before we moved from Seattle to Los Angeles in September of 2016 with our drummer at the time, Ben Hilzinger. After moving and getting settled, we finished writing Trash Castle and tracked it in May of 2017. After our friend Gabe Pressman mixed it, the song fell through the cracks. Lost between the old songs we loved and the new songs we were excited about. So here it is. Unmastered, but still rad.
lyrics
Its mine for the taking Ive got a couple tricks up my sleeve
I'm keeping mine and I'm minding my own, and everything in between
Bring on the water works, I'll show them what it's worth
They're all the same when you're pulling on the choke chain
I know you're tongue tied, but when we cross the line
Always the same when you're pulling on the choke chain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Talk is cheap for the talking sheep they never say what they mean
I hate to leave them behind but it's not anything new to me
Bring on the water works, I'll show them what it's worth
They're all the same when you're pulling on the choke chain
I know you're tongue tied, but when we cross the line
Always the same when you're pulling on the choke chain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
They're all the same when you're pulling on the choke chain
