about

Being a punk, or part of any punk adjacent community, socialization can come with its challenges. As we grow into adults, it’s easy to assume you’ll naturally accumulate social graces and etiquette. Somewhere along the way there is a noticeable divide between being good at partying and living through all the drugs, and being good at parties. On reflection, so many of us were never that great socially to begin with. Being aware of your own insecurities can also make you sensitive to those of others. This song is a recognition of the awkward, over-sharing, and terrible parties.

lyrics

Well you’ve got curves in all the weird places
yes this is objectification
Just so you know I’m not going to stand for it
let’s walk and get a beer
overheard at a party

for instance the first time we meet I’m not going to tell you about all my homemade sex gear
all humans build relationships over time
overheard at a party
we’re all dying

Are you into kickboxing do you fight cause i’m pretty sure that you could kick my ass
Oh with those gloves you could pin me anytime
Oh get the fuck out of here
I hate hanging out with engineers

Overheard at a party

turn valuable getting fucked up time
into plans to hike over the weekend
I don’t have a tent, but I’m sure I can
find one somewhere

I’m bi guy, I give it in all directions
a moment before I try to shove a beard into my mouth

Overheard at a party

I vaguely remember your MX3
Your brothers acting out their sexy football team
a cul de sac of drugs, being known to the cops,
bounced a tennis ball to signal the dogs
that’s how I spent my year of probation
I can’t believe trans kids get to use the same bathrooms
well I prefer stalls with floor to ceiling doors
where did you find those lovely art deco light fixtures

Overheard at a party
