lyrics

Four hundred thousand dollars spent on your plot of suburban sprawl. Your diamonds are worthless. Privilege has you caught up in a world where "they are just lazy". You exclaim "my struggle".

Please don't even pretend you matter. This world is not yours to reduce and shatter. Narrow minded views are wearing me thin.

I don't think you'll ever change or realize your faults.
When you're gone the world will change for the better. And I won't miss you.

Money won't follow you to your grave. Spent buying faith to protect your fractured face. Know your diamonds don't give you grace.

Brighter Arrows sadly ended to soon. They left behind some amazing music that would be worth your time to listen. DROUGHTS

Reminds me a lot of the unrestrained powerviolence-tinged screamo of the 90s, only with a modern recording sound. also the songwriting is top notch. Pogo
