S.E. Casey Angry, yet hopeful, you can tell these songs were worked on a long time before being recorded. These accessible songs are brilliantly constructed, each musical choice is spot on contributing to a satisfying payoff. Favorite track: Emerald City.

Emerald City 03:23
I woke up In an Emerald City Everything was covered in roses And the roses were covered in sores (I don't know who I am anymore) I saw the weak person that I used to be Reflecting at me In a million stained glass mirrors I'll tell you more about him soon Everybody comes to the Emerald City To get something that they think they're missing You take one look and your brain gets lost Inside the green glow Inside the green glow Oh I got my start as a scarecrow I put a little paper bag on my head and I put on a show But I had no brain Drowning in excess and delusions of fame Then I was a drunken lion Too afraid to use his claws And I turned into a little monkey In the service of the wicked fascist witch Everybody comes to the Emerald City To get something that they think they're missing You take one look and your brain gets lost Inside the green glow Inside the green glow Everybody comes to the Emerald City To get something that we think we're missing We take one look and our brain gets lost Inside the green glow

PCP 03:39
Every plan we hatch is a scam To exploit ourselves Again and Again and Again and Again We’re homeless We’re cracked It’s a trend It’s a fad It’s a fag Take a drag I’m a drunk I’m a drag I’m on drugs I’m in drag Every day I wake up I don’t like the world I see I have no self esteem (The TV taught me I can never measure up To the mannequins without my fucking medicine) I’m all alone (I don’t care unless you take me to the top Give me all your love and I’ll consume it like a parasite) I’m one of the people now I’m one of the purple cloud people now One of the people now One of the purple cloud people now I'm one of the people now One of the people now One of the purple cloud people now I'm one of the people now One with the people now One of the purple cloud people now Every day I wake up I don't like the world I see This is where you fall in love With the self-destructive victim of What we've manufactured is A rock 'n roll Rock 'n roll suicide

Car crash imminent Heaven sent Hell bound Cocaine cliche The lights went out Our only inspiration comes from death's intoxication I feel collective aggravation of the human mind I used to think I was the only motherfucker losing touch But now I know I'm not alone I asked the preacher and the dealer for the answers and The only thing they had to offer had a price tag I'm just a medicated false messiah supernova You want the truth you gotta pull the fuckin’ trigger man I celebrated Jesus coming on the Rapture Day Now I'm confused about the world and how it ends and when It's so It's so nice Living in a car Living in a car crash life I saw the antichrist In every person's face He makes the children sing a song about the end of the world He wants to see you dance He wants to see you fuck He wants to see us altogether fornicate like apes I celebrated Jesus coming on the Rapture Day It's so It's so nice Living in a car Living in a car crash life

Looks like another Godzilla on the horizon I finally found the bottom of the rock The rock The rock Hit me in the face Like a tidal wave I’m a nihilist I’m violent I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I thought I saw I broke your mannequin glass skin You told the cops it was a rubber suit sex crime We’re gonna disappear to Tokyo Innuendo They’ll never find us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us Looks like another Godzilla on the horizon I finally found the bottom of the rock And it hit me in the face Like a tidal wave I’m a nihilist I’m violent I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I’m losing it I’m loving it I thought I saw I broke your mannequin glass skin You told the cops it was a rubber suit sex crime We’re gonna disappear to Tokyo Innuendo They’ll never find us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us The ocean will swallow us We’re losing it (The ocean will swallow us) We’re loving it

Carousel 04:55
I’m tired of smiling as I’m compromised By aspiring wolves in transvestite White sheep stilettos Call me a monkey But you’re an animal too I’m shuckin’ and jivin’ just like you Carousel ‘Round we go And where it stops I think we both know And in this zoo full of dead things We took a candle to a moth’s wings And watched it try to fly away Twitching, grasping, clinging to life It’s such an ugly enterprise of desperation Clawing and craven We are the hand, we are the moth And God is the flame Carousel ‘Round we go And where it stops I think we both know

about

This popular EP was originally released under the artist name "Nursing Home" but when Symbol disbanded the group, it was re-branded as a Justin Symbol release. It was recorded in New York City and mixed at Quad Studios. Some of the songs originated out of early demos Symbol made while bouncing around his home town Stamford, CT.
