The Ballad Of The Undercrust Vinyl Pre Order
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
one Vinyl of The Ballad Of The Undercrust! We need to get 100 pre orders before we make em so we can afford to print em because running a huge brass band is expensive and we don't get paid a lot of play gigs! Sliding scale $10-$20 bucks (additional money will be used to make up for income that bandcamp eats)

due to the time orders are being placed (and this is a somewhat last minute decision) we will unfourtunatly not be able to mail these out till after our tour!

*when the music comes out online we will email you a free download link if you pre order this vinyl!

* actual album art May differ!

Includes unlimited streaming of The Ballad Of The Undercrust via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

(sorry folks, I have no idea how to chord out this song)

dont try to hide your lies
they crumble just like your lines
everybodys got cracks in beams
that make them crooks and seem
like they are stealing your life and your
possibilities but don't let them in
don't let them walk out of shop
with that theifs grin
like stealing pieces of you isnt a sin

This is just a badly drawn portrait
of a badly drawn soul
some architect did not take his time
when he sat at the drafting board

don't try to rely
on the souls of those who created you
just try to make yourself

Don't let them touch you,
with even just five fingers,
unless you want to.
