Everyday I see news on the media about the destruction of our beautiful planet, to make profit off of fossil fuels. The countless acts of genocide and mistreatment of people due to the colour of their skin. The segregation and alienation of sexual identity, gender, and the mentally ill that are endlessly stigmatized, ignored, and berated in plain sight. Politicians and corporations that continuously ignore the voices of progressive individuals who are concerned about the safety and freedom of everybody in our communities. For them, it doesn't comply with their agenda of public control, and their sick ideals of sponging wealth from the people and right back into the pockets of the billionaires. Myself, and others are sick of this unjust bigotry that has plagued the crust of this Earth with its greedy hands. we want to see the world change for the better, we need to care about each other and the planet that we live on, before we bring doom upon ourselves. All of these things make me feel like my future is just a dream that will be destroyed by humanities constant gluttony of wealth and control. The fires have ignited and the fire burns beneath our feet.

Armageddon Bop 02:02

People of all, gather round and put your hands together for the greatest extinction event of all history. The catastrophic end of human kind. Fossil fuels in the air Scorching nature to despair Poison rivers flowing out Leeching to the drinking spout. Protected land sold for cash Burn the forest down to ash Gotta make room for industry They never bother to plant a tree. Nothing can compare To Human-kinds destructive force I see a crack on the floor Beneath the man’s skyscraper. CEO’s don’t give a fuck All just looking to make a buck The greed of man takes it’s toll I think our time is now! Buckle up your seatbelt folks because we aren't coming back from this one! Armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop The End is surely Nigh. Armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop I can see it in the sky. Armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop Its time to say goodbye. Armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop It’s the armageddon bop WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! Asteroids falling down Burning cities to the ground The world is being wiped clean I didn’t think I’d die this way! Deadly sickness in the air My god I can’t go anywhere Now it’s time to face the facts We’re all fucking DOOMED!

The sidewalks cracking behind me As I’m walking down the street I can’t run fast enough I can't go quick enough. The sidewalks cracking behind me As Im walking down the street Nothing I can do to stop it It’s coming real fast, Its catching up! The Earth is splitting open And its all our fault. Environmental chaos is in the air And no-one really seems to give a care The sidewalks cracking behind me The sidewalks cracking behind me Open up your eyes and look around The world we know is going down.

Corporations of mass destruction Leech the roots that lead to the forest. Pillage the ground Suck the earth dry The wallet leads blind The end of earth life. Greed Is a plague That we’re expected to obey. Green Will fade As we die in our own filth.

Living In A Pandemic 05:29
lyrics

I want to break free Global Pandemic Strikes. Deadly sickness in the air. Covid Controls Our life. Pestilence of despair. Mental Health Wearing Thin. Isolation takes it’s toll. Business profits from Death. Corrupted forces guide the way. Living in a pandemic Enveloped in paranoia Death tolls surging higher We all live in the age of sickness. Welcome to the plague of the 21st century. Hide, in darkness Creeping infection Pressure stresses economic repression. Death of loved ones this has to be stopped. The scourge of disease spreads catastrophically. Mask Up Your face. This is to protect each other. Step back Give them Space. Someones life is in your hands. Living in a pandemic Pestilence of despair.

about

Recorded In Calgary Alberta between 2019 - 2020.

The World Is Probably Going To Burn Before I Get Old Anyways is an album that reflects and critiques the social, environmental, and political situation that we are faced with today.

We live in an age where the environment is beneath the needs of industry and is torn to shreds to help fuel the hungry mouths of corporate bank accounts, regardless of the cost.

Individuals and groups are systematically targeted and discriminated just because of their race, sexual identity, culture, beliefs, and economic status.

Struggling amidst a global Covid-19 pandemic right wing politicians sacrifice human lives in order to pursue personal economic gains that drive the death tolls across the world.

All of these and more injustices to our earth, life, and people make my blood boil. These songs are sonic expressions to my anger and anxiety of these problems that we face day to day. If we don't make a change and learn to care for each other and our planet, we shall all burn on the desolate crust of what will once be called earth.
