REAL TROUBLE

this is the story of three boys
and what happened to them
might have happened to you
they had a plan
but they didn't stop to think
what the consequences of that plan might be
and now they're in trouble
real trouble
what we did was wrong
and we all know it now
we shouldn't do it
we just shouldn't
i know i was right
something might happen
might even start a fire
somebody might get hurt
it would be all my fault
golly what do you suppose
'gon happen to us now
and what about you?
you know how you felt then
but it was too late
the damage was done
why?
you're not the only ones
who done stuff around here

SAVE ME
03:52

|
save me
exponentially aligned
to the heavens
but there's nothing
left to find
save me
from a cyclical decline
spin circles around numbers
more than life
save me
from this supernova end
rend heart from head
and scatter to the wind
to the wind
to the wind
to the wind
compel me
into beliefs I can't refuse
the evidence is stacked
that we're already right
tell me
that there is nothing left to lose
come gather up your dirt
and ride into the sun

MAKE IT

|
I wonder if you'll ever make it
I wonder if you'll ever care
I wonder if you'll ever take it
I wonder if you'll even dare
until wonderful and
undeniably and effortlessly
finds you
I wonder if you'll ever take it
I wonder if you'll even dare
I wonder if you'll ever fake it
I wonder if you're ever scared
of forever wandering
and welcoming and wondering
inside of you

CABBAGES AND KINGS
04:26
|
|||
|
let's start by meeting a leading authority on the subject
a giant of limitless power at man's command
doctor atom
and where was it science found that giant?
ships
and shoes
and ceiling wax
and even very large airplanes
the solar system
and cabbages and kings
though good sense requires
that all of us prepare for any eventuality
wisdom demands too that we take time
to understand this force
because here in fact is the answer
to a dream as old as man himself
ships
and shoes
and ceiling wax
and even very large airplanes
the solar system
and cabbages and kings

GROW UP
01:33
|
|||
|
Each is an individual
but in one important way they're all alike
he was still showing violent temper
when little things when wrong for him
that sort of behaviour we call
an infantile reaction
how can we help him get rid of these
leftovers from childish behaviour
different parts of our personalities
grow at different rates
some of us never grow up entirely
so the question is
why doesn't he grow up?

Hero Is Not Strong Vancouver, British Columbia
Hero is Not Strong is the musical pseudonym of Marlon Wiebe, taken from a poor translation of a video game. Raised in small town Saskatchewan on NES games, ukuleles, and figuring out how to make weird QBASIC things on his 286.
Hero Is Not Strong recommends:
In Death a Dream of Color

Dark, organic, and exploratory with recurring themes. I didn't know you could express so much with instrumental chiptune until this album.
