about

One of the band's debut songs, and their namesake. Originally part one of a two-part song.

lyrics

I've been pulling on chains for awhile
Dragging all my albums and my books for miles
I'd sell them all but they ain't worth nothing to nobody but me.
Thought I'd be less sad if I spent this winter indoors
But Ohio doesn't really have a winter anymore.
At least the fumes aren't as bad here as they are up north
And I'm grateful.

But I don't want to meet anyone
I'm afraid of all my neighbors.
Got rid of my old telephone
Because I can't call upon my savior.

I lost his number in the fire.
I am numb and you're a liar.

Everybody moved out of the old house
Except my shadow, he wouldn't leave, they had to smoke him out.
And when they finally pulled him from the wreckage, he looked exactly like me.
Now everybody thinks I'm him and I'm a coward!
That train is a dragon; this apartment is a tower
And when I slay him, all my friends are gonna love me again.

But I don't want to meet anyone
I'm afraid of all my neighbors.
Got rid of my old telephone
Because I can't call upon my savior.

I lost his number in the fire.
I am numb and you're a liar.

But we need each other.
But we need each other.

If synth pop wandered into a dark alley and found itself viciously beaten by a gang of guitar distortion and layered rhythms, it might sound an awful lot like The Town Monster.

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
