about

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you? Moonraker is punk band from Santa Clarita/Oxnard, CA. Listen ... more

Track Name: Bleeding
You misunderstood you're understanding,
You thought you had it all figured out,
You remembered to stop remembering,
The times you fucked up and fucked over yourself,
Now that I'm not around,
Does it still feel like I'm holding you down,
I bet you're shaking,
From all the risks you're not taking,

Nothing ever gets resolved,
Just more disagreement,
Nothing ever gets better,
Just a little bit different

Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
From your ears ringing,
Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
From your ears ringing,
Get up and get out but don't go too far,

I can taste the empty words,
I'm lying just to make you sure,
I'm not the mistake that you're making,
With broken teeth we both scream,
Watch me fall apart at the seams,
You're not the only one with a black line through your family tree

Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
From your ears ringing,
Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
Are you bleeding, Are you bleeding,
From your ears ringing,
Get up and get out but don't go too far,
Track Name: Admirable
If you read my palm cover to cover,
You'd know there's nothing interesting about the author,
Threw out my arm grasping at straws,
Broke the fingers off my monkey's paw,

Oh, take back every word you say,
Oh, you're lying low, I'm lying in a grave,

You said that it was admirable, I guess that's what you thought,
But I tried to grab life by the horns in the middle of a china shop,
I flew to high, now my charred wings are covered in aloe,
They're cut down to size, next time I'll stick to the shadows,

Oh, take back every word you say,
Oh, you're lying low, I'm lying in a grave,
Oh, I'm trying not to drown,
Oh, I'm trying not to let you down,

You asked me for my secret, but I must have forgot it,
I keep my money where my mouth is, but my mouth's not in my wallet,
You asked me for my secret, but I must have forgot it,
I keep my money where my mouth is, but my mouth's in everyone else's pockets,

Oh, take back every word you say,
Oh, you're lying low, I'm lying in a grave,
Oh, I'm trying not to drown,
Oh, I'm trying not to let you down,
Track Name: Allons-Y
Holding onto a vivid dream I woke up from years ago,
Grey skies, your eyes, oceans taking away sand,
You were there again in the night and away when I opened my eyes,
You flicker like a flame in my mind, a fire that just won't die

Painting fictions in my head,
Dancing around things I should've said,
Grey friends in chains coming nightly,
These bloodshot eyes hide the best lies,

These words can't carry but they hold a feeling,
Just like this rope holds down the ceiling,
If I could I'd swing away close my lungs no poisons getting in today,
I'm like a scarecrow in the wind, I'm not alive I'm just pretend,
Stand me up and I'll fall down so stick me deep into the ground,

Painting fictions in my head,
Dancing around things I should've said,
Grey friends in chains coming nightly,
These tear soaked eyes hide the best lies,

Wasn't ready for goodbye and I'll probably never be,
These shaky hands can't hold back all my memories,
Wasn't ready for goodbye so I think I wanna see,
How long it takes to dissolve all this memory
Track Name: Hemingway's Lemonade (Honest to God Shit Sippers)
Got an empty bank account reflected in these dead eyes,
I don't know why I expected more from life,
Now that I've been drinking I wish that I hadn't,
Look at the sunrise it burns my fucking eyes,

From the bottom of this bottle, from the bottom of my heart,
From the bottom of this barrel,

And I won't ever get it right so I can't fucking sleep tonight,
My hands are on the women but I don't know where to put them,
There's nothing here to drink so all I can do is think,
About how I can't get my hands on the girl,

From the bottom of the bottle, from the bottom of my heart,
From the bottom of this barrel,
From the bottom of this bottle, from the bottom of my heart,
From the bottom of the barrel, I've been killing myself for years,

This is how nothing feels,
And nothing feels good,
This is how nothing feels,
And nothing feels good,
This is how nothing feels,
And nothing feels good,
This is how nothing feels,
And nothing feels good,


And nothing feels good,

And I've been killing myself for years,
Killing myself for years,
Killing myself for years,
Killing myself for years
Track Name: The Gentleman Ghost
I'm off the deep end, off the diving board mid cannonball,
Lets see how long my brain can hold its breath under alcohol,
And if you got your hands on me you'd reach right down my throat,
You'd pull my rib cage out and play it like a fucking xylophone,

I'm poisoning whoever touches me,
There's no one else my age wiping frosting off their resume,
But the other day, (when I saw you)
Singing over the train (that's when I knew)
If there's no light in your tunnel you're just sitting in a cave,

I wasted all my money on, records in different colors,
And comics with variant covers,
But if you talked to everyone you'll find I'm more polite then most,
And I can talk to anyone but Instead I'm chasing ghosts,

Just like my name was Pac-Man,
Or Doctor Peter Venkman,

I'm poisoning whoever touches me,
There's no one else my age wiping frosting off their resume,
But the other day, (when I saw you)
Singing over the train (that's when I knew)
If there's no light in your tunnel you're just sitting in a cave,

Desperate times, depressing measures,
As I self apply, thick layers of tar and feathers
Track Name: How to Stop an Exploding Man
Take a deep breath, and wait for the light,
Your last cigarette tonight,
They say you don't have long, they say you're too weak to go on,
I wish that they were wrong,

I won't pretend its been forever, I've known you since Feburary of last year,
But that's long enough to know, that you can't just give up hope,
And sit around and wait for something utterly unspeakable,

And I don't know if the blow can be softened,
You're coughing you're way to a coffin,
And now I'm coughing too,

Bury my pain, deep enough to kill canaries,
And run away, cause everything is temporary,
You told me stories about vampires and zombies,
But nothing's ever scared me like this,

And I don't know if the blow can be softened,
You're coughing you're way to a coffin,
And now I'm coughing too,

It's way too soon,

If your liver was as strong as your heart,
If your liver was as strong as your heart,
If your liver was as strong as your heart,
You wouldn't be falling apart,
Falling apart,

And I don't know if the blow can be softened,
You're coughing you're way to a coffin,
And now I'm coughing too, I wish it wasn't true,

But there's nothing I'm regretting,
So there's no point in forgetting you
Track Name: Live and Die Here
We're standing here on this bridge that we built for ourselves,
And you know I'd burn it down just as well,

Cause I don't need, no I don't need,
I don't need your help

We're standing here at the gates of hell,
But I got here all by myself,

And I don't need,
Well I don't need your help,

And I don't need,

Maybe I'll walk the streets at night,
half drunk, more or less in love,
With the idea that being here is as good as being anywhere,
Track Name: Never Get Over
I'm starting to wear thin,
I'm getting used to never smiling again,
You took it all away,
What's the point of even getting up today,

They say the rain will dry,
But hindsight doesn't look so clear through bitter bloodshot eyes,
My good days feel so bad,
You were the best dream that I ever had,

There's something I'll never get over,
I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm alright,
And when you return,
I'll forget all the lessons I learned,

Four years is long enough to feel this way,
I'm not out to sea, I'm drowning in the bay,
My hopes and dreams became just that,
Lonely aspiration, drunk asphyxiation,
Silver lining, lead lining my boots,
As I sink into my head,
Do you remember when you remembered me,
Did you dismember all our memories,

There's something I'll never get over,
I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm alright,
And when you return,
I'll forget all the lessons I learned,

I'm locking my door,
I won't take your calls,
I'm straightening my jacket,
And padding the walls,

There's something I'll never get over,
I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm alright,
There's something I'll never get over,
And when you return,
I'll forget all the lessons I learned
