about

A Swagger Thief is like a "doppelganger." We like to make music about mental health, the modern mundane, indecision, and the human condition of "the future."

lyrics

Head lost in a sea full of factors
Turn my neck one-eighty, so I’m walking backwards
There’s ten anagrams in the palindrome’s riddle
Grab me and crease me and fold me up the middle

My personas overlap, so my sanity slip
Watch me stumble and fall and lose my grip
Watch me struggle, watch me burn, watch me fail
Watch me turn into a fuckin’ snake and swallow my tail

I’m the void, goddammit.
So, watch me devour
Whatchu think you’ve got a better way of wasting an hour?
Whatchu know about sittin’ watchin’ spilled milk sour?

Position fetal crawlin’ on the floor
When you crawlin’ in the corner
Fuck that, I’m a motherfuckin’ foreigner
Steppin’ in the land of the blind

Y’all find the hive mind divine as it dissolves your ego
Got me askin’, “Why are shrooms still illegal?”
So where do we go? Months change and breaking the habit
These wolves in my head got me runnin’ like a rabbit

Grab it, stab it, watch it bleed
We do what the fuck we gotta do to satisfy the need.
Ain’t no real strangers to desperation and hunger;
Tell me, who know bravery and empathy and wonder?

It’s all one blunder packed into the blunderbuss
Locked, loaded and shot into the cosmic dust
Why trust?
Why Love?
Why bleed?
Why Cry?
Why wake up in the morning and open your eyes?
Just Sleep.

Fuck That.
Lyrics by Philip Nancollas
