SLIDING SCALE – New Video

LYRICS:

SLIDING SCALE

This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong

I’m coming apart now
Soul-sick in my heart now
I can’t even start now
So run right along

I’m lying in bed bow
So leave me for dead now
Get out of my head now
I’m not very strong

On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way… Sliding scale… Sliding scale

This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong

I’m not a machine here
Quit acting so mean dear
I’ll fix it up next year
If that’s not too long

The world’s a bit gray now
it’s just not my day now
Can’t go out and play now
I do not belong

On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way……………….. Sliding scale…. Sliding Scale…… Sliding scale….Sliding scale

This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong
This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong

Trauma Lama Ding Dong ~New Video!

Trauma changes us fundamentally. We live with it, we adjust, adapt, we carry on and often think we have contained it. It is the ultimate trickster, however, and can so surprise-hello you just when you think you have put it away. .. and so we dress it up, we dress it over…

If you or someone you know is dealing with trauma or PTSD, The Repressions understand and dedicate this song to you.

Unicorn Show ~ July 9, 2016

The Repressions had a wondrously colorful time at the 40th Annual Unicorn-on-a-Kebabathon Show. They were terribly awkward emcees to a night of magic and bad banter. They were enthralled to share the stage with Zoe Over Zero, Space Jump Live, The Greenstreets, Dirty Wings, and Nelly Dubarry. Thanks to Justin Finley, Irish Whiskey Bar and everyone who came out that night. So much glitter!
