lyrics

Beach towns are so quiet this time of year

Along the empty boardwalk
Where the joyous shouts still echo
A boy walks alone
The sky overhead is grey
As he walks past the ghetto
Abandoned by the tourists who pollute his home

Not that long ago he would have joined them
Holding the arm of a beautiful girl
With a pearl ring on her finger

A moment of eye contact would solidify
Where fates had aligned
And when she cried out:
“free me from this hell”
He obliged


And then that summer
When the place was wretched
She let the waves wash away her tears
And as she walked alone
Down the atrocious boardwalk
She begged the bullet would remove her fears

From his place above the crab cake shack
And through the scope of his rifle
He could tell who craved the sweet escape of death

A moment of eye contact would solidify
Where fates had aligned
And when she cried out:
“free me from this hell”
He obliged


The wood planks were in need of a fresh coat of stain
Although brown would have been better than red
The world is full of people who want to be dead

And cause they feel his pain
He would spare them

A moment of eye contact would solidify
Who wanted to die
And all the people screamed out:
“free us from this hell”
He obliged

A moment of eye contact would solidify
Who wanted to die
And all the people screamed out:
“free us from this hell”
He obliged

Beach towns are so quiet this time of year

about

Sam Seibert image

Sam Seibert Honolulu, Hawaii

With a voice like a chainsaw, dipped in honey, and set on fire, Sam and his band effortlessly blend lush, quick flowing arrangements of hard-hitting drums, guitars, strings, and winds, with raw, passionate lyrics, soaring melancholic melody lines, and pop sensibility.  He has been compared to bands like Twenty One Pilots, Death, John Lennon, Slayer, and “if The Beatles or Billy Joel was metal.” ... more
