Verse 1: Well, I woke up to find I was dying A daydreaming sort of sensation Perhaps it’s something to steer clear of But there’s no use in trying now I’ll waste my time playing with matches Even risking burning my house down I hope a god will finally save me But I don’t think that will work out now Chorus: And there’s no way I’ll make it I can’t avoid the meteor I’m just biding my time (na na na) And well past the sun set Insomniatic dinosaur I can’t pretend that I’m fine (na na na) Verse 2: And yet I can’t help but feel I’m drowning The waves are strong and I’m far from the shore The current sends me out further So I’ll just let myself be swept out (oh yeah) Chorus 2: So is this what I get Dodging shadows in the sky I bury my head into the ground (na na na) And well past the sun set Insomniatic dinosaur I can’t pretend that I’m fine (na na na) Chorus 3: And there’s no way I’ll make it I can’t avoid the meteor I’m just biding my time (na na na) And well past the sun set Insomniatic dinosaur I can’t pretend that I’m fine (na na na)

Verse 1: Oh, I’m done with all these games now I need your answers yeah Suppose you have already won it It’s all over yeah Spider The webs you’ve spun Catch everyone And it’s too late for us to Escape Your candy striped legs Are lost in my head Chorus: Ride on Shooting Star! And we will all go with it Say whatever you want to And we will have your back Verse 2 You know, I’m done with all these games now You won fair and square The rounds already over It’s all over yeah Sniper The shots you’ve made Were all bullseyes And it’s too late for us to Escape You point your strike And we surrender Chorus 2: Ride on Shooting Star! There’s no reason to doubt it All you say is true We’ll all believe it Ride on Shooting Star! And we will all go with it Say whatever you want to And we will have your back

about

Through the relative comfort we feel living in the police state that we have the option of taking for granted, we end up being complicit in the violence perpetuated against black and brown people every day. It is part of our duty as artists to help those in distress transcend their pain, through our art, and through our economic support as well.

We are releasing a cover of two songs by one of our collective favorite bands The Pillows, made famous by the FLCL soundtrack. All proceeds from this release will be donated to Reclaim the Block, an organization that speaks to us due to the fact that our bassist, Niko, lives in the Twin Cities.

“LAST DINOSAUR || SHOOTING STAR”

We encourage our fans to additionally donate money to
- Black Visions Collective
- The Bail Project
- Facing History
- Your local bail fund

Much Love,

Semaphore
