about

This song is about toast. Do you like toast? Of course you like toast. What kind of sick deranged psychopath doesn't like toast? Especially when it's got this nice jam. And I'm not talking about Smuckers motherfuckers. The point is, you're going to like this song. For those of you who don't know about Locusts, they're these little grasshopper wannabe assholes who get all up in your grill and eat your food. So what do you do? Do you stay in your shitty barren farm and starve to death? No. You get the fuck out and move on with your life. Well sometimes friends are negative blood sucking heathens and you need to cut them off like kids who are still being breastfed at the age of 7. That's what this song is about. That and toast.

lyrics

Here's a toast
To all the friends I have that stunt my growth
I wouldn't be here if I just let go of all of you
Offer me less than I deserve
So I swerve, avoid the learning curve
And face all the things I see but don't observe
They say your actions best your words
Well, I concur
I'd like to think that I'm mature
But I'm not

And every ounce that I've got
Is keeping quiet and that says a lot
I'm still waiting for this blood to clot
So suck me dry and let my mind rot
When they all surround me
I'm worse off than they found me
Something has got to give
Befriend the positive
Listen if you want to live

Let us drink
To doing things before we stop to think
Of all the people that we cause to sink
They look like shit
But then what does that make us?
Locusts
Feeding on old trust
It's no wonder that we're met with such disgust
Maybe we should unlock their cuffs
Have we got the guts?
That answer is obvious
No, we don't

It's not what it looks like
Or is it?
Well is it?

Courage was never my strong suit
Disappointed by the truth
Stuck my head in the sand
And let the chips fall where they land
It's more than I can withstand
And these locusts bite hard
Every ounce that I've got
Is keeping quiet and that says a lot
I'm still waiting for this blood to clot

I'm still waiting for this blood to clot
