about

“‘Cargo Shorts’ is a song about the pains of having to grow up and be an adult. From co-workers pushing you to go to the bar and drink to try to feel like you’re still in university, to having to be responsible for paying bills, life is always hurling some shit at you. Some shit that would be easier to carry if you were still young and dumb enough to wear cargo shorts. No offense to people who still wear cargo shorts. This song clearly acknowledges their value. Haha.”

"Cargo Shorts" and "Afterlife" were recorded at Passion Music, a music store / recording studio in Wenzhou, China.

lyrics

I don't want to get ready for it
and I don't want to go out.
Please, don't pressure me into it.
It's my time. Let me make it count.
You're only trouble that I don't need.
I don't need.
Leave me in rubble. Let me bleed.
Let me bleed.
Struggle for nothing. Break my knees.
Break my knees.
I'll put them in cargo shorts to keep them with me.
Keep them with me.

I don't want to get ready for it.
Now all my powers knocked out.
It's too hot. My AC is turned off.
Soon I'll be a stain on the ground.

You're down to double
the agony. Agony.

Make me your pupil.
Teach suffering.
Suffering.
At least it's something I'm learning.
I'm learning.
Knowledge in my cargo shorts.
They're too heavy.
Falling off me.
Hey!
