lyrics

Follow shadows to the back of my mind. I see ghosts, and devils, and piles of wasted time. It's hot, it's humid, a dangerous hull, but I resonate with the one that is my home.
My souls a swamp, my mind's a mosquito, it's drained the life from me.
I can see the teeth of the devil in the heat, and the rising tides, and the streets.
We're not afraid of catching viruses or a disease, but i guess that's just what human beings have become to be.
Setting free from this depression that I fear. Get me on the first ship out of here. I see a sail, it's rising, and I want to catch a draft, but it feels like I'm sinking inside of this life raft.
Whatever happened to hope? I don't remember what it feels like to cope.
Whatever happened to peace? I don't remember what it feels like to sleep.
Everyday is just a constant war; I AM FIGHTING, AND I AM BLEEDING!
I can see eyes right behind the door; I don't know why these demons keep feeding upon this mind inside my head that's constantly running, and it never stops, but I hope that one day it just might, right before the weight causes me to drop.
I will move on I will stay strong! I'll seek immunity in the dawning of a rising sun! Finally be able to breathe, instead of coughing and choking; this spirits a blaze but now it's just smoking. The sight of change is under the tide for I...

I am the mighty conch shell, for I am the mighty conch shell! A strong defense forged in the pressures of hell, a wetland marsh that's not ready to sell. What happened to the sawgrass, and the orange groves? To the cypress trees in the land of Seminole? We've gone to far, we've lost control, but I build this shell so I will fight for home!
For I am the mighty conch shell, for I am the mighty conch shell! A strong defense forged in the pressures of hell, for I am the mighty conch shell. I will learn to find a spirit here! Human beings are the one thing to fear! This land's fading away with every year (x2), but I still stand here, and I still stay here. I will fight hard and I will fight well for I am the mighty conch shell!

Dirty Harry Miami, Florida

My name is Dirty Harry, and I love music, mainly all sorts of it. I'm in another band with a really rad dude named Patrick the Pirate (look him up here on bandcamp for our 2 splits). You can find it here on bandcamp just type in Dirty Pirates.
