Billions of stars in the galaxy
only one shines down on me
Millions of babies born everyday still
one and only one ever held any sway with me
A tidal wave and a broken jaw
it's okay I'll just walk it off
Leave my body here on the shore
could be worse could be nuclear war okay
Let's let those bad feelings get buried again
Let's let those bad feelings get buried again
and we'll never ever let 'em back in
no we'll never (ever) ever (ever) let 'em back in
Let's let those bad bad feelings get buried again
I don't know my heart anymore
it slipped away it was getting bored
and I don't know my mind anymore
it fell apart so I put it in a drawer
Did that ship sail in the night?
Did you fuck up in your life?
Are you worried? (are you worried?)
Are you blurry? (are you blurry?)
All the time
Let's let those bad feelings get buried again
Let's let those bad feelings get buried again
and we'll never ever let 'em back in
no we'll never (ever) ever (ever) let 'em back in
Let's let those bad bad feelings get buried again
Get Buried! Get Buried again!

When the darkness falls on you
What will you do?
What will you do?
When the holidays are through
What will you do?
What will you do?
I'm not thinking
I'm not thinking about it
I'm not thinking
I'm not thinking about it
When the poison starts to flow
Will you panic? Will you let it show?
When the procession fades away
Will you linger oh will you stay?
I'm not thinking
I'm not thinking about it
(I'm not thinking, I'm not not thinking)
I'm not thinking
I'm not thinking about it
(I'm not thinking, I'm not not thinking)
When the solitude you sought
Leaves you only lonely
When the structure to the plot
Is predictably safe it's okay it's okay
Cause caution is a coffin you've come to respect
Oh yeah caution is a coffin and it's all you've got left
My home is wrecked my car is wrecked my bike is wrecked my life is
I'm not thinking no I'm not thinking about it
(Not not thinking I'm not not thinking)
Well I'm not thinking and I know you're not thinking about it
(I never was)
Not not thinking I'm not not thinking
(Thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' I'm not thinkin')
I'm not thinking about it
Every morning and every afternoon too
I get this feeling of impending doom
Like a bomb's gonna drop
Like my heart's just gonna stop
I can't sleep I can't sleep
When I can hear my heartbeat

An arrow strung lightly misses its mark
I have no regrets just a weak arm
you can count me out
you can leave me behind
you can count me out
you can leave me behind
I'm just sneaker fodder a slug to the slaughter
I ain't going anywhere oh no my soul already skipped town
and if you see it please tell it
I'll be around
yeah I'll be around

about
Get Buried! is not only a song that landed California based The Creepy Crawlies on multiple end-of-year lists in 2011, it’s also the title of their full-length debut album.
Throughout Get Buried! college friends Chris and Kate trade melodic vocal lines while playing subtly interlocking arrangements on their respective instruments, guitar and organ, a perhaps familiar sonic palette that through its simplicity only serves to highlight the many tiny inventions within each song, which tend to veer off into unexpected, but in retrospect well thought out, directions. Together they create alchemic music that can transform psychic pain into pop pleasure, feeling small into a wall of sound, and denial into a triumphant anthem.
Before emerging into the daylight with an electric guitar in hand to write songs from an existential bug’s eye view, Chris Donlon was the lead songwriter of the lo-fi experimental acoustic folk twee duo Chris & Mollie, whose concept album The Palm Tree garnered attention from online magazine CokeMachineGlow, who called it “one of the most interesting records of the year” in 2007. Kate contributed backing vocals to The Palm Tree, creating the foundation for what would become The Creepy Crawlies.
Independently recorded in apartments and living rooms of Los Angeles and San Francisco from 2008 to 2011, then mastered by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces), Get Buried!’s long journey reflects its creator’s patient and shy temperament. “I’m never usually in a rush to finish things,” says Chris. “I’m pretty comfortable keeping things to myself. [smiles]”
When Chris was six he remembers being asked by his kindergarten classmates, “why are you so quiet?” His response? “I would just sheepishly shrug my shoulders,” says Chris. “I’ve always been pretty introverted. I was drawn to music because it creates the opportunity to build your own universe to burrow inside of for awhile, especially when the real world gets a little rough.”
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the world. What’s not easy is turning these feelings of doubt, uncertainty and fragility into heartfelt, catchy, and surprisingly fun songs. Yet that’s precisely what The Creepy Crawlies have done with Get Buried!; a unique concoction, which, like a snowball filled with razor blades, is made up of equal parts delight and dread.
"This male-female duo has an organic, seamless interplay. They just sound good together, you know what I mean? The music has a pop surface which contrasts with a more subtle wall of sound. Like the two voices, it seems expertly blended." – Those Who Dig
"It’s carefree playful nature brings me back to one of my most beloved and long dead bands, The Unicorns. Let’s keep an eye on these guys, k?" - A Feast of Beast
"Not only are the songs here good but they have made me giddy with excitement." – Stagedive (Malta)
