i am a man with blood stained eyes and hands and a mind made to indirectly look down your shirt tired from work so I scream a beer will do and the wife is drained of life and the kids are coming home soon i am a man always looking for more than her like a poor starving family can never fill their stomachs or wallets afraid to open up because my dad never taught me how to feel only to heal and now rough skin well it covers me like a blanket i am a man at least i'm told when i feel weak and tired in the knees and my back is growing crooked from the labor and born into target practice with women as the bullseye and i can't cry until my wife or children have died but they'll outlive me because I've walked too many miles and my wife she doesn't know That I go down to the pond with my suit on and never come back only a man can am i a man? am i a man?

forest looming trying to find walking through the woods trying to find gruff walking through the woods where did he go? walking through the woods trying to find gruff walking through the woods into the unknown the answers are as a- ancient as the sun walking down the path who will we see? maybe you’ll find him hiding behind a tree walking through the woods trying to find gruff walking through the woods where did he go? walking through the woods trying to find gruff walking through the woods into the unknown where will you take us? deep into the depths unknown where will you take us? deep into the depths unknown hanoi om hanoi om hanoi om

i don’t want u to see me say goodbye to my old friends made mistakes and i know it i cause unfortunate events i cause unfortunate events unfolding what’s in front of me the cold months feel so empty i can’t help but to see the worst in everything you make it look so easy you always hold things against me all i want is to feel free i don’t want to feel empty i need a place to rest my head close my eyes and try to forget

about

The debut album from Oberlin fifth-wavers Mr. Princess takes a darker and more personal turn than their previous work. Heavily infused with bells and whistles from producer Wes Meadows and a few other familiar favorites, IKIGAI was put together over the course of 2 months in various home studios, and the camaraderie shines through in the result. Two songs are re-recordings of songs written with their previous lineup, but the bulk of this album is new and loud, ready to hit the road hard.
