    Finally got these onto the webstore! The professional copies of "Boys" are back in stock.

    These aren't cased in a conventional sense, but wrapped in plastic and sandwiched between quality printed cardstock. As low-cost, low-impact, and eco-friendly as I could get. Professionally printed and burned, so likely a lot nicer than the home-brewed ones I was putting out before.

about

"Dan Got Mugged" written by Robyn Crews and originally performed by A Bird Among Men: abirdamongmen.bandcamp.com/track/dan-got-mugged
- Thanks again immensely to Robyn for letting me interpret/cover it.

lyrics

Well I’m afraid to go outside alone at night,
Because although I enjoy a mosh pit, I would die in a fight.
And in my mind every shadow hides a person waiting to jump me
So I stay inside. And refuse to leave the comfort of my
Insecurities, and all of my fears.
I may preach positivity but I fall asleep in tears.
I am small and I am weak and I am sad and I’m afraid,
on the inside. But to everybody else I look like
A mess.

You got mugged walking to the parking lot
You shoved a blade into his shoulder, let him bleed on the sidewalk.
I’d like to think if I were there I would’ve done the same but if I’m being
Honest with myself I would have let him
Take the six dollars that I hold to my name
Because being broke is preferable to the nerve searing pain
I carry a knife everywhere I go, but I will never use it
It’s more for intimidation, I’m really quite
The pacifist.

So go ahead and rob me, it won’t be hard
Hell, if you need what I’ve got that bad I’ll give it free of charge
The only way that we can show we don’t need the police
Is to treat each other as if we were
Human beings, with the same exact needs
So I’ll help you if you agree to do the same for me
This paper that we trade it has to intrinsic worth.
It's just a way for the ruling class to keep us down.

Frankly Lost is a rogue personality fronting a slowly-ever-growing band of misfits making highly energetic and earnest DIY music that feels somewhere between fringey singer-songwriter Art and ska-punk. Following in the tradition of American Folk music, their works are musically and lyrically simple, charged with emotion, and inspired by acts such as Erik Petersen’s Mischief Brew and Frank Turner. ... more
