Enemy is Me 03:31
Dying just to see what tomorrow will be If today was the last, then I lived too fast I bought a gun, got too tired to run There ain't nuttin strange, we're all weird in different ways Tired of sitting 'round in silence trying trying to find what fits Might not say, the "best, but I know what hits Local legends, what a tale to wag Feeling lonely, dress to fit life's drag The enemy is see in me Will never be The light Took out all connections What a shitty last impression When impulse feelings hit I sure feel like a prick Stand in the mirror and say That I can wash away All those times i hate When i had to negotiate Who are they anyway? What gives them the right? Makes you sure feel forced To give em a fight Gonna stand up straight and talk It's best to walk the walk Cause freedom comes quick When you know who you are And you don't pretend The enemy I see in me Will never be the light The enemy I see in me Will never cease to fight

Saw ya singing by yourself on a pretend mic Sure made the chorus look dope Eyes pierced me to the bone Stepping on landmines Love in a puff of smoke A little more and I'm lost again You knocked me off my guard Thought I had it straight Now I deliberate Flushed out by a wild card -------Chorus------- If you need a hand to knock em dead Or to help you up when you're wasted If you wanna boogie If you gonna boogie Best better boogie with me -------------------- Begging with fury Insides in a knot Knew I had to try Couldn't let it rest, I had to confess 'Fore I'm second to another guy Wanna rule the word? Make your own rules? Tired of just looking the part Queen for a day will always go away I saw bonnie and clyde from the start -------Chorus------- Remember nothing lasts Everything will break It's all good to give new a try Ever if the tires squeal burning out too quick See you soon, it's never good-bye On and on cause everything gets old So show me what you want I got what you need I crave what you feed Sorry if my delivery is too blunt, but whatever Chorus (and then) If you wanna laugh when you might cry Tired of the traps of being too shy? If you wanna boogie If you're gonna boogie Best better boogie with me

about

John Kirby Jr. and the New Seniors Asheville, North Carolina

John Kirby Jr. and the New Seniors were born from fire under a full moon in the winter of 2019. The three instantly connected and vowed their allegiance to rock and roll in both form and spirit. "We get to the chorus quick.. while also sticking it to the man...". 

"Punk/metal with a bouquet of guitar based pop", "A cross between Westerberg and Petty" and "Nicely crafted power punk".
