A Few Years ago I saw you happy and alive then someone came down here to make you strive fruits are delicious but this person wanted you to die I don't know where I'm going I don't how I feel but I know you I can't be alright I cry and tear each night I wish she was by my side at night I turn out the lights I don't know where I'm going I don't how I feel but I know you and she's gone forever she won't come back criminals are insane now she's lying flat cause the fruit was filled with poison violence and crime don't make a happy life now these criminals are in jail and I'm not feeling well I dream mirages she died from the venomous oranges Lyrics by Brian Donaldson and TJ Penzone

Antisocial irrational I want to kill but in my mind I don't want to be a criminal alone in my room I wallow the truth I can't swallow everyday is another shade of gray the people we love die always alone in my room I wallow the truth I can't swallow I sit on my chair I'm self aware no one is around me I cry in my sleep I cry Will I ever be fine?

Gray 02:48
I'm acting so rude No brightness in my mood I hate everyone society I especially hate you I'm never happy always feeling lame every hour I'm gray dull inconsiderate irrational but not fixed I hate myself I try to smoke some pixie sticks I'm never happy always feeling lame every hour I'm gray life left astray Brian Anthony Abraham Donaldson for life gray

Boys Do Cry 03:47
I'm not happy anymore I shut my room door I sleep for days morbid so dark always I live a life of lies I look at you I hide I can never peacefully be satisfied I loved someone but I had to break it up I'm so stupid why did I rush I live a life of lies I look at you I hide I can never peacefully be satisfied not at all I miss you I really do in life I try to apply but the truth is all you boys and girls know this boys do cry I miss you the girl I used to love

So these boys of no education want precious jewelry so they plan a plot but then get blockade by the cops so now they want to attack with guns strapped on their backs they shoot but a flash of bullets damage them so they thought they would win stealing will always be a sin they will go to the depths of hell so I was in college I was on the internet heard about the bad news the criminals identified were my friends soul gangstas are nuts I told them no deal I told them I need college a degree would help I will always find a way to succeed money is hard to get but they wanted too much greed the cash it's a habit it helps us live but some have no learning ability child's of bad parents God Didn't Show Them The Way rest in peace for the devil brought them their end life said goodbye for the cops defense made them die I guess they shouldn't have test the power of elite force men now they will be gone forever never coming back the diamond stealers got the bullets straight thru their heads
10.
Blacula 03:45
vile is not my mind blood is my life I treasure the bite into yr scab let me get it from yr neck it taste so sweet you screaming again and again I'm Insane I scare people each day I wear a black cape sunlight can kill me I bite with my fangs I'm not average I fear I will get shot with a silver bullet I guess I scare ya I guess I never told I'm a vampire Blacula losing self control
11.
it's cold and dark I don't think you should be outside you sleep alone in a box and nothing is right I wish I could let you into my home I just hate watching you stare down that road the alleyway of murder where the poor can't live oh that alleyway of darkness and distraught will kill you so just run and hide dark nights collide and everyone walks on by the poor are helpless in the night they cry he was stabbed in the chest poor fool his life was grotesque the stories on the news were so dark and drone the alleyway of murder where the poor can't live oh that alleyway of darkness and distraught will kill you so just run and hide don't go into the alleyways you'll see yr grave Lyrics by Brian Donaldson and Will Forthman

Midnight 05:43
so I'm stuck in Wantagh got to take the train to get to Baldwin walking home alone some nights are so drone well look how the lights shine at this time well look how the lights shine at midnight so the night is torture my feet move but I can't take the pressure my house is far but I must be brave for I'm afraid of the dark well look how the lights shine at this time well look how the lights shine at midnight it's so blinding fluorescent neon I can see this night being long sometimes I never feel fine sometimes I can't be sublime but look at me alone walking home it's midnight

BDEE + the venomous oranges New York

BDEE formed the venomous oranges back in 2008 and the band's latest incarnation has been together since 2015. Their full length "dark/ambient" dropped in 2016 & "WARPSPEED EP" in 2018. 2023's "ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM EP" refines their sound even further in hopes neurodivergents can relate to.
