See Lucas Carpenter at work

Lucas Carpenter’s “Frowny Face Away Message” recorded on August 20, 2010 at World Cafe Live Downstairs in Philadelphia, PA. Lucas records all the parts live on stage, there are no prerecorded tracks!

The studio recording is available on iTunes off the album “EVOLUTION/MYSTERY”!

Lyrics:

I saw the photos in your tank-top and skirt
That you posted on the day we broke up
Like softcore porn you put the boys to work
Late nights online with their bedroom doors shut
Its like you’ve got your own teenage tabloid
And you’re the star typing on your PC
Emo quotes about how Love is destroyed
All the while saying its not about me
Its never about me…please.

Don’t pretend that you’re not passive-aggressive
And now don’t pretend that you’re not craving attention
Cause my generation were the ones who invented
The frowny face away message
The frowny face away message

Yeah we get it, your heart’s on your sleeve
And the only ones who understand are indie rock bands
The world is cruel and has got no sympathy
for pretty young white girls with pearls and a fake tan
no one understands

Don’t pretend that you’re not passive-aggressive
And now don’t pretend that you’re not craving attention
Cause my generation were the ones who invented
The frowny face away message
The frowny face away message

Its like a lightbulb went off
We found an arch and two dots
Strategically placed on a profile page
Would cause one thing:
“Oh my God are you okay?”
“Oh my God are you okay?”
“Oh my God are you okay?”
“OMG R U OK??!?!”
Are you gonna be alright?…
“YES….in time…”

Don’t pretend that you’re not passive-aggressive
And now don’t pretend that you’re not craving attention
Cause my generation were the ones who invented
The frowny face away message
The frowny face away message
