about

This EP marks Kill Cupid's proudest moment yet--an EP created entirely with the band as a two piece. In fact, you won't find more than one guitar and a set of drums on any of the tracks. No bass. No computers. Just my $90 DeArmond guitar, a drum set, and a tape machine. Download it for FREE, share it, and be sure to tell us if you love it. This is for you guys...and for me. I wanted to see if we could capture our live sound, and I think we pulled it off.

I hope you all enjoy the EP. We've pretty much conceded that we aren't going to make a dime off of this stuff, so enjoy our music and share it with friends, family, and anyone else you know loves to rock. It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you can hear that in the recordings. Here's to more in the future!

Track Name: Nod and Smile: Nod and Smile by Kill Cupid

Call me a virus
Call me the plague
Just a disease you can't shake
I am your nightmare
I can't be saved
You won't ever be the same

I'll give you life advice
Just nod and smile
Nod and smile

You'll probably die inside
Just nod and smile
Nod and smile

Call it a sacrifice
Just nod and smile
Nod and smile

Trust me it's better off this way
Just fucking nod and numb your mind

I used to have big plans for the future
They'd tell me be what you can be
I turns out they were just lies
They expected nothing from me

Plan your big surprise
while you nod and smile
nod and smile

Make sure the timings right
just nod and smile
nod and smile

Revenge has taken a hold of me
One day you will all see
What hides behind these eyes
Track Name: Pay Me: Pay Me by Kill Cupid

I can talk shit
I can be loud
but this is just a ploy to fill my bank account

I wanna be rich
Make mom proud
Tell my boss I quit
I'll own this town

Pay Me

Sell it to the kids
Dumb it down
Art is dead
I'll be your clown

I just need to write a hit
You'll need, you'll want, you'll have to own
You'll steal, you'll beg, you'll cheat, you'll kneel, you'll borrow

I'll take my cut
I'm sick of the stress
Make me a product
One you'll forget
Buy me on itunes
For 99 cents!
Track Name: Shield Your Eyes: Shield Your Eyes by Kill Cupid

Like rats
like animals
just a number
just a figure
just piss
just shit
clench your fist
it's good for you

Shield Your Eyes
Shield Your Eyes
You can't hide
go to school
go to work
get debt
then die

pass it on
it never ends
start again
why?
Track Name: Chemical Reaction: Chemical Reaction by Kill Cupid

Fake runs down through your fingers
Control slips your fever lingers
Hate only makes it easier
To hide away the shame inside

Sedate oh don't be so calloused
Someday drugs will probably solve it
Just feign sell your soul and profit
Life is just a wait in line

I take drugs so I can be
I take drugs and they take me
I'm just a chemical reaction
Less human more machine

Stain me with my coffee
Inhale some more nicotine
Inject me with my heroin
Pump me full of speed

Brain food
Soul food
Pills pills pills

Brain food
Soul food
Chills chills chills
Track Name: Play: Play by Kill Cupid

Sometimes I don’t know why I play for you at all
Sometimes I don’t know why I play at all for you

I'll play for you if that's what you want me to do
but I won't enjoy it one bit
I'll get up on the stage and I'll let out my rage
but what's left to do?
There's no point to this
Is anybody listening?
I guess I don't care
You just keep sitting there
Sip on your beer
We're getting nowhere

We're getting nowhere
We're getting nowhere
Sit there hang your head
Rock and roll is fucking dead
Track Name: Pay Me (Ruthless Mix): Pay Me by Kill Cupid

I can talk shit
I can be loud
but this is just a ploy to fill my bank account

I wanna be rich
Make mom proud
Tell my boss I quit
I'll own this town

Pay Me

Sell it to the kids
Dumb it down
Art is dead
I'll be your clown

I just need to write a hit
You'll need, you'll want, you'll have to own
You'll steal, you'll beg, you'll cheat, you'll kneel, you'll borrow

I'll take my cut
I'm sick of the stress
Make me a product
One you'll forget
Buy me on itunes
For 99 cents!
