Hex Girlfriend EP

This album is an ode to a surf rock band that lived a life too short, performing only one show before its premature death. Griffin Driskell played bass and sang in the original band by the same name as the album, Hex Girlfriend, along with fellow musicians Camilo Herrera Matiz (Guitar/Vocals), Roddy Davis (Guitar), and Corey Gonsalves (Drums). Griffin co-wrote the original music in Spring 2015, but after the death of Hex Girlfriend, the music was lost. A year later, Griffin resurrected and reanimated the tunes from the grave, reworked and rewrote the songs from the ground up, giving them new life in the light of witchcraft and living in suburbia. All songs, except "Suburban Youth" the originally planned single, received nearly complete makeovers. Hex Girlfriend EP was released on the anniversary of the first, last, and only show of Hex Girlfriend.

Through the Pines

(Verse 1) Spaced face, No taste
Staring out, caring not
And no glimpse of Grace
But hey

No thoughts, no breaks
Another night not feeling right
And you're filled with hate
But hey

(Verse 2) Spaced face, No taste
Staring out, caring not
And no glimpse of Grace
But hey

No thoughts, no breaks
Another night not feeling right
And you're filled with hate
But hey

(Chorus) And you ought
You ought to know
When you feel alone
I'm right there by your side

And by your side
I mean right behind
You through the pines
Stalking every step in the night

Popping Pills

Popping pills
Life's not real
Popping pills
Pop punk kills
And emo feels
And popping pills

Popping pills
No more feel
Popping pills
Pop pop kill
Life stands still
And popping pills

Popping pills
Floor tom fills
Popping pills
Writing wills
And paying bills
And popping pills

Hex Girlfriend

Let me explain this difficult girl,
We talked about the Moon and the Earth.
I was blinded, fell in love with her.
We talked about God, and it’s still going on.
And we talked with our delicate words.
We'd run around in circles and laugh.
Shoulda been careful, she talked to the woods,
And asked the trees what they thought of me.

About six years later,
And I'd come home from work.
The lights were all out in our house.
A candle flickered from some room beyond,
And there was chanting to some god,
Some god named Amaan.
And then I saw it.
I saw it appear. It burst right out into flesh.
A dark character was standing over her.
A sword drawn in his clawed hands.

So I'm gonna tell you a story. This one time I walked into my house and immediately slipped on a giant pile of flowers.
See my girlfriend, she was really romantic, always trying to get me to try out something that she saw in some magazine.
So like any other day that I walk into a situation like this I'm a nice guy and play along but see this time was different.
She always lit candles but the kind of candles that you would see in the holiday section of Kohl's not the long tapers like
in a fancy restaurant, but this time there were tapers all over the floor. She had melted the wax right into the ground.
I wasn't thrilled of the idea of having to clean it up but hey who cares when it comes to this. I followed the trail of rose
petals into our bathroom where I found the bath drawn. She had used some kind of bath bomb that turned the color dark red,
like a deep vermillion. I guess I'm a little OCD cause all I could think of was it staining the tub then all of a sudden my
girlfriend jumped out of the tub, bare ass naked. But the red water clinging to her body. She opened her mouth AND THEN I APPEARED!

Think About It

You broke my heart
In this lonely place
I'm the only one in the human race
And it’s true with you
There’s nothing we can do.

And it’s true with you
There’s nothing we can do.

Nothing’s without a doubt
Just a thing to think about

Just think about it
Think about it
One more time
Till nothing’s without a doubt
Just stop and think out
