I used to be a different kind of guy Used to be all handshakes and smiles Getting fucked by used car salesmen Wishing on a fallen piece of shit oh yeah Well not any more Oh yeah, well not any more I used to be a different kind of girl Used to be all pigtails and curls Getting told to shut my fuckin trap Wishing on a fallen piece of crap oh yeah Well not any more Oh yeah, well not any more This world is mine! This world is mine, man! And I'll fuckin kill you! And I’ll fuckin crush you! And I’ll fuckin bury you!

I watched for cars While I pissed on the side of the road And you drank too much so you was the one who drove But i was just happy to be with you even if you weren’t being you Yes, i was just happy to be with you Even if you were covered in puke

My mom and dad don’t trust each other they never told me that but man i can just tell my mom and dad still love each other they don’t hold hands but man i can just tell mom and dad I’m not an invisible kid who didn’t do shit anymore I’m all old grown and overwhelmed I understand the intricacies of intimacy and what it means to ask for help but now I’ve got that sinking feeling that I’m being too honest too brash too cold too crass too i don’t even know anymore man what, what’s the proper way to ask what’d you do do your heart I know about goodness and I’m inherently evil But they never taught us what it’s like to be less than equal to someone you love And that love can rust They never told us that fate could be a bust they never told us that fate could be a bust They never told us that love can be lust They never told us that fate could be a bust They never told us cause we never talk what’d you do do your heart

Monster 02:02
maybe i’ll wake up in a dumpster covered up in trash with a playboy in my back thrown out by some embarrassed dad. but i’ll get out and walk around Yes i’ll get out and walk around like the monster that i am sometimes i think about what they’ll all think about when i die actually I i think about that shit all the time but i keep my mouth shut Yes i keep my mouth shut like the monster that i am i had a fist full of water that swallowed me whole i lost sight of my future or so that I’m told i held hands with a baby that looks just like me and my other hand dripped water down his chubby cheek and now I’m floating off the ground again like the monster that i am now I’m floating off the ground again Like the monster that i am are there monsters in heaven Are there monsters in heaven Are there bad guys in heaven Is my grandpa in heaven Are there monsters in heaven

Cigarettes 00:13
Cigarettes for singles on the internet tried to smile with a broken neck couldn't cut it so NOW HE’S DEAD.

Rat Shit 01:39
I used to think roaches were gross But then i had a funny thought- If I myself was a roach I’d think that i was not. I’ve been finding rat shit in my apartment I been putting poison on plates. I’ve been getting bitten by bugs in my bed They crawl all over my face I wish it took my friends seconds to write me back Instead of waiting for days I've been singing gospel, the kind that is hopeful but it's not giving me faith i've been watching tv, it preaches to me it keeps my products placed i wish my house felt more like a home But it’s really just a cage I'm not sick but I'm not great I'm just pretty okay.
8.
What a tragedy it must've been to realize the sun didn’t revolve around the earth that the heavens weren’t above us. That we all turn into dirt. what is the sistine chapel but a big fuckin room what is my parents basement but a second womb what is my perfect little blue planet but utterly doomed so now we sing the songs that rhyme or at least we try so now we sing the songs that rhyme because it feels right There's no use in trying baby there's no use in crying baby There's only one way to up to heaven a And that's by dying baby So we sing these songs to god to Tell him we're sorry For fucking it all up but also so what? we're just having fun so now we sings the songs that rhyme or at least we try so now we sing the songs that rhyme because it feels right

i can’t wait for love i can’t wait for passion i can’t wait for that old fashion magic i can’t wait for love

about

Phil’s Pills is the music of Phil Matarese. After an early life spent in punk and hardcore bands, Phil put his love for making loud, fun music on the back burner to focus on making loud, fun television (he’s most notably the creator & star of Animals. on HBO). But alas, the need to scream into the void was too great to ignore. Over the past year, the LA via NJ auteur recorded the Can’t Wait For Love EP and recruited the ever-growing live Phil’s Pills band, which currently sits at an expansive nine members.

Drawing inspirations from Bruce Springsteen, Minor Threat and Daniel Johnston fighting over a parking space, the songs are short, fast and sound like what too much coffee feels like.
Phil’s Pills hopes to evoke a visceral, almost physical change in the listener (hence the ‘Pills’). Have fun and Hail Satan.

released February 16, 2018

The breakneck nine-song debut EP Can’t Wait For Love brings listeners on a journey of recognition and redemption through commanding and often humorous lyrics, set against a backdrop of punk, surf, garage and everything in between. It’s about being in that mid-to-late-twenties cycle of partying and drinking and expecting anything good to come from it. It’s about what happens when we magnify general restlessness into The Restlessness, when the discontent of our declining youth metastasizes into a broad and all consuming Discontent.

It’s about being young and thinking you’ve got control over your destiny (you don’t). It’s about feeling unfulfilled and not knowing why. It’s about the fear of never being great & loved but maybe you’ve been great & loved all along. It’s a first person POV that ultimately comes to the conclusion: relax, have fun, play fast songs, drink a little less, love will come when it’s ready & you’re fine just the way you are.

The album was recorded by Aaron Leigh of Babes and David Greenbaum (Morning Phase) who also played drums. Additional vocals by Sarah Rayne. Saxophone by the world’s greatest saxophonist Walter Davis. Mixed by Dan Long.
