There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
All stuck in the middle
Between what is and what might be
A great sensation
Has swept the nation
Everybody wants the image you've got for sale
With massive confirmations on your part
But buddy you've taken the nation
Check it out the new teen beat model of the year
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
Struck down from the pillar
Short lived is all you'll ever be
A once great sensation
Has wiped out the nation
Your message is no longer for sale
And no proclamation
Will return the station
You held onto while the rest of us moved on
As not quite sensations
But mere subatomic particles of the nation
We're happy if our songs get heard at all
So bring forth donations
For the boombox generation
That's right
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
There's no consolation prize
There's no prize for consolation
Don't be afraid
Of what you say
'Cause anyway
Is the only way

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr

Tacoma's Karass whittled these bleak dream-pop gems from free-form jams, and the rhythms that rattle through them have a live energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2021

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
