I Set My Friends On Fire - Midwife Toad Lyrics






I'll call you when I'm done 
I'll call you once I've won 
I didn't think you left it there 
I didn't think you'd care 

I thought this was only between the both of us 
But then you threw me under the bus 
Your set of feelings have been ambidextrous 
Hey, more material to re-write the chorus 

Had the nerve so I had the mallet 
Sorry, your taste never embraced my pallet 
Know what they say, a spitter is a quitter. 
Runnin' her mouth so I had to hit her 

(Let them have it) 
Shrill until you rip your vocal chords 
Flatten her face with her undeserved awards 
(Oh, just let them have it)
You won't be acknowledgeable 
Let alone recognizable 
You won't be acknowledgeable 
Let alone recognizable 

I'll call you when I'm done 
I'll call you once I've won 
I didn't think you left it there 
I didn't think you'd care 

I thought this was only between the both of us 
But then you threw me under the bus 
Your set of feelings have been ambidextrous 
Hey, more material to re-write the chorus 

Held the ambience so I held the occlusion 
Half the time I was sidelong the exclusion 
Why does this person know of what I'm not aware of? 
Lastly informed so I was first to undo love 

If the sound of scraping metal doesn't bother you (I said you are - wakin') 
Then maybe them grinding in your cheekbones will (I'll say you are - awaken) 
Just wait until you see the facial.. 
Reconstructive surgery bill
[x2]

  8. C.... G....

    I'll call you when I'm done... I'll call you once I've won...

  9. C.... L....

    C.... L....

    I Set My Friends On Fire keep up the good work 🙏

  10. D.... ....

    Ill call you once I've won.....

  11. r.... c....

    still waiting for the album drop.

    r.... c....

    roger crossgrove same dude

    r.... c....

    roger crossgrove not happening

    r.... c....

    Ismfof will never consistently release music ever again trust me man you might get a random single every two years at best

  12. Y.... ....

    Also, Matt's voice in this song reminds me of Chester from Linkin Park's voice.. i like it a lot

  13. Y.... ....

    In my opinion, I think ISMFOF sounds best when they either just do chill stuff or when they just do electronicore stuff. The mix of the two genres on some songs don't really please my ears much, but I love ISMFOF. I dig this track a lot

  14. s.... �....

    What drum samples are you using?

  15. K.... R....

    yooo Matt, could you put the lyrics in the description like the other songs plz?! :)

  16. L.... L....

    I Set My Friends On Fire has changed the scene in my eyes. I miss them sometimes but now that the music has generated back up, Im excited as Hell. Ready to see them soon..

  17. E.... S....

    ISMFOF or GTFO. ♡

  18. A.... ....

    This song and parrot man are the shit. If it doesn't need to be screamed, don't scream it.

  19. C.... ....

    This is amazing

  20. G.... S....

    Wish he made more chill music like dis :3

  21. B.... ....

    Lmao they said the new album was gonna be nothing like the other two but this is like a different band Cx but I dig it

  22. i.... F....

    Come back

  23. T.... ....

    You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter is the only album worth listening to. Astral Rejection was just fucking noisy as shit and nothing made sense, it was horrible. This shit, I don't even know what to say..

    T.... ....

    It's really not that bad. It's a change and if you don't really like it, What's the point in complaining? You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter was amazing, but the others were good too. The sounds changed after Nabil left Because it wasn't What Matt liked. Matt started making different music to conform to his taste, and I think this is amazing. I could listen to it forever, honestly. Peace and love, hating doesn't make life better.

  24. G.... G....

    He never released the album. It's been over two years.

    G.... G....

    *4 years.

    G.... G....

    Anthony Ofenloch matt doesn’t understand the meaning of a release daye

    G.... G....

    It comes out next year around summer two albums caterpillar sex and the fourth album still in named. I work on projects for Matt I can't say what it is but it's ismfof related.

    G.... G....

    Gema Guevara lmao 😂

    G.... G....

    @Gema Guevara not sure if you learned this yet but they had been "broken up" for a vvhile. Its only been mat making this album. The band is back to a full lineup novv but for a long time it vvas just mat keeping the ismfof name going.

  25. C.... W....

    I like this.

  26. X.... C....

    I hope the albums chill like this and the screamo's put to rest. The only reason people really want the scream is because all those spoiled rich white boy's pretend to feel the pain.

    X.... C....

    Or you could listen to metal. Ne Obliviscaris is fucking beautiful. But if you want something heavy, Infant Annihilator pummels your face in with brutal everything

    X.... C....

    @Xander Cortez Screamo is a music genre exampled by bands like orchid and to get to your message: i hope it has more chill shit like this too, but it needs a bit of contrast.

    X.... C....

    @Xander Cortez Also, the screaming parts could be used artistically, as a way to portray a conflict or anger or scene of gratuity and/or violence, or to show a contrast in a subject matter.


    You're promoting the limitation of expression.

    X.... C....

    Lol I like the screams cuz they're funny and just hardcore to head bang to ^-^

  27. a.... ....

    Sounds like Third Eye Blind in a tunnel

  28. C.... C....

    I like their new stuff can't find good music like that anywhere else, so what if its different they wanna sound like that so let them spread their wings and evolve their sound to something even better than the old stuff.

  29. M.... ....

    IDK how i feel about this yet.. Just release the FUCKIN ALBUM ALREADY!!! DAFUQ!!

  30. 1.... H....

    Why not let them evolve, I like this and when does the album drop.

  31. D.... L....

    NOO what happened?!? I will not buy this album if it's all like this? Okay first of all I though ISMFOF was screamo?!? I loved I meaned loves the first and second Album! They were phenomenal! But this? This is absolute garbage! Come on bring the band back together!

    D.... L....

    @xxhardforcorexx Well, you're right, i used to consider myself emo too, but whatever all in all labels are just shit

    D.... L....

    @Ravi Luttikhuizen Life in general is shit. It's just something we have to live with or not. I usually only label assholes. Everyone has a label, though, even nobody at all.

    D.... L....

    @Ravi Luttikhuizen You forgot page 99 and city of caterpillar

    D.... L....

    @ClubDevon Right! I don't know what is with everyone accepting this! They can make whatever music they want but it looks like I'll never listen to any album other than You can't spell slaughter without laughter. I thought the second album was ok. And like you said, they are screamo. This is terrible in my opinion. I agree, bring back the band.

    D.... L....

    @Toxic Romzi hipsters are just trendy people. and trendies have been around since the beginning of time.

  32. n.... ....

    this is so different from your old stuff, but this is the only song i like off this album, its so sad though

  33. A.... ....

    This is good music. Just miss the shit they used to make like, the entire album You Can't Spell Slaughter without Laughter. I listen to it all the time. I still love this band if thats even what you wanna call it anymore, but I don't appreciate the new shit as much as the old. Like i said this is still good music. I just like the old shit more.

    A.... ....

    I feel you bro ISMFOF has always been my favorite post-hardcore band since I found them out

  34. G.... M....

    Props for Matt the only one who didnt quit ha. I get what you mean.

  35. a.... ....

    release the fucking album !!!!!!

  36. T.... M....

    if the sound of scrapping metal doesnt bother unc unc unc unc so sick

  37. W.... P....

    Can't wait for how good the new songs will sound on the album! ISMFOF never ceases to produce great music. For all those who didn't like Astral Rejection hopefully this will be a good change of pace. Keep on spreading this!!

  38. j.... p....

    This is the best songs out of all the singles you have put out so far.

    See, if you made chill songs like these with no dubstep garbage I'd actually consider buying your album. Let's what else you have.

  39. S.... ....

    what the fuck ismfof please come back

    S.... ....

    +1 indeed

    S.... ....

    would you wanna make the same kind of music your whole music career? hell no atleast I wouldn't I cant listen to the same type of music let alone keep on making the same type...remember though music is subjective and so is stlye....I really like theyre new shit a lot...its been like 6 years since their first album came out...but once again music is subjective I love this shit and I just like matt hes a cool dude im interested in anything he has to make..i wish they would make more stuff all kinds of stuff anyting they want because anything made by them would be sweet...if they were cool enough to make the album you cant spell slaighter with outout laughter theyre obviously cool enough to make anything funky..thats just my opinion

    S.... ....

    @SweetJessica boo hoo, ismfof gave up on the "br04tal breakdowns"

  40. g.... ....

    best song out of all the new ones but imagine if it had a breakdown... would've been insane but it's still sick tho

    g.... ....

    You do realise songs don't need breakdown every two seconds right? Breakdowns are so overused and generic anyway.

    g.... ....

    @Purple Alex You went full ass

  41. J.... ....

    Sounds indie-ish. I'm fine with that! :)

    J.... ....

    Emo is gong indie 😭

    J.... ....

    +ShadowTheHunter emo...?

  42. A.... W....

    This is the only song I like out of the songs you've put out. Hopefully it gets better.

  43. P.... ....

    I'd love to hear more songs like Midwife Toad. You're such a lyrical genius!

  44. G.... S....

    Wow this band has changed a lot in a direction I don't think anyone was expecting!

    G.... S....

    Well, I know Matt got pretty depressed after Nabil left the band, and his whole demeanor changed. I think that's probably why Chris ended up leaving the band. I don't know, I'm just guessing. 

    G.... S....

    @B00M3R500N3R Makes sense. Either that or he wanted to do a sound that Chris didnt' want to do.

    G.... S....

    Yeah, that's very possible. It's certainly caused members to leave bands in the past. 

    G.... S....

    @B00M3R500N3R
    Agreed

    G.... S....

    @*****
    Also agree with you.

  45. E.... W....

    So completely changing your genre means growing up? Sorry but that is just stupid mate.

  46. A.... ....

    REAL MEN PUNCH WOMEN IN THE CLITORIS.

  47. J.... S....

    very different from their old stuff but its good

  48. s.... l....

    This song makes me happier than a fat kid on Halloween

  49. A.... ....

    ++ awesome

  50. s.... b....

    It's one song, and so what if it's different? It's good. I like it a lot actually. Calm your clitoris.

  51. D.... R....

    ily ismfof

  52. C.... W....

    has anyone realized that this song was about beating a girl until she has reconstructive surgery?

  53. D.... ....

    Great song

  54. J.... R....

    The people that say they're selling out or that this music sucks, really don't know too much about music. Music is music , if you don't like it don't listen to it, no need to degrade the band. I like the song btw nice chill feel too it

  55. H.... E....

    Seriously scream atleast!

  56. T.... ....

    This song is a skyscraper janitor, it works on so many levels

  57. M.... ....

    Wow if ISMFOF wants to continue to go this direction then they got a ton of work to do. I don't blame Nabel leaving, he probably wasn't making a lot of money.

  58. J.... Z....

    Awesome tune

  59. T.... M....

    Eh my only complaint really is that i don't like that Grungry and Scratchy sound in both songs posted. I mean i like the beat, but that noise is kinda irritating. Idk its weird. It's a mix of things i dont like and like at the same time. Thanks for making me think about how i like my music now damn it.

  60. J.... ....

    hey, Nabil is doing photography & videography. he obviously doesn't want to make music. if you know so much about singing on key or playing instruments well how about you go off and make your own damn album and make it sound like nothing the world would expect from you. until then, stfu and let Matt do what he loves doing.

  61. C.... L....

    Right? Either they're complaining it's sounds too different or it sounds too similar to earlier works. I know it's probably not the same people but still... I love ISMFOF 'cuz each song is catchy and has a different "feel" or "sound" to them, keeps them from getting stale. I personally love these new songs for those exact reasons.

  62. R.... B....

    Nabil's gone. Get used to it. Matt is da bes for making these new songs. Can't wait to hear more!!!! The "D" In Capitation is super wicked too.

  63. F.... T....

    no it's called suckin dick

  64. d.... b....

    Matt is the shit

  65. K.... V....

    Boy, this is just awful. Hopefully Nabil will release a solo album and offset this pile of shit's effect on the universe's natural balance.

    Learn to sing in one key, Matt. And learn to play an instrument well.

  66. m.... ....

    Matt's a douche. No wonder nabil left. Matt needs to lay off the drugs. And screammmm!

  67. g.... ....

    If you don't like this then your just not a true fan if you can't respect the progression then you can't really be a fan ISMFOF have always had hints to this bands change it happens but this is one song there will still be screams but this is just one song

  68. D.... ....

    This band died when Nabil left.

  69. y.... a....

    if you dont like it. then its whatever, ismfof isnt for you, they are an experimental band, they can play fucking salsa music if they so pleased and it'd still be ismfof

  70. P.... F....

    Oh my god, its can't be ISMFOF

  71. D.... W....

    I love this

  72. i.... S....

    This shits so fucking dope. You never fail me ISMFOF.

  73. A.... A....

    nice song, lo-fi stuff

  74. A.... M....

    I've been a fan of this band since day 1 as well, and this is bullshit. And Chris isn't even in the band anymore.

  75. J.... J....

    This is chill af. I love it.

  76. B.... ....

    Their new album's called "Caterpillar sex" and the song's called "Midwife Toad". You call that growing up?

  77. D.... S....

    I don't mind this personally I love the old I set my friends on fire but its sick that they are testing the water with some new stuff I would rather have them making music I kinda like then no music at all but I really do like this a lot haha

  78. W.... R....

    There will be screaming songs. Matt even said so.

  79. A.... M....

    No, it's called this band went to complete shit after Nabil left.

  80. y.... a....

    it's called growing up

  81. M.... B....

    distortion distortion distortion!

  82. A.... ....

    The track isn't distorted, the quality just isn't the greatest. It'll be better on the album version.

  83. A.... M....

    What the fuck happened to this band?

  84. C.... D....

    where is the screaming??

  85. T.... H....


    I know, But no distortion was purposely added.

  86. 8.... ....

    its because the vocal or the master is clipping

  87. T.... H....

    You can say that, but Matt himself told you that they put no distortion on the voice. Matt is involved in all the recording processes, so he knows his song. You cant tell someone they're wrong about their own work.

  88. F.... W....

    The whole track is distorted! Maybe someone increased the audio on the movie maker program and distorted it. Or you really need to re mix and master the track. Either way, call Nabil.

  89. W.... R....

    Nope. Honestly, not as many were in the first album as people think. Matt still did most vocals.

  90. s.... l....

    The song astral rejection* v

  91. s.... l....

    Was nabils vocals used in astral rejection? Near the end of the song when they say "nailed today" it kinda sounds like him but I'm not sure...

  92. K.... ....

    Thats invalid because Nabil wrote and helped on the whole Astral Rejection album.

  93. J.... R....

    It's not what's expected, obviously, but it is still incredible music.

  94. S.... ....

    This is great Matt! Keep Ismfof alive ! Damn a lot of bitching in these comments , why so negative? -_-

  95. D.... ....

    I actually agree with you

  96. A.... ....

    see this guy understands

  97. C.... ....

    Oh shoot : / I guess i finally found someone who knows more than i do.. Rats!
