lie down in the woods where you cried for the first time reading something you could love for the rest of your life as you leaf through the pages
lie down on the bed where you stared at the ceiling wondering if you believed in God wondering how to perceive the world now without Them
dig through the boxes of the books that you left with your parents and you’ll read through lines you underlined and the words in the margins
walk around in the city where you lived for the first time on your own and you’ll pass familiar places that aren’t yours anymore
i don’t want to feel this way but i’m jealous every time you say that "this whole thing has changed my life" but I never had that kind of moment in my life
And I’m waking up in the same place each day and I’ll roll right out look for some socks and shorts and forget it soon enough
Faint smells: dirt and moisture Playing soccer, or catch
I’m standing in the front yard waiting for the world to open up
Faint smells, sights, and textures oily glass from my nose
I’m sitting in the back yard waiting for the world to open up
I feel dead when I see someone get the job they hoped for and I know I want to be happy for them but it just kills me
And Rachel says she feels the same when people talk about their families, feeling comfortable at home so I guess I don't have it that bad?
spend my life hoping for some email that will change my life for the better go somewhere that will lift me up and over the hurdles placed in front of me
I go outside see the same streets that they do squint from the sun like everyone else the sun doesn’t care at all
I’ve got work but I’ll stay up as late as I can morning still comes I’m still alive Just barely I can’t wait to go home
"comparison will kill you!" some business man says as he talks on his phone waiting for the 3 million donuts he ordered for him and his business meetings that he has every Thursday. I've only been working here for 4 months but I've already memorized their patterns.
Sandy doesn't want to see anyone smile today. Her coworkers tell her about signing up for classes that she can't even think about anymore; it's been so long since she gave up paying her student loans but every once in a while she throws in $20 just for fun.
Janice pulls out an old diary and reads about how angry she was that her father made them stay an extra week in New Hampshire in summer, 2003, she didn't want to look at the stars but to just go home she said. Tonight she'll stay up late reading wikipedia entries about Shenmue and she wont regret it.
"It's better to stay awake until I'm dead tired than to be well rested and spend all night staring at the ceiling, and besides, it's the only free time I have. The only thing I hate is waking up in the morning but at least I know that we're still breathing."
And I've been thinking it's not too foolish... My heart moves slowly... My legs move slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! about After over a year of toil here is our debut album...!!!!!! What else to say... I wrote a lot in the liner notes for each individual song so check there. It's been a struggle to get this thing finished, but here it is...!!!
Thanks to everyone who has been interested in this from the beginning, and especially to the rest of the band for all your hard work and for being fun and good to be around, thanks I love you!!! credits released November 10, 2015
