Banshees 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Floating through the streetlights We would scream like banshees Under the warm orange glow Of the past Now we've got apartments And loans and heartache And yellowed photographs In the trash Just like it never happened... Just like it never happened... At all Blurry in the starlight We would fall in love on rooftops We weren't afraid of heights Back then Now with bitter hearts and minds We burn down buildings To never see those stories Again Just like it never happened... Just like it never happened... At all I wonder if it's alright That I've thrown away the memories And colored all the pages Black And if you still hate me, well I can't say that I blame you All the same, I am never coming Back Just like it never happened... Just like it never happened... At all

A Picture 02:40
lyrics

I saw A picture of you for the first time In such a long time You haven't changed at all The dead Leaves on the ground around my feet Snowless in spring on the concrete Nothing here ever changes At all I wanna scream Because I don't know what to say I wanna tear out my eyes To never see this place Again The wind blows across the dead lawn I could find my way with a blindfold on Cause I don't wanna see it At all A voice Is filling me up with memories God, it's fucking killing me It says nothing here ever changes At all I wanna scream Because I don't know what to say I wanna tear out my eyes To never see this place I wanna scream So I don't have to hear the sound I wanna bury these memories Cold and deep underground A voice Is filling me up with memories And God, it won't stop telling me "Nothing has changed..." "You haven't changed at all."

The Parable of Expectation 02:19
lyrics
buy track
I am so tired I will let you down forever Until you realize you do this to yourself I wanna write a story About a dog or a bird Or a cat or a horse or a duck or pig That finds a treasure made of gold Except this story Won't be a fable The treasure's never found and pigs still can't speak And everyone still dies when they grow old I am so tired I will let you down forever Until you realize you do this to yourself

5th & Wacouta 02:41
lyrics
buy track
I am 5th & Wacouta And no idea how long I have been here It seems October Is a whole lot colder Without the friends you had last year And I have no idea how to get where I'm supposed to go Man, Minnesota You're everything I'm scared of Even more as the days get colder All the kids and suits and faces And the same expected places And all the worries of growing older So keep your dreams away from me... So keep your dreams away from me... Cause I don't wanna know... Reminders of where I should've been by now I'm trying to get there but I'm not sure how It gets harder and harder everyday Everything is moving but I'm stuck in place

Maybe everything won't be alright But maybe that's not the point.

about

Growing up is really frustrating sometimes, especially when you're bad at it. I've heard it really doesn't get better, either. This is a typical Thursday's worth of me trying my best to deal with it.

I'm okay, Mom.
