lyrics.
sleepwalk
(cdep on frequency deleted records 2008):
destroy the radio(also appears on 7" split w/ frogball on neutral territory records)
she drove a thousand miles a day
i don't want to hear those records play
she said "i'm not coming back"
we drove a thousand miles a day
i don't want to hear those records play
because i'm not coming back
you know we're such a long way from home
but i guess it's better than sleeping alone
things will never be the same again
the solace keeps me awake at night
when every day is dead we're killing time
and no one gets out alive
if you could only read my mind...i'm screaming so madly
and i want you to know just how we feel
i'm hurting so badly
let's smash the world turn it off, they're not for real
losing touch as the days break the best
i'm out of time, killing dreams, sleeping sound
and i'm still screaming at the sun.
active reactive
i wonder if i peeled the skin from my fingers could i stop touching? with burnt flesh dripping down the back of my neck
would i fall every time she starts breathing close? chest on chest, it's like a drug to me
with a hand's death grip on my waist
i'm a slave for you tonight i want it, but it won't work out
sometimes i think i try to need it
i'm to insecure to live without it
say no and be the one, save me
and when she told me to forget about that dance, we left home that mondaythe active pursuit of reaction pressing all, and all is on even though we slip and run, remember
it's not about who you fuck, it's about who you love
and i know this won't last forever.
she calls me america
i'll make mistakes on you
take every call, lets talk for hours
i know how you look
but i can't wait to see the way you look at me
it was like a dream, just waitingi can't seem to shake this town
you're just feet away, i'm afraid you're perfect
twenty days, teeth pull my lips
last friday night i fell in love for the last time
this time's my last forever
i'll never run away if you stay with me
i'll never leave your side, if you want me by your sidei've got a lot on my back but i'll never turn my back on you
i've got a lot on my back
but you know i'm coming home with you.
planet
it's anihilation waiting for a call
slowly driving me insane
a mind wasted on the coldest of nights
dreaming alone for the end of time
the longest months kill the silence in me
searching the world for another fight
frozen streets beat my heart a still
choking our lungs spoiled black insides
it's too late for anything i know
so wait for me earth, there's no time to grow
i just want you to know i was here
i've tried hard to bleed the best of every day
and we've lost some friends along the way
but if you can hear me, won't you give this one last dance?
i've done my time, i've found the ends.
oceans(also appears on 7" split w/ frogball on neutral territory records)there's a thousand things i want to say to you
bridges burnt to fast to think it through
and every time i jumped the boat, she told me stay cool
there's a thousand places we could run for
how many miles can the ocean crawl?
swim for our lives to the ends of the earth
i think we've made it through the worst
there's a thousand places we could run for
how many miles can the ocean crawl?
swim for our lives because we know it's right
but we gotta make it through the night
and if we don't make it, you've got the best of my days
this drowning fixation holds me close, i'm so cold
no ocean can wreck me, so wake up because i'm still here
and i say we sink together
you've spent all of your best days here
we've spent all of our best days here
and if we die today, that's good enough for me.
pop punk is dead
(cdep on cheapskate records 2008):
suckfest
(also appears on 7" split w/ arms aloft on dead format)
she wrote it off and sat in the back of the bus for days
friends torn apart inside from the outs
everything i've never wanted is all i need right now
we're not like them anyway
late at night i think the worst
i hope you die on sunday morning
and i'm not trying to take up space
they never gave a fuck about us in the first place
they hate themselves like the rest of us.
wasted
(also apprears on 7" split w/ the young leaves on thirsty and miserable)that fuckin' spring we had it all
staying up all night walking on the dead
i'm so fuckin' sick this morning, no class today
those were the nights that killed, i'll never forget
"back home to any town, there aint' no shows but we get around"it's alright, a new direction's fuckin' wasted.
cement shoes(also apprears on 7" split w/ the young leaves on thirsty and miserable)
i cant figure out where the days went
i cant figure out what's mine
she said it's alright to be alright
and now i'm watching you unwind
it's just spacing without you
how do you scream for an angel?
how can you lie and make things ok?
i'm sorry is the best i can do.
in the swamp
another year and nothing done
i'll follow you, destroy the sun
if i lose control, make the most of this
it's just a face you've sold, you could be anyone
but i'm still hangin' around at school
would you call if things were cool?
i've spent my finest words on you
she got me on the road
i should've woke up screaming
i still think about you all the time
i'd turn my head but i'd miss your face.
pop punk is dead
we've been living without you selling us
fucked up and strung out, making ends
we're dead in the water, keep sinking
you wont hear an sos tonight
i've been hearing about you selling us
fucked up and sold out, sucking trends
we're dead in the water, keep sinking
you wont hear an sos tonight
so leave it up to me, when i can barely sing
you've left us cold and bored
now i'm older, sinking farther, losing more and more
and i've grown tired of all those fuckin' memories in my head
it's independent everything, every night.
eat leaves(also apprears on 7" split w/ the young leaves on thirsty and miserable)there's something about this place, and i'm fuckin' dying over here
there's something about your face, and i'm fuckin' dying over here
we're not ok, the mass pike drags away to 84.
bugs(also appears on 7" split w/ arms aloft on dead format)
now we talk insane, years ago we hung
and i've swallowed more than tongue
they left us all alone, i'm still leaving every day
last chance to swim they say
i've been sitting around for days and i know it's not ok anymore
i thought i knew you well, oh well.
dirge
where have you been?
do you sleep?
because i dont
i miss the warmth of your back against my chest
i miss your face and waking up in the middle of the night confused
i'll be the one walking you home
i'll be the one digging the hole
i'll be the one that you let go
you lose this time.
this is where our songs live
(cd/lp on arrest records US and cd on shield recordings EUROPE 2009):
sometimes i write songs all the time
i'm all ears, so sing me home
for the pretty girls, and the boys dreaming offshore
it never ends, and i'm fucking lost
i don't wanna be let down
i don't wanna be let down, again
"the only people for me are the mad ones"
we're not beautiful anymore
someday i will leave this place and never come back
but you'll always be on my mind.
be free
i saw you losing my mind
sifting through this brain, it's just wasted time
a face worn, that's pulled a life's worth of thread
covers up the holes burnt in my head
alone for days, the nights creep on me
i think about it all too much to rent sleep
light will keep us young, pretty, and naive
i've died too much for some, but some never leave
am i still warm, or is this killing me?
am i still worn, or is this yesterday?but despite it all i still enjoy some things.
i love
i guess i'm tired of breathing alone
her eyes spacing lost and warm, lips to neck
girl, i can't let go
it's the touch, the anticipation
you know i'm sleeping in today
and we won't dance, tonight you're asking for it.
logical ape
i don't want to make it, i just want to make some time
growing up american stole every hour that i slept
it's your bed, i won't make it again
everything's disorderly when the order's not the same
growing up american stole every thought i've ever had
it's my head, and every state's bleeding red
we have it all you know
just sell the earth to stay ahead
and every cop's your fuckin' friend
just like god is the end, not dirt.
for eric and matt
i'll be scratching the walls everytime i lose my mind
it's your vocal part in my head when i write
i'll be right down the street until the die we fucking die
sleeping through life chasing songs and chasing nights
so tell me i'm ok, and that the world checked out on me
i just want you to know i look for today in yesterday.
life is stupid
sucking on cement kept me hanging on
for years it nailed me to the floor, those we're the days
some things will never change and we haven't got a chance
she said she'd never quit when the nights are long, but mass ave is always on
when i'm lost and feeling sure that this world has a place for me
i think of my friends and realize, i'm dying.
sorry about new years eve
we beat that road for weeks just to stay alive
do you remember the time we parked in the airport bus station all night?
i'd drive for months just to kiss you on the face
can i sleep on the floor? it's a long way back to earth, i hate that place
i guess i always knew, it's just that everything i knew was shot by who i thought i was
you're the one i'm running from
i sing to you every night on the keys where my heart is sold.
this is where our songs live
hanging like a dog i'll die for sure
when you have nothing its all the world
because everything's nothing at all
living for the memories, they're all i've got
and i'm still breathing half the time
but they won't take me alive
so let them live and die for jesus
and pave the road for the unsure
because when it's time to go, we'll be ok... it's just a game
and every night it's all the same
waiting to die's not as bad as it seems, have i failed?
crush
crushing on legs longer than length
has kept me dreaming when the clock is dull
take my eyes, they're all i've got
unless you like talking nothing at all
i'll be hanging on your wall tonight
chucking lies like blue lines on trucks
this room's got pull, it's a heavy world
you've got me digging, and i know it's on
i'm spitting words in my head
but i can't scream to save my life
is this the heart that beats you sick?
there's too much to hide
and i can't pick a face.
i wish i was dead
we play from my head, it's a lonely place
don't forget, i fuck up everything
but i'll see you at the show tonight
hey earth, i'm dying a free bird
when i woke up i sucked the air and left life in the dust.
they don't know
your face has got me crushing on the bends, keep in touch
when 128 ends i'll be where the ocean meets the sand, if i drown i win
i'm not cocky, just realistic
yet completely lost and absolutely hopeless
the best mess you've never seen, monday night's yours for life
we never thought twice, but it's alright
and just like rome this is proof the best things are built in a day... or night.
i quit
everyday's a sick call
and every night's a bust
but give me a floor and i'll never walk home again
i'm usually boring
and/or consistently bored
i've got the real world stuck in my head again
i remember everything
and i can still taste the snowfall
there was a time when i never left home without a hand
but every night i wake up
and i want to fuckin' die
i left my life in a litterbox, choking in the road
there's no hope for us today girl
i just hope you've enjoyed the sounds
i love to waste your space.
