Back Here Again 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I wake up with the same old nihilistic tendency I waste my life away by staying up and sleeping in And I'm the culprit of my rancid bleeding murder suicide All that potential down the drain, oh what a shame Well, it looks like I'm back here again The place where I don't care about anything I've been smoking like a gun Ever since my future went missing Retrace my footsteps to find parts of me killed by reality And further entrails from some self-inflicted bullet wounds Because I just don't care anymore, the world is cold and ugly Robbed me of my oxygen and made me breathe Well, it looks like I'm back here again The place where I don't care about anything Still water underneath my skin So bleed the part of me that holds me down If I find it in me, I can change Flowers blooming from the gore of everything A little wood glue and some screws Returns the half-heart to a whole

Headlining 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Well, there I was Lost in my thoughts Where one wrong move sends me back again The smell of smoke, and cheap perfume And the taste of bile on my lips I hope I make it to the headlines I hope I make it on the evening news And then I see a pair of headlights Ripping straight through my windshield Now I'm stuck in bed This isn't what I expected I'm not a hero, I'm a patient Bones caved in, bruised and bleeding And a chunk of dead weight in my head I hope I made it on the headlines 
I hope I made it on the evening news And then I see a pair of bright lights Leave me numb, I won't feel a thing

I Say To Myself 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I try so hard to be a human but it all goes wrong It blows up in my fucking face I saw the sky collapse, I didn't feel anything That's Tuesday to me Don't you dare forget what you are to everyone I say to myself I've been in fight or flight a thousand times just this past week I'd give anything to never end up there again So I can't hold my mistakes against myself To keep me in my place Don't you dare forget what you are to everyone I say to myself

Side Character 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Pulling out teeth and chunks of my hair Been running in place for at least a few years Not even close to where I need to be Forgot what it's like to care about life The words leave my head when I need them most The fog is so strong I can't hear my own thoughts I have resigned to a background role Neglected myself and stunted my growth Embarrassed at how I've fallen behind I was on pace, broke a knee, lost some time I think that I need to get out more Then I could look at myself in the mirror Ground control to Major Tom The engine malfunctioned and frankly, you're fucked You twiddled your thumbs, took your safety for granted So lay in your bed as it flies towards the ground To that man on the moon, I'm a lot like you Don't know why I do the things that I do Sleepwalk perpetually, months become years Time has run dry as I flail for the wheel Has it been this long? What do I do when my interest in living is gone? Did I fall too deep? Am I too far gone to ever be whole again?

Perpetual Middle Finger 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I don't give a shit what you think about me It doesn't matter to me I won't falter, I won't fade I'm not going anywhere And someday, I... I'm gonna fly I hate myself like an inconvenience A glass of water that fell on the floor I wanna realize what a fool I've been Break the ties that bind to feeling sorry for myself I'm not going anywhere And someday, I... I'm gonna fly I have three eyes and a second head I'm so ugly that it's funny, I'm shriveled up and nearly dead But that's not helping noone, that's not serving me I let my skin burn in the sun and I am who I'm meant to be

Death Of A Dream 05:40
lyrics
buy track
Yeah, I've been grieving the death of a dream Haunted by the ghost of a wish that never came true The impossible task to rebuild all that I have lost To pick up the pieces and carry on Well, I cannot be who I always wanted to be No longer can I find comfort in naivety That things slowly mend, that time will heal all of these wounds These regrets I have found I'll take to the ground Maybe it could've worked, and I could've fixed it somehow It was doomed from the start, should've left when I had the chance I can find it again, I just hope that the feeling subsides Because I cannot live where my reason is gone I can find it again

about

Recorded in 2 days at Black Bear Studios in Gainesville, FL.

A special thanks to Logan and David from Black Bear for putting up with us for 2 days straight, and also working on this thing tirelessly after the fact to make this thing sound the way that it does.

And, of course, thank you to our family, friends, and anybody who has shown support to our little band up until now. We love you all more than you could ever know.
