bandfan25 A breezy, wistful, nostalgic and flowing album. Sounds like the insecurities of new adulthood in all the right ways! Favorite track: Oolong.

There's something scary going on around here To take the places of my fears I had when I was fifteen Oh god, let me be fifteen again 'Cause what's worse than spiders Are the thoughts my friends' parents verbalize They don't even realize at all So I hang with my friends and watch some horror films And pretend the world out there's not scarier This basement's the barrier to keep us from our sins Well, I'm not here to sin
2.
There's probably a crowd on a hill In the background of some anime Where I feel you and I belong Standing static on repeat, both hearts drawn Not scared anymore Sometimes it's just to hard To fuck with new realities I'm scared of the loneliness and Expectations in your head And maybe we're dead, and this is heaven All we have to do is stand around Pretend we've got it figured out
3.
So strike a match and light the fire We can sing and dance the night away Take my hand; we'll run to wherever Streetlights will light the way to forever And I know this ain't the same town anymore So stay here for now until we reach that shore Come with me like you know you want to Fix all the inside pain through avenues Let's run away, get away; honestly, this honest me's Gotta get through this all

I guess the timing is always what's wrong So I'm taking the sum And I'm changing me up I'll diet forever and drink all the tea You can throw at me, and next time it'll work out Well, I'm sorry things get weird Try to get myself again to the top by next year Bad things, the bad thoughts, the goddamn Fake friends and fake life, I'm changing Up this time for good, maybe so next time, I'll know just what was meant We were innocent I always run to the shower to cleanse myself for hours When things get bad, and write songs in my head About being a psycho killer Well, you better come by as a good friend By the end of this forgotten movie 'Cause I can only wash myself so many times Before I realize my insides were really what was dirty I'm so sorry things get weird Disruption of the politics, there's no relationship We'll start again next year Bad things, the bad thoughts, the goddamn Fake friends and fake life, we're changing Up this time for good, maybe so next time, I'll know just what was meant We were innocent

In the company of friends Undateable and falling in love (With the special thought of not being special enough) And all these nihilistic teens with Emotional instability had enough (With two week long love affairs) And photographs In this scene, we're gonna film what happened But this time, it's gonna actually work out (So say 'yes' when I say 'action') Or just walk around 'Cause Lord knows you've got so many options (Just walk around and try again) This place is dead So when I talk about depressing films To convince myself I'm in one of them Just to say that all bad things end And it was always for someone's entertainment

You're cute as a button, but I'm stupid as fuck Don't know how I get by; I'm really pushing my luck I just lay in my bed, watch anime Play fantasy football, and waste the day away Lord knows I can't complain Whatever. I don't care anymore. I work five days a week for school and the band Barely passing my classes so you know where I stand Now I'm standing here, singing this song Feeling awkward as hell 'cause no one's singing along Whatever. I don't care anymore.

So crooked kids, gather around For a joke before I leave this fucking town This is arguably the last, my dear The last summertime before I see things clearly I got fat over the last semester You can take me as I am While I cut off your arm, as well as mine Then make both arms hold hands I'm the psycho you always needed I'm getting sugar high for the last time Wanna be the cute kid; get you so damn wasted Off my sweetness (Goodnight!) I'm a creepy, hollow man. Watch out, kids I'm a legend in this land, playing games Going back-and-forth between silly and psychotic Before they take me to the institution, Tell her I miss it It's five years ago, gone forever

When do the visuals come? I think I'm out here on my own And I'm trying to forget the past and everyone When will we see this dream As a tangible thing? And a future that is possible to achieve And I know what the hell I'm waiting for Just a chance to be seen I'll dematerialize the subjugated thoughts Under control of my vacant memories And I promise so many things Trying to find the best of me But I just promise forever, and... We can make it out alive Let's go now, let's go faster Go and run from these bastards We can grow up. Don't have to, don't have to Don't have to fear Let's go now, let's go faster Go and run from these bastards We can grow up, don't have to fear Growing old and looking back here Well, I constantly play dead Are you scared of all your accidents? This modern life, it kills my head One day, you'll understand And we can make it out alive

It's getting late, but I don't feel like driving home So could I stay so you don't have to sleep alone? I'll take the couch so you won't to have to leave your bed But I'll join you if you'd prefer that instead I just want you to know that if you want me to go, I won't put up a fight But I can tell that you're lonely You're not the only one tonight My arm went numb, and your hair's in my face I cannot sleep; I'd almost rather stay awake Goodnight, sweet girl, and I hope you sleep well You mean so much to me; I'm sure you can tell I just want you to know that if you want me to go, I won't put up a fight But I can tell that you're lonely You're not the only one tonight
10.
I can't tell if we're foreseen or forgotten Twin-sized lies relayed, recited when you're dead There's no hell when we come back in new seasons And I can't help but think that you're the reason So stay afloat, and change your clothes We're all losers so shut up and forgive We're all losers so shut up and forgive You're so much more than a kinetic cadaver So much more than what you say in your head Do they care and does it even matter? We're getting better at this and I'll always love you We're all losers so shut up and forgive We're all losers so shut up and forgive You're so much more than the prescription they gave you You'll go farther than you've ever imagined It's been hell, but, honey, heaven is calling Just keep existing for me and forgive Forgive me for always loving you We're all losers so shut up and forgive

I know I'm in denial I just can't seem to catch a break I just wanna break away The days come and go by I just don't know how much more of this I can take I'm shouting out into the distance But no one seems to ever listen I'm shouting out into the distance But no one ever listens to me So take me as I am I'm more than what you all take me for I won't take for granted The little things I've lost sight of before I'm shouting out into the distance But no one seems to ever listen I'm shouting out into the distance But no one ever listens to me I'm shouting out into the distance But no one seems to listen To a word I've gotta say It doesn't matter anyway 'Cause even if they heard They'd never say a word They never seem to listen

Do you think it's okay to stay the night 'til I feel better? Or fake some hope 'til the sun comes up? Well, you know me, don't you? If I'm delusional, I'll shoot up a daydream And never wake up But there's something that tells me we're better than this Things get uneasy when the purposes are gone And the meaning gets too faded to be easily read, so withdrawn I'm sorry sullen and static is my theme right now It's just a phase to change, and make it out alive somehow And I wish college worked out I wish so many things worked out I felt so bombed and bummed beyond my own Pissy words could ever have foretold So if I drop out, I'm not giving up You'll see a dead man walk again Well, I'm not here to sin I'm here to love, then be forgotten I'm here to begin And learn to be a best friend I swear I'm growing up Maybe just slowly Don't measure my worth And don't try to write my story for me
