Someday 04:30
All of the hardest days in my life are behind me. I'm not going back for nothing. I'd rather live each day out until the last. I'm not living, hardly surviving in this fucked up world we're all living in. And I'm trying my fucking hardest. Goddamnit, I hope that's all enough. I still feel the weight of the world some days. Fuck, I don't feel like waking up at all some days. Someday.. I wanna wake up and feel alright. Wake up exhausted, I'm always tired Hijacked to go ahead. I'm always anxious, I'm always nervous. My hands keep shaking. My brain's invaded, my soul's been branded. My tongue's been cut straight out. And I keep trying my goddamn best. That's all I ever had in this. And I hope tomorrow will be different. I hope then we all feel like we're living. Someday.. I wanna wake up and feel alright.

I don't care about the world at all. I never asked to be a part of it. I don't care about love at all. That's why I'm good with disappointment. I'm not at peace with who I used to be. Sometimes I hate it.. I fucking hate it. Sometimes I need you here with me. There's always war, ya know, inside my head. Some nights it's haunting me. But, that's how I wanted it to be. I don't believe in much of anything. That's how it's always been since I was growing up. You threw your sorrows off the Fahy Bridge. Well, I burned all of mine right into my skin. I.. I'm always fighting what's in my hands, what's in my heart. I don't believe in fucking anything. I guess it's pitiful that I never had it all. I don't want to waste the things I'd say I'd rather be right here fucking waiting. I've always felt cursed by the life I've known since I was growing up.. Since I was on my own. I don't believe that it's been certain or that it's always been so predetermined. I.. I'm always fighting what's in my hands, what's in my heart.

You might see my hands shake. You won't feel my heart break. I've seen all the worst of the world and sometimes it's hard for me to just take it in. I don't owe you anything I don't owe anyone any explanations I know what's in my head I know what's in my heart. You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me. All you need to know is we're doing alright. All you need to know is we are doing alright. I've seen a lot of my friends to their grave. That's how I learned to keep my dark in its place. My childhood friend drowned in a lake in a place when we were kids we used to go and hang and how my brother and I didn't talk for years.. I know what's in my head I know what's in my heart. You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me. All you need to know is we're doing alright. All you need to know is we are doing alright. You won't see my hands shake. You won't feel my heart break. You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me. All you need to know is we're doing alright. You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me.

Sometimes I feel like parking my car on the side of the road and go running wild into the woods and never coming back. You know I feel this cold old heart like I don't feel at all The only time were together now is at a goddamn funeral You know I felt the same way then when I was a kid in a smaller town I smeared my heart across the floorboards of the house I grew up in. You gotta hold on tight. And if I drive my car right off the side of the mountain now Just know I had planned it out I had everything plotted out down to the road we're driving down and the song that's playing now So if I feel it calling me don't touch the goddamn stereo. You know I felt the same way then when I was a kid in the city light sparkling glass on the concrete doing circles on the turnpike. You gotta hold on tight. I feel like I'm holding on to the memories I'm hardly holding on myself. I feel like I'm holding on to these memories I'm hardly holding on myself. You gotta hold on tight.

I Need You 03:15
I always thought that you'd be the first to go. I never thought I needed anyone until I fucking lost it all. When I was young I was trying harder to die than I've ever tried to live. Now with you softly glued to my heart I know what true love is. I need you.. I need you. I've been sifting through the pages going back to where it began. Back on moments of inner dialogue heartaches, and shaky hands. I saw you as ageless, but hurt. Now we're both battered and bruised. In the end I never thought you'd be someone else that I would lose. I need you.. I need you. I won't wait forever. I won't wait that long. I know I need you. But, in the ocean of love I'm starting to fucking drown. I need you.. I need you.

Red Bastards 04:19
I never lost the heart I had to fall in love. And I never lost the hope I had of growing up. But I never lost the loss I learned from falling in love. And I never lost the hope I had of growing up. That's why I'm sick of falling down.. So get up. That's why I can't relate to anyone at all. Some days I feel like I could live inside the van So let's go.. Then there's nights where I don't feel like I'm alive So I don't know.. I never lost the loss I learned from living through loveless lessons. And I never lost the hope I found in what's been given. That's why I'm sick of falling down.. So get up. That's why I can't relate to anyone at all. You can't calculate your whole life on mistakes. You can't live your whole life with such regret. You can add up all the sorrows in your heart And put it into a song about falling apart.

Time I've got because I wasn't made to waste or taught to stick around and wait for you. I no longer have a sympathetic heart and I owe that all to you. I heard all of your creaking bones that's how I know you can't carry a tune. Barefoot on frozen concrete on Valentine's Day running from the truth. But I don't play that game for you. I can wait. You know I'm never far enough away from you. You can build this house brick by fucking brick Build it all up for just us two. I can tear it down just as fucking quick And leave you buried in the rubble of your heartless tomb. I've seen all of your flaws. I've seen you ripped apart with nothing to hold on to. I don't have the fucking time or heart to sit around here just to wait for you. But I don't play that game for two. I can wait. You know I'm never far enough away from you.

I'm not lonely. I've got neighbors and I've got friends to call. I still feel empty And the message was on the wall. Is this disconsolate? Because holding on.. Holding on ain't living at all. I don't know why I feel like I'm drowning We're lost at sea. She sang songs as she paints my hero to my arm while I sang soft. Hanging in the van with my friends. We got home just in time to see the world fucking end. I don't know why I feel like I'm drowning We're lost at sea. You're old enough to know You're old enough by now to realize the things you should have learned in school But, they are all shut down. Everything is different These days just creep. Everything is different. This is life on repeat.

Paper Hearts 04:38
I've been running for my life still trying to catch up with you. Do the thoughts in your heart mean anything at all? I've been trying so hard to catch up with you. I'm still running in place. I just don't know where to go. And I'd love to get all those little feelings back I spent on you. And I'd love to get them back to spend on someone new. I'm still running from my shadow. I can only lose at night. I swam through rainy nights under city lights going through the motions of every single fucking fight. There's still so much I'd love to tell you. But I think I left my heart back in Philadelphia. And I'd love to get all those little feelings back I spent on you. And I'd love to get them back to spend on someone new. I'm still running from my shadow. I can only lose at night.

I don't think I can sing these songs, but my social life is taking a dive. I don't think I can play these songs, but I love the moments and the times. So I wait, and I wait, and I wait, for the chorus that we can sing along. And I stop, and I start, and I stop because I'd rather be sitting at home. I feel like there's nothing left for me. I don't feel it in my head, my heart. I don't feel it anymore. I sang these songs before, but they still don't feel like they are my own. I'm a broken fucking record, baby. And I'm singing to adhere to all these songs. So I wait, and so I wait, and so I wait for the one part to sing along. And I stop, and I stall, and I stop because I'd rather be going home. I feel like there's nothing left for you. I don't feel it in my head, my heart. I don't feel it anymore.

First One No 04:39
You've been giving me the creeps It's like every time I talk, where I end, you begin. Always heard through paper walls. It's like I only hear screaming when you talk. You've been getting in my head Quick to moments that I'd forget You've been crawling under my skin Poking out so deep from within. I don't mind, but I don't have the time for this tonight. You've been haunting me all night Rumbling through my brain when it's dark. You keep calling me so fuck this phone Don't leave a message because I ain't home. No, I don't wanna hang I've got better company when I'm alone. I tried being nice, but it never works. You double down on hints, in solid force. I don't mind, but I don't have the time for this tonight. You've been giving me the creeps It's like every time I talk, where I end, you begin. Always heard through paper walls. It's like I only hear screaming when you talk. You're still getting under my skin. Voiceless hopes, like you could hook me in. Silence cracks the sounds off my phone Like I've said a million times.. Leave me alone. I don't mind, but I don't have the time for this tonight.

about

Don't get too excited. It's only a collection of our recent EP's from Shards Recording Studio. They're also mixed and stuff so it sounds pretty rad if you compare it to the EP versions of the songs. I asked my friend Darby about if he liked the songs and he said we were playing it all wrong, the drums were too slow and the bass was too fast. He also said the chords were wrong and we made the endings too long. Can't win them all..
