I've got a brain that I barely use
It's such a waste, and there's no excuse
I've got some time before work starts
So I'll call you up 'cause we're worlds apart
And now I'm waiting for a message back
My God, it's raining. Can you call me back?
I see the teachers squirming in their seats to leave
I'd do the same thing if my checks weren't enough to eat
And every day it's like the same thing
I'm freaking out like all cool kids
Their mom and aunts don't bat an eyelid
All my friends think I'm going insane
And you all sulk around like I did
I can walk with the freshest kicks
And don't you worry 'bout my mileage
I'll set alarms for the morning now
I've got no lines in this D-rate show
I'm not the star, I'm just a background role!
My broken heart heals twice as fast
They said I'd grow up strong and kick so much ass!
Your judgey eye glare tells me I'm no good
Your blank faced ice stare, I wish you understood
I hear the sigh under your breath, it kinda makes me think
If you're so unhappy, don't you think you got shit to rethink?
But everyday's a little different
I'm looking forward to the good things
I don't get hung up on your words and
All my friends think I'm going insane
And you still sulk around like I did
I can walk with the freshest kicks
And don't you worry 'bout my mileage
I'll set alarms for the morning now
And all the sad kids, they're wanting ice cream
And in their daydreams, it tastes so nice
I like to drive far and sleep in my car
Get lost in all stars
And when it's nighttime, I'm in no mood to fight
Oh, everything's alright
But everyday's a little different
I'm looking forward to the good things
I don't get hung up on your words and
All my friends think I'm going insane
And you still sulk around like I did
I can walk with the freshest kicks
And don't you worry 'bout my mileage
I'll set alarms for the morning now

You wonder, how you wonder why things never change
The snow and rain brings comfort to your rotting brain
Gonna spend my days inside my house
Watching paint dry
Sitting on my bed, I'm on my phone
I do this every night
You played me like the fool I am; I suck at games
It would be nice if you backed off and went away
I can list a few reasons why
You give no glee
You can try to twist my words
I call that embroidery
I recall a special place for all my hopes and dreams
I hope I find out what you meant to me
I can list a few reasons why
You give no glee
You can try to twist my words
I call that embroidery
I hope I find out what you meant to me

Superstars shine their lights up wide and far
Screaming crowds; blinded like the fools we are
They don't care for your well-being
They want your cheers
They're only here to grab your money
And disappear
All cool friends show up when they want your help
They take and take and they never wish you well
There's no control in those dynamics
There's no support
They'll dodge your calls, pretend they're sick
And forge the report
I can plainly see that you're just like me
You let them talk their talk
You're just fine being empty
There's no growing up
It's fine feeling left out
My days are counted up for this year
Why should I care?
I'm disappointed in the way you are
With a lack of grace, I'll find excitement to wipe these scars
I'm still here and I don't know which way is up.

Remembering days were I'd want to kiss your face
No one ever asked to be here
Do you know how you got there?
Oh my God, I could really use you now
Just to hold you 'till I die
And give a proper goodbye
But tell me something, would you love me true?
For every word I've split in two for you
Suicide never made me feel that good
I could never handle pain well
I'd rot alone in this jail
It's not my fault, but you used to say it was
I gave my all for you
You're making my heart blue
And now I take back what I gave to you
With all my strength I bid you all adieu
I could never say good night without ever meaning it
I'm tired of smelling gaslight
You always liked control
I feel so cold
There's no remorse from you
But tell me something, would you love me true?
For every word I've split in two for you

Cooler heads will prevail
Sweater-bound to a chair
I don't fear any loss
From now on, I'm the boss
I'm too fast; you're too slow
Feeling things is a huge no-no
Got you the pegged for the silent type
I can't tell if you're alright
And everyone I know is gone
And all those people say, "oh honey! It's okay!
They didn't like you anyway!"
I'm me be, be me
Goddamn, I know you are
Drill a hole into the Earth
Let me know just what I'm worth
And everyone I know is gone
And all those people say, "oh honey! It's okay!
They didn't like you anyway!"
I think it's so clear to see
That there's something wrong with me
Tainted thoughts will roam my head
My own form of punishment

E&PAB! - Raging At Aging

Hey, girl, you're a time bomb
You're a loser, get your game on
You've been slackin' on your work, kid
You drink too much of that good shit
And all of your problems, you caused
You cry about them at night
And can anyone help you move on
Where is your shiny white knight?
And oh! Your strings are rusted and your fingers are broken
What will you do when you can't play right?
I always know how to get the best of you
You really need therapy instead of raging at aging
Hey, bitch, you're a champion
You're the winner of the nerds and
You're a target for deception
And all the cool kids take advantage
Cause they know that your spirit's too kind
It's not black or broken like mine
You've never been taught to say no
Well I think it's about damn time
And oh! I feel so cold when you're not here next to me
And I feel empty, like, all the time
And oh my Lord, the way you sing makes me crazy
I really need therapy instead of raging at aging
I need some change to go far away
Away from this hell I live in
Let's toast to this pain!
This is the hill I die on
And oh! I feel so cold when you're not here next to me
And I feel empty, like, all the time
And oh my Lord, the way you sing makes me crazy
I really need therapy instead of raging at aging

Ah, get up a gun
Not a cloud but a cool breeze and the sun
Beating down and the ocean’s all I see
And let me tell you gotta eye suspiciously
Now it’s time to get busy with a cap and a fade
Got no clues on telling how far out we’ve made
But for the ocean and the forces closing in
I feel nervous like I haven’t ever been
In my submarine
There’s a noise I’ve been anticipating
A horn blows from above
I could see it in her eyes she could handle the surprise
But it’s just one thing that I love
I came here to say, we’ll knock ‘em away
I’m here with you no what happens today
Amidst the troubles of war, I know
Would I ever be anywhere else in my day?
Even when all that is to fear has been taken away
Ah, crank up the jet
The room is drowning in the shouting and the sweat
Running round to the controls I eye the rear
She’s not responding can you even hear me dear?
We got a visitor now and it’s in through the ceiling
Several more just to confirm my sinking feeling
Make a break and leave several men writhing in pain
Strung about the charred and battered remains
Of our submarine
As the water hits my face I can feel
We’re getting rained on from above
I’m headed for the surface I gotta get some air
Don’t get damn well near enough
I gasp and I choke, there’s nowhere to go
A few more heads come up but mostly all of us know
It’s the troubles of war, it’s now
Will I ever be anywhere else in my day?
Will I ever be anywhere else in my day?
Even when all that is to fear has been taken away
Hey hey yeah-oh yeah!
Deep beneath the ocean waves
Not much happens around here
But still I see…
That’s the troubles of war, I know!
Yeah that’s the troubles of war, I know!
A story buried beneath the waters of time, I know!
(Burying me washing me out)
That’s the troubles of war, I know!
Armies decay in the infinite well
Leave us underwater as we go straight to hell
How do you live in a great big fiery bomb?
In our submarine
There’ll be no more getting down to business
In this cooled out metal glove
Sunk to the ocean floor to serve its purpose evermore
A hundred years and never coming up… up… up…
Up in the clouds, is that even allowed?
Lost the battle for the people who’ve forgotten me now
Oh, would I ever be anywhere else in my day?
Anywhere else in my day
Would I ever be anywhere else in my day?
I will never be anywhere else in my day
Would I ever be anywhere else in my day?
I will never be anywhere else in my day

Come on old friends and listen up
I gotta tell you all about how I
Fucked up when lost you in primer days
It’s not true
It’s you I’m talking to and well
It’s high time now I’d break the
Holding spell I put myself under and away
You had the answer on the open lane
But not enough to hold me to it
I’d keep up my attention long enough to say
I’m gone
Come down old friends I have the mic
I was driving northbound on the
Only highway that could get me off my mind
It’s so true
I can’t believe
I lost it so you see
It’s not my fault I only did what I thought right
So keep up with the traffic on the open lane
Not too close that you understand the plight
I’d keep to your attention just for you to say
You might
And you had the answer on the open lane
But not enough to hold me to it
I’d keep up my attention long enough to say
I’m lost

Turning tricks on Sunset
Twenty bucks a pop
Some out of town ol' businessman or an undercover cop
I'm living with the virus flowing way down in my veins
Oh oh, I wish it would rain
I know you've heard my story
Or seen me on the street
Just another cracker gigolo
Dressed up like trick or treat
Now you may want to judge me
Or treat me with disdain
Oh oh, I wish it would rain
Memphis, Texas, Houston, Tennessee
Man I'm just so turned around
I don't know where I want to be
This California desert is driving me insane
Oh, I wish it would rain
So I've squandered my resistance
Taking any kind of drug
Oh I'd smoke or shoot or eat it, I'd drink it from a jug
And I offer no excuses for your sympathies to gain
Oh oh, I wish it would rain
Everybody knows me as the kid
I've made it seven years and still I don't know how I did
I come from a long line of live and love in vain
Oh, I wish it would rain
Well I've prayed to Mother Mary
I've even seen a priest
When the angels come to get me
I know I'll be released
I'll leave this mean ol' desert bound for Memphis on that train
Oh oh, I wish it would rain
Oh oh, I wish it would rain

your friend on top of the stone circle
with hero hair and standing like they knew a thing
explaining to me all the nuances
of how the earth dances in its turning
i didn’t see you but i felt your presence
just by something in the air
and while your friend spoke of cycles
i felt an old one come up right there
it always seemed that you preferred to see them rather than me
but i know that’s just a thought i have when stuck in reckoning
but also the field of my vision is just you most of the day
do i stand and wait or roll on through and break a precious thing
something ordinary’s lost along the way
in between the movie and the going home
my hands outstretched towards you, full of grains
giving me more than i’m giving you
can’t count the beats of a heart while it’s still loving
you don’t wanna cut off the stream of blood
i don’t wanna stay up all night looking through pictures
but you can’t tell water to jump out of the jug
i use you to fix myself
by rubbing you on whatever goes wrong
and i imagine so does everyone
who’s felt you heal them
i’d rather go without
and leave you be
but when it hurts this bad
i don’t know if i can put you down
because you’re the only one
who keeps my head off of the road and dry
i know that isn’t fair to rely on you
for every little thing
like making you protect a speck of dust
in a rainstorm that follows you around
i don’t wanna keep you any longer than i have to today
you’ve got a country road ahead of you to frolic along
and plenty of other friends who constantly rotate around you
and knowing that begins the cycle again

staying still in the branches
high above people walking
holding our arms together
close cause they’re fun to hold
feels good to hold my mind in one place for a while
feeling your coolness and soft, silky hair brush my face
can we please cocoon here,
stay hidden for a year?
no, time has to touch what it brings into being
or we would grow dry and stale
sunbeams cushion the fall of the heart
and warm our skin softly
today while these branches are holding us
just let me hold you

Sam Park - Book of Sand

The pages in my mirror won't turn
So I'm stuck on a part hard to read
I regret I'll forget how to learn
But the dead would be good company
I'm hating the way that I look
So I unmask my glasses to read
And imagine the print in the book
Words a sturdier version of me
I'm waiting til I understand
That who I was is who I am
I've got a pen but need a hand
I was hiding, now I'm writing from the book of sand
No, the sinning and saving won't end
Because sex makes reflections of me
If you go from a foe to a friend
Then you were, now I am, we will be
We will babble in Babylon's lot
A soul and a boulder apiece
And rebuild what we killed when we fought
Reverse a curse from history
I'm waiting til you understand
That who you are is who I am
I've got a thought but need a plan
I was reaching, now I'm teaching from the book of sand

When I was a child and mountains were small
I told myself someday I'd conquer them all
My body was growing and soon I'd be tall
Taller than the trees
My mind was a canvas and so were the walls
I circled the answers with none of them false
When God sent me signals, I'd answer his calls
With thank you, yes, and please
"You know faith can move mountains," says that voice in my head
"So you've got to keep climbing that road up ahead,
Your reward is in heaven, but that's after you're dead"
I'm slowly climbing up the mountain
I lost my steps, got tired of counting
"I'm not alone," my echo's shouting
The earth, it trembles when I'm doubting
Halfway to heaven, I'd conquered them all
Most times, I debate if I'll get there at all
My body needs movement, my mind tries to stall
Stall til I can see
I cling to the cliff getting ready to fall
To steady my nerves, blood becomes alcohol
I try to remember when mountains were small
But I've lost that memory
"You know faith can move mountains," said that voice in my head
But I've since turned back from the path I was led
I'm headed towards darkness, but that's after I'm dead
I'm slowly climbing down the mountain
Retraced my steps, and now I'm counting
"I'm all alone," my echo's shouting
The sky, it trembles when I'm doubting
The sky, it trembles when I'm doubting

Rabbit Season EP

Rabbit Season really brings out the sadness in you and wrings it out. Tiffany's vocals and the guitar lines are so fucking good. You'll need to have this in your collection.

Ahhh, this album. I've spent hours blasting this album on full volume. Loud guitars, loud drums, high energy, angry vocals, sad lyrics. What's not to love?

I found these guys trying to look for female fronted Midwest emo bands. They're not really Midwest emo, but certainly have an emo quality to them. I can't get enough of the vocals
