E&PAB! - Oh, Justine!

If you think you can't make mistakes, then you're wrong
You're only human, babe, not some kind of drone
And I ask, "when's the last time that you smiled?"
You'll throw your hands up and say, "it's been a while"
And I say, "oh, Justine..."
It's been quite a while since we talked
Do your hands still shake when you forget how to talk?
And you still stand with plastic cups alone
Do you feel like a person?
No, I didn't think so!
And I say, "oh, Justine, I know it's hard to relate"
I can't expect you to not be full of hate
But when the moment comes, you know that you'll wanna be safe
So how can I let you know that you can trust me?
Everything you say makes you feel sorry!
Everything you do makes you feel bad!
You're getting real tired of thinking you're stupid!
Maybe it's time that you went to bed!

Friends of Cam - Take Me

I kinda missed you a lot, today
But I guess it’s kinda dumb that I ever thought we had a shot
I had to go so far away
And I guess I kind of pushed you even further from me than I thought
But if I ever see you again
God forbid
Take me to the bridge
Take me out by the water
We’ll just talk and talk
While the seagulls and birds fly on by
Your heart is a flutter
Well yeah, mine is too
Better jump up and catch it
Before it goes crashing
Like everyone else knew it would
Will I ever see you again
I guess it doesn’t matter, but I think about it now and then
Do you ever think of me?
Wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t, but hey
We’ve all got fantasies
I think back on what I did wrong
And it’s a stain on my Yale sweater
Big, dumb, doesn’t belong there
Oh no
So I threw it away
But then I dug it back up, now I ask
Please
Take me to the bridge
Take me out by the water
We’ll talk and talk
While the seagulls and birds fly on by
Your heart is a flutter
Well yeah, mine is too
Better jump up and catch it
Before it goes crashing
Like everyone else knew it would

I don't know how to begin
You and I and the states that we're in
Trying to learn from afar
Where we are
I think I'm being too much
Should I feel if you're too far to touch
I grind my worries to dust
Then combust
A second first impression
Hid signs of my depression
After thirty-six questions
Booked me for weekly sessions
I'll say a slow hello
I don't know how to proceed
How to heal when I hide when I bleed
I'll accept I'll never know
Where we'll go
I think I'm trying too hard
Wish you knew that I'm beautifully scarred
I turn my pain into light
Then ignite
Telecommunication
Along with strong libation
Intermittent flirtation
But manage expectation
Hi, hi, hi, hello, hello
Hi, hi hi, hello
Hi, hi hi, hello, hello
Hi, hi, hi, hello

think about a hammer
and how loud it can ring
think about a storm cloud
and what it can do to a tin roof down the street from you
when the winds get above 80
and the rain just won’t stop pouring down
think about a picture of a church in norway
and how many times it’s come up
think about a color in the color wheel
and what it can do to your mind at 3 in the morning
when your paper’s due tomorrow
and your eyes just won’t stay open
there’s a flash of light with straight dark hair who’s unprepared to save you
there’s a juice box in the corner of your messy room
there’s a mountain in your memory you can’t remember climbing
but the view from the top of it is cloming you
think about your back
and how low it’s been sinking
think about a laugh
and how it shakes you down and straightens you up when it comes from the one you love
when there’s reducing length between you
and your eyes just won’t stop smiling
think about a tree
and how you never really climbed them
think about your age
and feel the noon day sun upon your head start beating down
when there’s no time for confusion
and your legs start moving on their own
there’s a cannonball of energy
that hits you every morning
there’s a swimming pool that calls when you’re too hot to touch
there’s alaska to the north there if your temperature still fights you
but the road back down is longer i will warn you

You can be certain, you can be sure
But 100% doesn't mean anything no more
And it breaks my heart too now
You can be helpless, you can be scared
But that doesnt mean anybody cares
I feel it in my nose and my throat now
My names written on this book
but it don't feel like mine
And I dogear my pages
This one has writing on the line.
Ive had enough of this third degree
My OCD has been killing me
I dont know what you can see in me
This body is sponsored by Sertraline
I have no mouth and i want Ice Cream
You saw my ad in a magazine

At the impact’s crater
There was your creator
Seldom a sorry dog
All-pump-action purpose
Pencil ever-cracking under pressure
Back and forth
Palindrome society
Palindrome society
Am I just my labor?
Endlessly temporary
Pressured into making history
Everything is random
Mostly harmless
A metropolis of eddies in the washes
Pessimistic draining color, never settle
No such thing as perfect blue
Dying waiting

John Doland - Not Enough

I fear I’m not enough
I fear I’m not enough
My head will clear in time
When I belong today
When we will be okay
When I find my way
Fishing for a life
Retreating from what I strive
Life can get muddy
Life can feel muddy
I’ll take the high road
I’ll find a good home
I can be free
I can my
There will be a day
I will be okay
Fishing for a life
Retreating from what I strive
I fear I’m not enough
I fear I’m not enough
I fear I’m not enough

i saw a picture of the world to come
it never meant that much to anyone around here
we never saw the place that it could've been
but it's okay cuz its all in my head
and when you talk to me
i have a vision
a vision of all we could be
and when i want to see
i can see everything around
and now i cant tell if its over
i hope that its over
i wanna be free
and now that i think that its over
i just want you to talk to me (come on)
all of the ways i could say
you make me feel so unafraid
when i'm here in your arms
and when my vision hits the ground
you pick it up and turn me around
and when i think about it
i'm so lucky to have you
and now i cant tell if its over
i hope that its over
i wanna be free
and now that i think that its over
i just want you to be with me (come on)
all of the ways i could say
you make me feel so unafraid
when i'm here in your arms

Spring Machines - Doves

these trees make my bed
and will they sing me to my sleep or my death?
give me codes that I can't read in my head
cause I
don't know their language yet
I cant hear their language
guess I talk in my sleep
and there's doves and they're all painted like the sea
supposedly the messengers of peace
but I don't know what they mean
they just scream all of my loneliness to me
to me
to me
in my sleep I grab on
to the tails of the ever frozen stars
they fell into my cradle of arms
they burned my hands with frozen strands of truth that I can't cling to
cling to
that I can't cling to
your codes in my head
they're all falling like the comets in the sand
glowing with the truth I can't handle
but I think I can hear them now
I think that I can hold them

everybody’s having ugly days
everybody’s having ugly days
Oh how I wish everything stayed the same
everybody’s having ugly days
Baseball hats to hide the face
no one sees me anyways
I can hide beneath the shades
Sometimes I don’t feel today
Is gonna end up going my way
Walks to the mailroom awake
Gotta get some sun someway
Make sure these bones don’t ache
Like an old man on Holiday
everybody’s having ugly days
everybody’s having ugly days
Oh how I wish everything stayed the same
everybody’s having ugly days
No one’s living life these days
we’re all just slowly wasting away
Everybody’s having ugly days
Everybody’s having ugly..
And I don’t think that’s ever going to change\

You said I know things change inside of you.
You know I’ll be going through them too.
That’s what I’m here for, that’s why we keep ourselves to use.
We both wanted something new.
And we can find a place more permanent to stay,
Where we can build something for both of us some day.
Sometimes it’s hard to take things slow,
When we can feel ourselves grow old,
But we can take it, yeah we can make the time to grow.
Said there’s some things you just know.
One day they’ll see us in everything they do,
So I’ll keep making plans to spend my life with you.

Rabbit Season EP
by Elmer Flood
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.

Laughing e.p.

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
