Stuck alone with a blabbermouth
Who hasn’t stopped talking for 20 minutes
Doesn’t seem to know that I’ve already zoned out
To another world where I’m
Free from all the excess bullshit
Avoiding questions like “have you found a job?”
And my girlfriend kicked me out
Now I’m stuck in a room with Luongo
Eating chips and dip and watching Donnie Darko
Man, my life’s a mess
And I’m tired of people asking me
If I’ll ever go to school and stop eating for free
Does it look like I know, you fucking pricks?
Can you all just please stop asking me? You’re driving me insane
And I’m sure that you’ve got things to do besides pushing me around
I don’t really know if I’ll be okay.

Valentine's Day Blows

I take it back, it was just a waste of my time
Drinking on ten o’clock on Valentine’s Day
I know, it really isn’t alright
I’m kinda thinking twice about going outside
Cause the sun’s beating down on my tired eyes
At least it has the decency to let me know before I get fucked!
Yeah!
What day is today? It’s the middle of the week
I’m sitting on my couch drinking bottles of Fanta
3 P.M. and there’s nothing to eat
If I’m on good behavior, do you think Santa
Will give me free stuff? Cause I’ve got no cash left
I used it all to buy some dope incense
For seven months, I bet you didn’t know
I was stuck in my room, feeling like shit and
I couldn’t let go cause you never really told me
What it really was that I did or didn’t do
But instead you just told my best friends
You couldn’t even fucking tell me exactly why it ended and
All this time, I thought you really cared
I’ve been trudging along for the past seven months
But now I know that you never cared about shit!
And was I wrong?

Ever since the recession, things have been really lame
And ever since my depression, I haven’t been the same
Cause I lost my job to a stoner and I lost my car to a robber
Now I’m stuck in a place I've never been before
And ever since my friends left me, I’ve been getting really drunk
And cause I dropped out of college, you could say that I’m fucked
Cause no one’s looking for a high school degree
Who would they hire? It sure ain’t me
They gave the job to someone who’s qualified!
And now, you see, I’ve sure fucked up my shitty dreams
With no way left to save myself. How can I redeem myself?
I’ve got no money, I’m broke as hell
And there isn’t anything to find over here
And cause my house got robbed, I’ve got no fucking forks
I have to eat with my hands, I look like a fucking dork
And I’m way too poor to afford another pack of sporks
Jesus Christ, can someone help me out?
Recently, I started smoking, cause I still haven’t found my car
Last night, I just stayed in watching Veronica Mars
And I know that I’ve been really lazy, give or take 3 weeks to find
A brand new job and a brand new view of life
And now, you see, I’ve sure fucked up my shitty dreams
With no way left to save myself. How can I redeem myself?
I’ve got no money, I’m broke as hell
And there isn’t anything to find over here
Now I’m jobless and in debt
Stumbling drunk, living with regret
Bought a case of smokes that I’ll probably lose
There’s no furniture in my room
I found my car, but it’s broken down
Now I’ll take the bus and go downtown
And hopefully, I’ll finally find a job I can keep
We like to drink cause we want to forget how to party
Just to wake up the next morning to do it again
Cause we all have jobs that we all hate, a constant note of our mistakes
To tell us that our dreams are dead, I wish that I could say
That I miss that days where I could sit back in my chair and reminisce
About young age and teenage angst, I wish that I was dead
But we trudge along this thing called life
No matter how hard things might get
So don’t be scared to take some risks
Even if you end up dead.

And I know I’ve been down for the better part of the week
I’ve been so sleep deprived for months
And it sucks to lose your job and you didn’t even get to go on vacation
When you gave your time just to eat
But none of that matters now, go live your life.
Beth helped me move into my shitty one bedroom
She asked if we could “hook up and spoon?”
I said, “No, your offers kind, but I only do relationships.”
She knocked my boxes down and stormed out
I’ll keep those boxes down and drink a beer
Sit down on my sink and think of ways to high-tail out of here
When I look around, all I see is mold
I can hear the sounds of people screaming, “God, why can’t you give me a break? Amen!”
And I lied! I did! I wasn’t really working two months ago!
I’ve been scraping by on my parents cash and home
I’ll get it right, eventually when I’m old and over 40
Then I’ll pray to God for my sins.
Amen!

One, two, three, that’s how this song goes
I’m running out of patience, where did you all go?
All the itty-bitty things that I have to tend to
They’re piling up and up and it’s thanks to you
Oh, I never ever thought that it’d be this way
I’ll drink half a bottle or more today
Things got really really stupid, I knew it from the start
You’re all boring anyways, why do you all suck?
Oh, and there’s another 20 dollar bill that’ll I’ll never ever ever fucking give back
You say I talk too much when you talk shit
About other every other person behind their backs
You can never be forward, you have to play games
With the people you befriend ‘cause you’re insecure
You have to have control since no one you know
Has ever thought you’re cool, they think you’re a bore
You’ll be stuck in your room, choking on weed
And you’ll have a dead-end job that suits you more
And day after day, you’ll realize
That living this way will lead to your demise and
You’ll die alone inside your home
And when you look back to see the shit that you’ve missed out on
You’ll cry
Life’s too short to hold these grudges
You can learn a thing or two when you settle down
Dude, take a chill pill and, if you don’t have any,
You can sit the fuck down and count your pennies
The day has come where you need to think
Twice about your actions and the consequences
Are sure to come, so count your days
Or you can sit around and never have a good time

They're looking at me with their glassy eyes, they're gonna bury me
Dripping with Hennessy and ecstasy, they're gonna bury me
I guess I probably should have done my research
Hey!
And I know that it's darkest before dawn
'cause I've been staying up for way too long
And I know that it only takes one call
But we've got no options
Some people can fake it, but my arms are weak. My hands are shaky. No one's scared of me
Trying to keep the kamikazes still they're gonna bury me
I guess I should have watched where I was pissing instead of off the rocks
Of an abandoned Greenpoint dock
We had such an awesome night and getting shanked would be a disappointment
Oh, I understand the calm before the storm because
I like to hang out where it's warm
And I know that it's darkest before dawn
But I see clearly. Oh, I get it now
All the people I love the best
Are starting to get frustrated with me being a mess
And the people that I don't hate are always impressed
All the people I love the best
Have grown increasingly impatient with the person I am
And some people I hardly know will never understand
And I know that it's darkest before dawn
'cause I've been staying up for way too long
And even if I never get to call, I still loved you
Hope you loved me too
Doo doo doo do do do do doo
They're gonna bury me
Doo doo doo do do do do doo

Here we go, oh here we go again
With my supposed best friends and late night regrets
With a twelve minute song and a chipped glass bong
This shit keeps breaking, oh shit keeps breaking me down
Don’t lie, I know you think it all the time
You don’t want me around, but you’re too much of a pussy to say
What you want or how you really feel
I guess I should’ve noticed, I don’t know what I’m thinking
When I held you high like you’re the best that I can do
You all are horrible, no really, fuck you
Cause, as much as you deny it, you really don’t care
About any other people besides your own sex group
P.S.
Have a fun time fucking ‘till the Earth shakes
And getting blazed to the point where you lose half your brains
And if you see me walking down the street by myself
With my head held high and I don’t stop to talk to you
Then it’s something that I’m not ashamed to do cause
You keep breaking, oh you keep breaking me down
And my health, and you say that you’ll change, but
I’m through with waiting, cause shit keeps breaking me down
And my hope, how can I lose hope?
You were all I had
This shit is super fucked.

Go back to those gold soundz
And keep my advent to yourself
Because it's nothing I don't like
Is it a crisis or a boring change?
When it's central, so essential
It has a nice ring when you laugh
At the low life opinions
And they're coming to the chorus now
I keep my address to yourself cause we need secrets
We need secrets back right now
Because I never wanna make you feel
That you're social
Never ignorant soul
Believe in what you wanna do
And do you think that is a major flaw
When they rise up in the falling rain
And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
The trial's over, weapon's found
Keep my address to myself because it's secret
Cause it's secret back right now
So drunk in the August sun
And you're the kind of girl I like
Because you're empty and I'm empty
And you can never quarantine the past
Did you remember in December?
That I won't need you when I'm gone
And if I go there, I won't stay there
Because I'm sitting here too long
I've been sitting here too long
And I've been wasted
Advocating that word for the last word
Last words come up all you've got to waste

Can you please stop? You’ve got me feeling so bad
For shit I didn’t do, it was the wrong time and place
And all those stories aren’t true
You’ve got me feelin’ so ill. You’ve got me feelin’ so sad
And now I’m runnin’ in place, and all I need is that someone
To lean on
But I guess, it’s time to cross that line again
Where I isolate myself and get rid of my shitty friends
And, I here I am. I can’t take it no more
Because I’ve nothing to do, and when I wanna do something
I’d call you
You don’t pick up. That shitty voicemail
Is the last thing I hear before I set my phone down
To take one breath
You say it’s an accident
And you say that we’re still friends
But I have my doubts, there’s nothing more that’s
Keeping me here, disappointed with the way you turned out
Where are all my friends?
But I guess, it’s time to cross that line again
Where I isolate myself and get rid of my shitty friends
I’ve singled out the good ones from the rest
But I still feel the need to hate my best friends
And can you please make my wish come true?
Where I’m not dependant on anyone like you
Cause I’m tired in spite of everything
The way you treat me, the way you kick me down
“Turn that frown upside down”
But I guess, it’s time to cross that line again
Where I isolate myself and get rid of my shitty friends
I’ve singled out the good ones from the rest
But I still feel the need to hate my best friends
So, who needs friends when you don’t get invited to things?

Making out in the courtyard after lunch
You’re making me think about things that I don’t think much
And it’s killing me to leave so quickly, but I know I can’t stay
I wanna drink so much ‘till I forget your name
Writing songs to get the anger out
Cause, in the end, I thought you’d open your mouth
But such is life and it wouldn’t be life if there weren’t any pain
But I find it a little weird you had nothing to say
But in the end, who thinks that they’re alive?
And in the end, I knew it wasn’t right
Andy went off to buy himself some lunch
And here I am, sitting down, and starving so much
And he won’t share even though I haven’t eaten in 17 hours
It looks like I’ll have to starve for hours
But in the end, who doesn’t want to cry?
And in the end, why feel the need to try?
And in the end, who doesn’t wanna die?
I can tell you right now, I’m full of regrets
About meeting you cause you wasted my time
It’s nice to know that I’m the only one who put in the effort
I just wish I had left sooner
Cause in the end, we like to justify
What we do wrong was ultimately right
I can see now I was really depressed
After all this fucking mess, I was only lying to myself
Saying that I’m happy when I really was not
Just been trying to hold on to something that had disappeared
I know longer know why I’m here.

CONGRATULATIONS, NO ONE LIKES YOU
NO ONE LIKES YOU, NO ONE, IT’S TRUE
ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THINK YOU’RE DEAD
WITHOUT YOU, THEY’LL ALL BE JUST FINE
WHEN YOU’RE GONE, THEY’LL CELEBRATE THE
FACT THAT THEY DON’T NEED YOU AT THEIR WEDDINGS
And it’s time
To realize
THAT YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT THAT WOULDN’T FLUSH DOWN
EVERYONE YOU LOVED HAS FINALLY MOVED ON
SO GET ON BOTH OF YOUR KNEES AND JUST PRAY
THAT A RANDOM STRANGER NOTICES YOU
GIVES YOU A COMPLIMENT, IT’S JUST ENOUGH TO
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND MOVE ON THROUGH THE DAY
“Oh, I’ll be fine.”
Haha yeah, right!
MAYBE THIS IS GROWING UP!

Three day weekends spent at the beach with
Some of my friends I’ve known for so long
A pack of beer done, burnt by the sun
Dizzy days, I won’t be here long
I’m falling down, tripping on own my feet
Chloe and John are laughin’ at me
A bag of chips only lasts an evening
Pass out on the shore
And wake up to the warm rising sun
Getting lit in the backseat of the car while we’re speeding down the road again
Go to school again tomorrow and begin
The vicious cycle of never learning
Take the train home and never look back
The sun’s setting and it’s time to run towards
A very broken hope of living
In a house without my debt
Teaming up against me and conniving
Another to scheme to try and stop me
And everybody’s waiting on me to come around and I
Can’t find out exactly why I’m wearing this frown
It’s so hard to see exactly why I’m so fucking down
And it’s getting really hard for me to breathe

It would seem as if I’m kidding you
But, rest assured, these facts are true
I don’t quite recall why you left
When I gave you nothing but attention
You left me with a ton of questions
Now you’ve got me smoking cigarettes
And I dabble in weed
And I still drink
When you hopped on that plane, did you think to look back?
It’s been a couple months since I have seen your pale, white face
But tell me, is there any other way that I can make you stay?
I seem to be bummed out that you’re super far away
Who the hell am I to make you change?
It feels like yesterday that we got laughed by a drunk outside of Taco bell
Or when you cried in room that afternoon
Do you remember those times we’d talk past 5 o’clock?
My God, I would give anything just to relive that again
And I say, hello. Goodbye. Please live a well-lived life.
If I have learned anything, it’s that nothing good can come free
So enjoy your time, don’t get stuck with goodbyes
If I catch up, I’ll let you know, but I can’t guarantee anything

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.

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
