Growing Pains

From the album ‘Beneath The Brine’ (2014) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/fam-crest

Now with a wonder, she wakes by the curtains, she knows
That the morning brings an ending to our love
And the window it shakes with a silence that grows
Oh it hurts her but she's never never known

Oh it's not that bad when she goes
'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song
Oh it's not that bad when she's away

She knows my name she knows it well
And she knows my face more than herself
But I wish her well

Here in the morning she wakes without warning, she cries
"Oh, I love you dear!"
And this widow of old past insidious hearts
Well she screams a lot and cries to be alone

So it's not that bad when she goes
'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song
Oh it's not that bad when she's away

She knows my name, she knows it well
And she knows my face, more than herself
But I wish her well

Sometimes she stalks and moans like a ghost
And the way she throws her words
Well they hurt me to the bones
They weigh me down like stones

Here in the evening my words are deceiving and cold
And oh, with a wonder, our hearts torn asunder it shows
That her love was just an excuse to be loved

So it's not that bad when she goes
'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song
Oh it's not that bad when she goes
'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song

A sad song


The brainchild of frontman Liam McCormick, The Family Crest began as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder/bassist John Seeterlin. “We always liked making music with people—getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a seven-piece core band emerged, though the Crest boasts over 400 “Extended Family” members.
