A Journalist Falls In Love With Deathrow Inmate #16

First song i wrote on my ukulele :) i recorded this on my phone so it sounds terrible but that's ok life goes on 

"backup rubber bands wrapped around my wrist. my hands are cold, open windows, sitting watching storms roll in. it’s harder to admit when things are getting bad again. guilty, crimson waters feed the valleys of my covered skin.

call a therapist, it’s emergency, lift my head, i’m worn. my eyes are awful sore. call a therapist, it’s a emergency, fix my head. i can’t take much more (of this shit).

at my highest i can feel the shifting of the heart of the mountain. climbed- god i climbed, and now i’m falling faster than i can say “wait, i wanna stay this way.” i don’t think i’ll ever feel the same again.

if i’m slipping on the rocks on my way up, would you reach out to help me? would you not? would you love me, love me, love me all the same if i can’t reciprocate the light you showed me?

if i’m sitting caught in the rain, slowed on my peak, if i am blue in the face, unable to speak, would you still love me, love me, love me?”

Backpackparty - Life At Sea

Over the last five years, the band have accumulated more EPs and albums than most bands achieve in several lifetimes, blurring garage rock, lo-fi, anti-folk, prog, psych and pop into one almost indefinable expanse. More than any of these previous releases, In The Best Case… incorporates the songwriting input of James Buzzanca (bass) and Joe Coleby (drums) resulting in epic, tight, bass-rich sonics akin to Mystery Jets, The Wave Pictures, Herman Dune and Arcade Fire. On top of these sit the abstract, everyday lyricism of frontman Reginald Foxwell charting topics ranging from the relative speed of slugs to death to love to the end of the world.

Bombadil - A Sunny December

Two Hearts and No Brain

My Smile Is Extinct

this is a song letting out three and a half years of pent up frustration.

you're going to community college
which means that i'll be here for you
so you can place me on hold and call me
when you fail your tests
cuz you'll fail your tests
and you say god fucking hates you
because you think you try so hard
but you were born to fail
and i've known that yet i still love you

i know you better than i should
accept the bad and love the good
but at some point love isn't enough to make this worth it

so this one's
for the rides back home
the only time we'd get alone
all the pictures on my wall
now we don't take any at all
it's for the catholic school you hate
but suddenly you seemed to change your mind
and now i'm second place
it's for you

and all your new friends will leave you
cuz they have better things to do
while i've spent three years knowing you'll stay at your house
wasting away the days like you do
you don't deserve to go away quite yet
because failure and laziness end up the same
but they're achieved by different ways

i can't keep lying to your face
you shouldn't be proud of your place in life
because 18 years of bullshit doesn't pay the bills

so this one's
for the rides back home
the only time we'd get alone
all the pictures on my wall
now we don't take any at all
it's for the catholic school you hate
but suddenly you seemed to change your mind
and now i'm in second place
it's for you
yeah this is for the lies you told
all the hands you chose to hold
every place you said you'd be
but you were always late for me
for your dad who never tried
when i held you while you cried
our beginnings and our end
it's for you

you're in community college
which means that i'll be here for you
so i can love you until i can't do it anymore
i can't anymore

He doesn't know it yet
She's gotten into his head
He's getting carried away
With all the things that she said
He doesn't know how hard
She's going to break his heart

He seems to think that she's the
One that he's been waiting for
He's picked apart his past and
Thrown away the things he can't afford to lose
But he's so easily deceived
She's going to make him see

You foolish child
You hopeless romantic
You took it for granted
The lessons you had learned
'Cause she is the fire
And you wanted her warmth
But how many times must you burn
Before you learn

He's only new to this
Romance like calculus
Flipping through pages of notes
Some goddamn formula he wrote
To understand his heart
Before it falls apart

He just can't see that
This is love, it's not the lottery
But still he tries to put together
Numbers like some poetry
That plays out like a movie scene
A perfect ending shining on the screen

You foolish child
You hopeless romantic
You wasted your chances
On another pretty face
She tried to warn you
But you chose to persist
So don't act surprised that her song
Ended like this

Like Calculus
