People We Know 03:07
lyrics

The exception of love With the burden of friendship A later year Subaru with a Couples therapy session Paper lanterns cushion no blow Couples angrily beating their cellphones Wrapped in foil, saved for later Hipsters with a nihilist grin Ordering simple hot drinks For comfort in the morning I ask "what's basic?" and you reply "this." I'm ok with it And though I hate the smell of coffee in the morning I'll sit and sweat through pounds of grounds in the evening Just for the chance you may move your right hand to the west So when you hit the roundabout Do you stop to think about "What's John doing now?" But when you hit the roundabout It's far to late to think about Tomorrow When you're driving home alone Do you think about your phone Cuz I'd like to hear your voice But when you hit the roundabout It's far to late to think about Anyone other than yourself

God, your holy high The space between my thighs And up your spine, down mine The top, of one to three I've learned how to be In everyone, back on top Cuz I, miss you so much But Hell is a short walk And Heaven's for you, it's only for you, it's only for you Heaven's for you And Heaven's for you Heaven's for you It's only for you It's only for

You listened to the same song for two hours I watched it happen You said it made you sad and you liked it Well that's not healthy I hope it hurt as much for you As it did for me It's ok if it didn't I can paint a frame Anyway that I like Sympathy always comes In many different shades In guitars and chords Introspective lyrics to make it seem like We should all be adored But I don't want your love I want you to listen And get on with, oh get on with it And realize that I'm just as evil as you all As you all Murder is undetected in the memory So rip up that jacket Keep my spine where it belongs The puddle splashes I hope you see it as often as I, See it in everything It's ok if you don't Keep it alive, keep it alive When all you want is to kill it Keep it alive, keep it alive When all I want is to kill it

Friends (The New Year) 04:46
lyrics
buy track
No, you got friends I know But are you, brave enough to tell them where you were that weekend No, you're not alone I know But would you have guessed this stared as a love song, for someone I didn't even know Well I've been compelled in recent weeks To believe there's no such thing I know you've been dying for weeks Oh I'm sorry we haven't been bedside And I know you still shake in your sleep Oh I'm sorry but how could you blame us A text book sign Of blowing of smoke Oh how were we to know? And oh, those friends are gone We all got our holes to hide in, post-graduation No, I've been feeling alone Ever since I made a habit of trying to get all you People I don't know, to hate me It's easier, trust me I know you've been stuck in the past Oh I'm sorry the yellow still scares you And I know you've been trying your best But there really is no proof to say so You're better at your worst Suppose we all know That times still gonna go Sleep, when you're tired I'll watch the house from the locked medicine cabinet New Year Old People Sleep when you're tired Wake me at midnight

about

This album is for the lonely places. It's for your friends. It's for this increasingly strange and scary world we live in.
And I sincerely hope you like it.

I would like to thank everybody who ever gave me an opinion on my music, came to a show, told me I sucked, and specifically

Trevor Crupi: For practically writing half the album and pushing me to go places I was scared to go musically
Jacob Lawrence: For being the best living human and bass god known to man and always keeping it real
Jesse Ericksen: For being the original ride or die homie
The Leave it to Chance Boys: For giving me a space to record, being super supportive, and being the best Midwest pop-punk act
Korynne Kalen: For lending her heavenly voice to the album and being a great friend
My Family: For constantly putting up with my shenanigans and noise
And finally,
You, the Listener: Without you this would be mindless screaming into the void
