Let’s keep me from falling out a bedroom window if we can
Just to avoid the next 3 three years with my head in the sand
“Let’s take all of the money we can and just fucking run”
He says to his friends before he’ll pin it all on his son
Find me another way out
I’m not comfortable going down with this clown
Took 23 years to find out
That nothing will gain but my self doubt
I just miss the summer, that’s all
I start to lose all my cred by late-fall
Now I just gain weight and get sad
From the beer, and cause I can’t be a college grad
I’m generally too busy to understand what’s really going on
Because I put all of my time into writing these dumb songs
And it’s with a voice of zero I’ll take my stand
To say that I’m just happy to be here, if in a one man band

Together we hate hate this guy we have to live with
But never each other, we share each other’s business
And a dream and goals, at this point to leave
And it doesn’t help to say that we constantly feel deceived
But I know we’ll make it out of here
Before we know it we will have disappeared
Fallen into a better world of our own
Where we will look back to see how much we’ve grown
Keep your head held high
And know I love you
When the day just won’t go by
You’re what helps me get through
Keep your head held high
And know I love you
I will take your advice
And make all of my promises come true
I’m a bit unhealthy, that much is given
But I’m more than ready and willing to listen
I wanna be your help as much as you are mine
And I promise to show every day how much I’ve tried
Keep your head held high
And know I love you
When the day just won’t go by
You’re what helps me get through
Keep your head held high
And know I love you
I will take your advice
And make all of my promises come true
Just hold me, you console me
Just wanna be near you
Just see everything with you/
Share all my plans with you

I bet you never wanted to ever be here
Laced up, neuce tied you're still driving
dodge salvation and dodge what's below
because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing now
Reality is gone when you dictate it
or never even come close to an understanding
I wish I could help I know that I do
And I've tried if you could ever know
You never could
Take the harder way out
It's understood
That you're the own source of your doubt
Thell them things tell us things to hold on
I like a mystery, I like a fucking crime scene
So if we could, please, drag this out all night
I wanna get in fights and sleep in the park
Just tell me if you don’t wanna hang out man
Being a bummer has become one of my signature traits
Like not having a working car
Or needing help of varying degrees to get through the day
You never could
Take the the harder way out
It's understood
That you're the own source of your doubt
What's it mean to be alive
Is it easy to die
I keep walking by
it's only honest, tonight

I say a lot of shit that I don’t really mean
And started heavily fucking up around my early teens
But that’s not all there is between me and a life that I used to hate
I’m grateful but don’t sound like it
And I’m wasteful but don’t live by it
I’d take everything I own right now, sell it and be tiny house bound
But first I just need some solid ground
So my lyrics are a bummer, and I’m sorry to all the happy people
Because anxiety and some shit can really be a handful
I disappear to go smoke weed
But that’s not all I wanna be
I wanna live the life I dream
And not always make music on this damn shoe string budget
But if I gotta wait for a while, then I guess I’ll just say fuck it
Living can be hard when you don’t see eye to eye
And day to day I’m tryin to be a better guy
I at least hope everyone knows how hard I try
Don’t wanna say goodbye, I’d like some friends tonight
I drive around any chance I get because it helps to ease all my regrets
Soon as I’m set, I’ll be high and could go either way
Either a song you wanna sing or a record you’ll never play
And what’s that say about me, about anything really
We live in a world with people who say guns don’t do any killing
But politics don’t really matter when you’re broke and sorting out your life
Like; I could just drive right off a cliff or I could go back to the fucking knife that I
Anyways, it’s just tough to see things change
Like the road I too to high school is always block in both lanes
And there’s cops on every corner so I’m losing places to go
And all the older people are always telling me things I know
But I guess all that’s beyond my control

Loudmouthed grunge rock from this Vancouver quartet is messy and heavy in the best possible way.

The Corruption of What Cheer?
by Jane Doe Ensemble
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble.

Workout / Dead As Disco
by Hearts and Rockets
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer.
