All For Not 02:38
I'm feelin queasy on my feet After lying for all this time. But now I'm trapped in What didn't happen I tried to forge a home, Instead I'm bruised and cold. I found a place to hide, But I still don't feel alive. I've got a ringing in my ears After fighting for all these years My throat is closin, And the towel's thrown in. I tried to walk alone, Instead I'm bruised and cold. I found a place to hide, But I still don't feel alive.

All the Shadows that I hid from you Are finally catching up with me. Bite the water now I know you wanna chew, But the liquid's squeezing out your teeth.

Beach Days 02:57
Butt smoke done sting my eyes. Take the same way every night I let the pavement burn my feet. With this place I will take away I write down every day, Got bills to pay, no mouths to feed. Sink into the seaweed. The people I've seen, the places I've been; Don't radiate anymore. Make me feel, like I was young. Help me deal, with what I've become. I'm sorry Mom and Dad, I'm never coming back, This place is all I have. Slows down and step through the wall, Slurred speech when I get your call, To come hang out with your friends Torch two to clear my head, Lie down; should a crash in bed? With a life like this so bleak and dull, It's like I've seen it all.

Lament 01:01
I carried you for nine months. I had morning sickness the whole time. Since you've been born, it's been my job to take care of you and to make you into a man. The kind of man that I want to have around. You're not allowed to tell me to leave you alone; you're not allowed to talk to me like an asshole. You don't have the right.

Waiting Up 01:35
Do you ever wonder where I sleep at night? It's not in my bed, it's not in my head. It's higher. Where have you been All this time? I was worried sick. Where have you been While I've been home Waiting up? For you.

The World is Sick Everyone I know is gonna die someday And it all keeps going on anyway, Cuz the world is sick. I hope that one day I too will fall I thought I knew it all anyway, Cuz the world is sick And don't tell me that you like it here. Cuz the view outside this Hospital window is Looking pretty tempting right about now.

Foul Creek 01:09
I seldom trekked here My entire life. Inauspicious ramblings Like winter under my skin. A promising life I don't belong in. People in places that I'll never know Do you think of me, And all these places that I should be. Just stare down at your feet, And watch them travel Slowly Away from me.
8.
Cut inside I'm hemorrhaging, Took a chance to find a way to do The things I want to. Stand inverted infront of everyone Just a mock-up of who I was, But the sad part is it's all because. And I'm sinking like a fucking stone. February never seemed so cold. Is it something in it's tremors or it's tones. My thoughts change like the seasons, Without fucking rhyme or reason. Grey shorelines speak the same Let the cold blow by my face without you, And you didn't even fucking have to. Unoccupied in my commitments Just a body of empty convictions.
9.
The sky is burning, I'm turning always. I can't sleep over I got my own place. My heart is a wire is a glove, and like I said before; What I want to feel I started feeling. My endless nights I started stealing. I'm up I'm down who knows You're my place to hide, And you're leaving for the night. Fuck this ceiling my emotions are leaking. The air is never quiet, the cosmos humming. But hey, I'd rather be dead Than get a good night's rest.

about

This album was written over a span of 9 months by Collin Coviello, Ty Croteau and Laura Wicik. It gives a narrative of two male characters and their struggle to come to terms with their emotional and behavioral imperfections and insecurities. Written with songwriting influences from Rebecca Sugar of Adventure Time and Steven Universe and from such bands as Notches, The Pleasure Gap, Machete, and Chalk Li.

These songs tap into real emotions through introspective and deeply moving lyrics, melodic tension and kathartic releases in harmonic tension. The songs were saved on the first take to conserve the magical atmosphere of a beautiful day, two packs of ramen noodles, and a stacked sunroom; the perfect environment to sing about the lives of teenage friends and fantasies of proving yourself in the future.

Recorded at Salter Studios with Alex Salter by Collin Coviello, Tyler Croteau, and Chandler Wishart.
Mixed and Mastered by Alex Salter and Evan Benoit.
