Devon Kirby Very well done release. Every song is done beautifully and you can tell they put a lot of effort into this album. Can't wait to see what's next from these guys. It's only going to get better. Favorite track: Sorry, Dad.

These could be delusions, I'm feeling excluded Maybe I've had too many beers This could be the distance or just indecision It's no surprise to hear I'm insecure I'm placing emphasis on remaining restless instead of confronting my fears I've touted conviction while shifting with the wind I ran from what I could not endure It feels like we're drifting my thoughts could be fleeting But we don't even speak anymore If that's it after all then where does the line fall? We're suddenly oddly taciturn I've harbored this anger but I want to belong here My mind is something that I abhor I've coveted community and wrestled with anxiety I'm frozen when my passion once burned I made a promise to myself The words seem unfamiliar now So I stopped dreaming and seeking help And now I'll never be let down It's hard to chase what you've never known While struggling with self-control It's the escape, and it feels like home 'Cause I let everything else go

Amalgamation 03:17
I've been wondering if I should tell you Exactly how you make me feel I know you've already met someone I know I'm not as cool as him I must admit that I've been thinking about you Every night before I go to sleep And when I wake up without you The harsh reality it sinks in I wanna feel your lips Do they mesh with mine? I wanna feel your cheek I'll tell you all the time I don't anticipate much luck on my end These thoughts will remain just that But still I can't help thinking Goddamn your hands are soft And this might not make sense But I miss your hand in mine And this might not mean much But I'll never take it back

All it takes is a little effort A step away from what's become familiar It's only as bad as you make it seem But I've always been one to take it easy And I have tried to retrace And figure out how I got this way But all I'm feeling is guilt And that don't amount to shit I know I'm not bad but I still know I could be better And it's true that I'm afraid of what lays buried beneath deception Honesty with myself might shed light on my intentions Instead my head and heart wage over the best direction But you can't lose what you never had So I must come to terms with the life I've led I was afraid to get outside my head When I could have gone so far instead

Jailbird 03:22
Let's see just how long until you figure out The faults that I have are what have kept me in this town And to pass the time I sought destructive love A look into my past will rightly scare you off I know I'm no good but I'd like to have the chance To be thrown away by someone as beautiful as you This may go down one day as your biggest mistake And I may call you drunk one night and just ask you to stay Let's keep it secret, let's keep it safe I want to be alone, but I want you here 'Cause I've grown tired of inconsistency And I think that you may hold the key So just take one long look at me And realize what it is you need I've got nothing left to give But I'll take your love, I'll make it fit I will do my best not to weigh you down 'Cause I've gotten used to the idea of having your around I probably won't do right by self And I may require too much help The cause was lost long before your showed up And I understand if I'm not worth your time And you'd be smart to walk away Just don't be pissed off if I linger while waiting for your mind to change

Sorry, Dad 02:59
We could hit the road and not look bad Sleep each night on our friends' couches Establish our own way of living With basement shows and vegan potlucks But what if this does not work out? Will I sell my gear and settle down? Get a real job and leave the Midwest Maybe I'll have some better luck somewhere I know most folks won't understand why I quit school and play in a band And maybe make ten bucks a gig I defaulted on my student loans to sing along at my friends' shows I learned more about the world that way
