lyrics

I’m dusting off the lenses so I can focus on the last year in real-time. Logic’s in the left brain but I wrestle with my right side all night, and it’s warmer than it should be outside. Would you have the same problems in a new place? Are you resolute enough to shed your dead weight? And when asked for a direction, leave the form blank, slide out with a smile and a “no, thanks,” and find another flaw on which to fixate. But this is what you wanted, isn’t it? I still keep a list taped to my wall. It’ll take the paint with it when I peel it off. And I think it’s comparable to how we all carry the colors from all our former lovers as we move on. So do with all your time what you will. Take a running start or stay here at a standstill. And I know there are certain kinds of people who don’t do what they gotta do to get well. But you can still go to shows alone. You can leave when you want to. This is not the only place. All my problems, frozen in midair. I didn’t notice they were gone, I just kept moving and they stayed there. Constant motion, forever unprepared to accept my good luck for once.
Don’t fight it.

DENT
by Signals Midwest

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator

"you don't get to tell me oh it ain't so bad" -this line is empowering for me. hope to here more classic punk guitar riffs in the future as in "we drive forever like it's nothing" fartintheelevator
