lyrics

On my first night away, I honestly thought I’d have much more to say than the same old selfish refrain that I’ve been repeating since I learned my name. And what do I have to do but soldier on and prove to you that a life can be lived in spite of the ghosts that rent rooms in my brain every night? And I’ll throw them out, but they make their way back the next day with the looming doubt I’ll be fine on my first night away.

DENT

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
