Tied and bound
My legs still squirm
But they've been long pinned down
And I can't help but think
You've been wasting candles on me
Everyone returns to their routines
And Stella's still around
Talks of how she climbed atop her house
Just to get ahead
And I can't help but think
You've been wasting candles on me
Everyone returns to their routines
But I'm still shifting
And I'm sorry I reek of smoke
And I'm sorry I let you go
Been wished away
That's when I choked
Been wished awake
So I never spoke
So tell me
What is becoming
Of a rapidly aging shape
I held my hands up high
And I,
I lowered myself back down
And I,
I let you jump
'Cause I,
Don't think I'm fit for you.

One of my favorite albums that I’ve stumbled across while exploring music sites, and one that I spent a good couple years tracking down on a physical format due to just how good it is.
This kind of soft, emo-style rock really ticks a lot of boxes for me, and the opener really hooks you in with some great riffs and vocal tone from the singer. Past all that, it’s nice and short too, which means I get the pleasure of listening to it a lot of times in succession. Cardian Matsu
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!

I love mom jeans. It immerses myself in those unforgettable feelings and makes me weep, and I smile as the trumpet starts to play. How wonderful. zhangzhanglang
