i’m rolling off the deep end
losing out on sleep and
i don’t think i’m ever gonna stop
what’s another wager?
i think it’s in my nature
i just wanna make it to the top
when i think of you
cut me some slack, i’m holding back
when i think of you
i know it’s unhealthy, i know it’s bad
when i think of you
i’ve got an edge, i’m feeling blessed
when i think of you
lost another grand
i never understand why
take another spin
guess i never really know when to quit
always online lately
constantly debating
save me
god, you must fucking hate me!

Keep Your Cool, Man

‘course it all starts to hit when i’m lying in bed
maybe if you’d be so kind as to listen to all the problems in my head
i’d never have to worry about sleeping in
i’d never have to take these stupid meds again
everything is always moving too fast, too fast
can you make it slow down?
so i try flushing out everything that you said
“you gotta learn to keep your cool, man, or you’ll wind up dead!”
there’s gotta be a fucking switch i can hit to make it slow down
every time i try to close my eyes
i get hit with a wave of a million lights
each and every one of them is saying different things
every time! every time! every time!
i say shit i dont mean when i’m fucked up
called you, drunk, and i wouldn’t shut up
oh my god i should just keep my mouth shut
every time i get pissed off i should mull it over
sleep it off and call when i’m sober
send a text for digital closure
every time
sorry if it seems like i don’t give a fuck
i just really don’t appreciate any of the attitude
going down in flames is worse than going down at all
but it never really clicked for me
i never had that breakthrough

Bad Boys Boxing Club

it’s in my nature to wanna run away
i don’t wanna face the truth
i don’t want anything
anything at all
and my hands still tremble
at the thought of connection
(oh no) i don’t want your affection
just need control of the situation
i’d rather burn out than fade away
i know, i know, i know it’s unhealthy
but i like it that way
woah, it’s in my nature
i’m running away again
i’m running away

Kill Yr Boss
02:11

fuck it, left a trail of blood on my way out
no, you're not the boss of me
anymore
hated it here anyway
see ya later, alligator!
and in my head
i’ve killed you again and again and again and again and again
gut you open
and watch the… spill!
never felt so relieved
never felt so free

going 10 over the limit inside my head
surprised i haven't said anything stupid yet
that’s a conversation i’m not gonna humor ‘cause i know you're doing it for the attention
look me in the eyes
just say that you wanna go home
i can tell you're bored because you wont stop checking the time on your phone
i’ll regret everything i said
it was all petty words and wishful thinking
i'll shut up if that's enough
It was all petty words and wishful thinking
(Heccra)
just a trip to the city
a photographer meetup
i’m in the passenger seat of your car
and we’re pulling up late
once again you didn't plan shit
i nearly begged my dad to say i can't go
she’s gonna fuck it all up
‘cause i know
the car will
be towed
when we get back
i’m so used to people feeling this way about fuck-up me
how am i feeling this way about you?

Ego Peek Mid
02:43
|

|
hesitant to leave my lips
sometimes i got a fucking ego
other times i feel like shit
swear to god i mean it when i say that i'm not sick
yeah, but every wednesday i just wanna kill my therapist
oh my god would you look at your face?
even when you feel at home you look so fucking out of place
how embarrassing is that? when you stutter on your name
everything that i've become is everything that i hate
i know that
i don't wanna go back
everything is so lacking
i'm not okay
the dosage left me feeling hopeless
even though i know this
“take it everyday”
and you're right
must’ve slipped my mind
so drunk i thought i knew the words
when you got sick of the itch you ripped the tag off of your shirt
but what's even more annoying is how you act so pretentious
trivial as hell, just like a silly argument and…

Die Mad
01:26
|
|||
|
guess i’m just a fucking asshole
throw me in a blackhole
tell all my friends and my family that i'll be alright
became an alcoholic
invested, i was all in
fucking it all up and riding that rapid decline
i’ll burn that bridge when i get there
sorry, life is not fair
one day everything that you love will wither and die!
and if i’m just a fucking asshole
throw me in a blackhole
lock me away ‘til i wither away
‘cause i’ll bitch and i’ll moan and i’ll kick and i’ll scream and i’ll cry

so brace yourself for the impact
close your eyes and let it go black
left the light on, thought you'd come back
eat your heart out
are you full yet?
it’s everyday now
what i'd give to up and leave this place
you're an adult
so wipe that shit-eating grin off your face
when everyone said that they want you dead
is that when it finally clicked in your thick head?
and it's honestly so pathetic
how you don’t seem to fucking get it
(Sam Wegrzynski)
pathetic’s an understatement
i’ll try not to hold my breath
but it'll be hard not to smirk when your plan doesn't work
did you bet you'd get saved in the end?
well, when it all sinks in you'll be sorry this happened
you'll remember me when i said…
did it finally settle in?
i’m sure you hate every single word i wanna say, right?
you’re so pathetic
why won’t you get it?

overwhelmed with existential dread
i'm playing worst-case scenarios in my head
but it's okay, i feel okay
haven't grown a day since i turned 18
sorta gave up on all i wanted to achieve
but it's okay, i feel okay
i’m pushing my luck again
every time i claw my way out
i fall right back

Talk It Out
02:52
|
|||
|
burnin’ red when i get angry
tell myself i won't fall outta line
got too drunk and slammed the car door
i know it probably happened once or twice
just forget it
it’s overwhelming
yeah, i get it
don't need to tell me
promise that i’ll calm the fuck down
i’d really love to try and talk it out
sorry for how i’ve been acting
don't really know what that was all about
just forget it
it’s overwhelming
yeah, i get it
don't need to tell me
that i need to work on myself
but goddamn this doesn't help
i never put the effort you deserve
swear to you again that i've changed
but it always ends the same
i never fully try to make it work
sitting under a neon light
i didn't mean to go and start a fight
but i know myself and that's just how i get
busted lip so ill shut up now
burnt that bridge along anyhow
your worst is surely better than my best

The 2020's has some excellent screamo albums and this one sticks out with the versatile genre bending of the Florida screamo scene mixed with a very midwest delivery.... 10/10 will scare the shit out of you and make elitists shit thier pants if you torture them long enough
go to albumPrathloons' latest combines the melancholy of legacy slowcore acts with the poetic, emotional touch of contemporary acts like Big Thief.
go to albumElectrified melodic folk that draws as much from Pile and Horse Jumper of Love as Big Thief and Crazy Horse.
go to albumThis Brooklyn-based power pop band claims to be writing the "catchiest songs of all time." They make their case on their debut EP.

Why Would I Watch

Best album by far. All of the songs are bangers. Very relatable and catchy.
