I was happy here as long as I can remember. Now I've disappeared. I fell asleep when all our friends were near. You sold me out so a check would clear. Said medication will fixed my troubled head. Said I could use some time to change my perspective. It all ends the same way it begins, the clay turned to mud between the holes in your hands. I've disappeared. It happens every day. Was it because I lost my faith? Or maybe it was how I was raised? They said it would all make sense someday but for now I'm just trying to hide the pain. Maybe it's cause I don't pray? My words hit the ceiling as I float away. I doubt you're listening anyway. Oh my god, it must be you who has changed. I still get my dinner at a gas station in Austin, Texas or it could've been Chicago, or it could've been Memphis. I'll have another cigarette to keep myself awake. I'll watch the smoke leave my lungs along with all of my mistakes. I know that this could be the life that I lead, stuck in traffic with the guys going east on I-90. I'm terrified of losing everything we've made. I'll never see the four of you again as we go our separate ways. So, when I die, will you scatter me along this path we've laid? Turn my body into stone as all the colors fade to Gray. I don't want to know if I have a home to come back to. I am not alone as long as I'm alone with you.

2nd listen: second time listening it sounded more on the post-shoegaze side. Still: this is quality music!
1st listen: Midwest emo is back. Or I guess it never left. Well structured songs, delivered with the right amount of energy, make up a record that does not disappoint! nofatclips
