lyrics

Let It be,
to all ears free
that our swollen mouths
produce stale heat, and they're trying
to keep their hands warm but they can't because
they're laid down without matches a smoke to culture passion. Let this be my last chance to say to you, I want to thank all the friends that I still have left, because the only thing that's gotten me by were empty promises. All those years I lied, all those years I didn't realize. I was built for this, I was built to fall, I've dressed my name in ignorance I was lead to crawl on my belly like earthworms, oh were food for birds, I feel the worst has turned. Our stomachs churn, churn.

If I lost my mind would I still find you by my side; If anyone but you'd understand all those words I write, and if I withered like an old soul would you be there Hell or cold?

Because If I lost my wits I'd think I'd get a better sense to the fact that what we love is something that we shouldn't forget.

Long, let it sing.
ahh rot in your own
right through the band.

You'r my flint for the spark holding hands with you
"blind folded in the dark"
Would you trust me if I told you my name.
If your left for the dead, servants bite atcha leg's.
I'll be sure to drag you six feet underground.

Hubris for my company,
curious why they I keep.
"Alittle louder now."
Whenever we burn
our over minded loves to blame
the grace thats been stolen from the
secrets in our mattress to our terrible
beloved ones that keep from us.

We all hope you crash and burn.

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
