Prom Night 05:12
Prom night's over and it's back to the nightmare Pictures on a phone documenting despair Did I wear the right dress and how was my hair? It's no wonder I lost out, but who cares? Well I care... I thought it'd be fun, I thought it'd be cool To run around dressed up in those mile high shoes But all I got were blisters on my bare feet And the promise of mediocrity When I get back to class Who will ask if I was there? Getting back home early To Mom and Dad sneaking upstairs. No photos outside Just a beat up old car. That 95 Jetta Sure never got me too far. I know that one day this will be a faint memory But I sure fantasized about kissing the prom king The captain of the football team But why would he wanna be with little ol' me? But I swear I've got more to give I can hold my own I've got dreams not kids Almost 18 and not sure of myself But fuck them all cause I'll be living well.

Type it out Delete it all Morning breath from alcohol. The drool from your drunken slumber Posts regretted Personal tumblr. It's 2006 you're 15 all over again All your friends moved on And you're stuck in some empty apartment wondering... Writing words you'll never say Whiskey means courage for days Puke it out in the bathroom sink Before the feeling starts to flee. You told yourself this was the last time And tomorrow you'll be feeling fine But heartbreak gets harder with age Why the fuck can't things be the same? I'll get married I'll get some job If I could only find someone To hold my hand to say I do All the things I'd give up for you Waiting for me patiently The train station down on park street Say goodbye my sweet my dear I'm leaving you back home I'm leaving you here.

Lone Fir 02:20
Burn my flesh Take my eyes I don't deserve This thing called life. I don't want to wake up Dreaming of the past. Throw myself in the river To cleanse the life I've lived. Crucify The holy christ List my sins Cause I'll laugh when I die. I don't wanna wake up Call when you get home. Drain the blood from my body So I can be your ghost. I don't want to find you Mascara running down your face. I don't want you to see me So I'll just fade away... I fade away.

The scar on my chin reminders of who I've been Drunken falling down stairs. You sat on the bed Kept your feelings close to the chest Never showed us the rest You thought it could hurt. Photos I kept Mocked me as I wept Hidden under the matress Where we both slept. Breaking my bones Like hushed breath Over empty dial tones We were just scared Too scared to be alone. I tried to change My world into one of good memories But I'm stuck in the past In places we've been.

Slow Dancing 04:34
Strings of bad luck Twists of fate Always left me nothing But a bad taste. Stale beer And Cigarettes Another long night Just another I'm trying to forget. I'm still waking up All alone An empty bed Stars on the ceiling in a childhood home. At least its quiet At least you're awake Long enough to pick up the phone To make that call you didn't think you'd make. Dumb and drunk we slow danced Thirty six questions proving romance My body disappeared into yours On the carpet in that old apartment. The houses that we slept in were empty Drives to work cigarettes and coffee Became the usual things I'd do All the things I'd do for you. Hold my breath, you hold your liquor But it couldn't have ended any fucking quicker I forgot how to sleep alone in the room I rented to Get away from the thought of you. I'm pulling over in some dumbass place In a dirty bathroom I tried so hard to face The fact I'm not leaving it all behind. A song plays we used to sing Avoiding awkward comforting conversations I have with myself on the long drive home.

about

This album was really important to me for some reason I still can't pinpoint. These are songs I had wanted to record and couldn't have done it without my best buds Trey Hanawalt and Joey Moody helping me out along the way.
