Everything is telling me to leave as we sit here silently. If you were to yell and say you hate me, the choice would probably be easy. But you’re the sweetest, kindest, most perfect human being. That’s why I’ll always believe. In you, in us, in everything. So do you believe? I hope you believe in me.

It’s about time that you sort, that you sort things out. It’s simple, nothing too profound. So just get your shit together. It can’t be, can’t be all that hard. That bottle, it won’t get you far- oh no. Why do I have to do everything the hard way? The long way, my own way. I feel like everyone is getting tired of it, myself included. Then refusing to care became routine. Routine changes you. Your friends watch, they don’t know what to do. And now all of them are constantly, constantly nervous. They keep cool but they can see the end, coming towards me slowly. And as I take a step away from it all, I’m appalled From here I see what you all see- I’ve given up on trying. I’m sorry I put you through this. I’m sorry for being such a burden. I’m sorry I put you through this. I just want to be forgiven.

All pain, no gain. I gave this everything, I could give it away. I wish I could’ve been good at anything else. But then again my problems start with myself. So maybe anything I do will feel this complex. Or I’ve been cursed with bad luck, maybe everyone is. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, they don’t define who I am. I’m not innocent but I don’t deserve to feel like this. I promise I know that I’m blessed. But fear I’ll disappoint just weighs on my chest. I wish I could’ve been good at anything else. Is all the pain I’ve eased worth all the pain I’ve felt? Maybe anything I do will feel this complex. Or I’ve been cursed with bad luck, maybe everyone is. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, they don’t define who I am. I’m not innocent but I don’t deserve to feel like this. Everything doesn’t have to feel so complex. At the end of this shit maybe everyone wins. We’ll make our fair share of mistakes but we could give a fuck less. At the end of this we’ll be the only ones who enjoyed it.

I feel good about where I am, despite what some things I say may suggest. I just get a little cynical when things get difficult. My shitty outlook makes me more miserable. Its so hard to change. I feel good about where I am. I’m coming along slowly, heading the right direction. We all feel a little cynical when things get difficult. Everything is overwhelming, our lives are too eventful. Can’t be an excuse. Fix the problem at the root. Let’s all agree to do the things we said we’d always do.

Balcony 03:26
I can see your body hanging from the balcony or your car around an oak tree. My mind sees things it don’t want to see. This family can’t lose one more this year. More importantly we can’t lose you. I’ll do my best to hold you together but I can’t make you stay. I never thought I’d be the strong one but I’ll be here for you each and every day.

about

A little while ago, I got an idea for what has become our newest EP. Earlier this year we had been writing songs for a full length and planning our summer tour. Around April we realized it had been a year since we put anything out, and that our summer run wouldn’t be in support of new music. So my idea was to write and record an EP with little to no preparation. We had about 4-6 weeks to write the songs and coordinate things with the featured musicians, but most of the writing was done in the two weeks prior to the dates. I brought everyone (aside from Matt) into the studio without parts written or without knowing exactly what was going to happen. We never got together beforehand. There was so much room for failure but not once did I feel like it was a bad idea. I just believed in it wholeheartedly. I didn’t explain this more than briefly to anyone, I just kind of did it and made sense of the process along the way. I am so proud of what happened. I can’t thank my wonderful friends enough for lending me their time and patience throughout the recording process. I certainly could never thank them enough for being in my life. I would like to think that all of this is a metaphor for believing in yourself/your peers and being completely blown away by the outcome- but who knows, maybe I’m just a sap and our EP sucks! In all seriousness though, have some faith my friends. You just might surprise yourself.
