Warm February 01:58
lyrics
could someone please tell me why i should be alive today? been thinking about giving up on everything trudge through this day, push thoughts away breathe slow and stare are you really even there? and it feels like summer in atlanta but the whole thing’s a lie i tell myself i’ll move forward but i feel alone in this fight and it feels like summer in atlanta but the whole thing’s a lie i thought that i could hold something but my hands seem empty tonight who am i kidding? i know you don’t think of me i think about you incessantly back of my mind, i dig in and dream i am reaching out to grab anything and it feels like summer in atlanta but the whole thing’s a lie i make tally marks on the walls i am just biding my time and it feels like summer in atlanta but the whole thing’s a lie i thought that i could hold something but my hands seem empty tonight and it feels like summer in atlanta

Social Deficiencies 02:44
lyrics
cut the scene looks like the joke’s on me it burns the most when you know that you could’ve done better i had a good friend tell me “you’ve got social deficiencies, but you’ve got so much empathy, why can’t you just show what you feel?” i feel fucking uncomfortable in the most basic interactions and situations i could fall in love with your handwriting, your body odor, and your imperfections i guess it’s true that i obsess and that i’m a mess i thought about it at least 100 times today and then i anxiously cursed myself out i was picking at the holes in my jeans and i was spewing words that didn’t convey what i was trying to mean face got hot, what the hell why did i keep repeating myself? i woke up grinding my teeth in a cold sweat and i think “these cats and these records, fuck, that’s all i’ve got left” and i feel fucking uncomfortable in the most basic interactions and situations i could fall in love with your handwriting, your body odor, and your imperfections i guess it’s true that i obsess and that i’m a mess i thought about it at least 100 times today and then i anxiously cursed myself out why the fuck did i do that why the fuck did i say that why the fuck did i text that why the fuck did i walk there why the fuck are my hands like this why the fuck did i go out why the fuck did i stay home why the fuck why the fuck why the fuck

Something Between a Legend and an Inside Joke 01:25
lyrics
i wish that i could fall asleep tonight and wake up in your house in a brand new town wouldn't be scrambling around trying to figure things out i'm drinking coffee while you play songs on a lost island let's never work again we'll say fuck the man he was never our friend i tell myself that i fuck it all up but i make it all up in my head things were prettier things were dirtier and every second had a meaning i will tattoo carmen's name on my wrist and drive to new orleans listen to latterman forget how it's been never be lonely again i'm drinking beer while you drink wine i make weirdo art i'll do it from the heart say fuck the trends this can be how it all ends i tell myself that i fuck it all up but i make it all up in my head things were prettier things were dirtier and every second had a meaning in my head i made it up

Beasts of Burden 02:06
lyrics
i had stagnated just like all the rest i was set up for an easy death they gave me a number and i had accepted it it’s not hard to forget that we have so much fucking time left but i broke the hand of the man ran like this was my one last chance i saw a life where we could live like we had always told ourselves that we’d be i will be going down but not without a war did you assume that i had nothing to fight for? gonna be a force to be fucking reckoned with never sought to set ourselves up to be a myth but does fighting to keep your head above water make you a hero? at that moment when it comes down to giving it 100% or giving it zero heard the news today they’re takin’ our homes away where we’d built our beds and we laid our heads in the city heat tank’s rolling down 13th street we don’t have that much fucking time left we welded the door shut stood up built a wall like this was our last stand we saw a life where we could live like we had always told ourselves that we’d be we will be going down but not without a war did you assume that we had nothing to fight for? gonna be a force to be fucking reckoned with never sought to set ourselves up to be a myth but does fighting to keep your head above water make you a hero? at that moment when it comes down to giving it 100% or giving it zero

Get Wise and then Get Even 02:08
lyrics
there is something honest about eating cold soup in a dirty motel room while you're terrified checking the window like you're gonna die i had a dream about chicago last night it was something like shag carpet and vhs tapes of hardcore punk from the 80s i've been inventing you for ages let's sing something simple and dumb like we will never overcome and that's okay seems like we get by anyway let's sing something simple and dumb like we will never overcome and that's okay seems like we get by anyway i had a dream about new york today guess that's my way cold basements and cassette tapes of history worth knowing i'm on the precipice of growing let's sing something simple and dumb like we will never overcome and that's okay seems like we get by anyway and maybe the whole city will burn the fuck down tonight and i can finally accept defeat

No Chill 02:07
lyrics
when i was just a kid in kindergarten the teacher told my mom i was her least favorite kid and there are 3 reasons for this so let's just get right to it one i was the youngest one i didn't speak english that takes care of two my family's brazilian the third and final reason on her list was when it came to writing i used the left one these things always seem to happen but i'm not mad about it i'm fucking furious but i gotta maintain nothing in this life is easy or fair so why would this be? i'm fucking delirious i should really get some sleep i got that wild look in my eyes again my functions aren't functioning and i've been wasting precious time beating up myself for shit i don't do right and i've been fucking up my mind hating on myself for all my goddamn life and the closest that i ever came to love was a wreck i left it all for dead these things they always seem to happen but i'm not mad about it i'm fucking furious but i gotta maintain nothing in this life is easy or fair so why would this be? i'm fucking delirious i should really get some sleep i got that wild look in my eyes again my functions aren't functioning

Spring Street Station 02:15
lyrics
i thought about you at the spring street station staring at the cracked tiles on the wall thinking “it says a lot that you didn't make an effort or call” declaration in denial i’m uninvesting my time not that you haven’t reached out or tried to be kind but i’ve got a weird brain tends to pine for your apathetic scent i should charge rent for the space you take up in my mind i’m sorry for writing a love song they’re fucking boring is this even a love song? i don't know but it’s fucking boring i thought about you walking on the brooklyn bridge at night the city was stacked and lit like that pile of empty miller lite that probably lives by your bed and tucks you in at night i was listenin to lifetime the city smelled like weed i was doing mental gymnastics trying to make every song about you and me i thought about you at that show when my friend broke her phone yeah, you got a lotta broken shit too i’m sorry for writing a love song they’re fucking boring is this even a love song? i don't know but it’s fucking boring

Seeds 01:09
lyrics
we’ve gotta do more growing into listlessness with our old ideals while our culture reaps, our culture still kills there’s a housing war in our city today homelessness grows and ya still don’t have change? there was a time when i had daggers drawn and so did you hand ‘em over to the underprivileged youth i blame me i blame me keep planting seeds i gotta keep planting seeds white washed art in white walled galleries straight from the cult of universities that shit still don’t speak to me would you still value art if it was given for free? gotta arm ourselves for alternatives that are real if we don’t start now, we never will gotta hold myself accountable never tell myself it’s insurmountable i blame me i blame me keep planting seeds gotta keep planting seeds

Stay Weird! Stay Loud!! 01:32
lyrics
and the ballot casts itself decides who gets to the top it's not funny but it's a joke like feeling safe around a cop or destroying someone's home just to make more shops and on the corner of edgewood and boulevard the same very place mlk grew up the white owner of church the bar explained why we shouldn't riot for trayvon and it's hard to always make all the right moves but i felt power in your bike wheels spinning over broken glass i felt it in our old house's decaying past and we can build new spaces through creativity we can push against in solidarity your voice saved my life and it could save more take it back it's what we're moving towards reconnect to rebuild fuck police stay weird stay loud stay queer reconnect to rebuild fuck police stay punk stay fucked stay here

Last Look at Atlanta 02:15
lyrics
i left a part of my heart in a beat up and unstable house although a lot of the time i wanted to strike a match and burn that thing down there is a history in all our houses i’ve said it before you’ve carved your name into the broken frame of this closing door we did too many drugs and i saw our life from every perspective it was the only time that i ever felt that we could calm down and talk some shit out i love you in some ways but this just can not work out deconstruction is not the same thing as destruction we’ve gotta move, we’ve gotta go, we’ve gotta change, and we’ve gotta grow and deconstruction is not the same thing as destruction we’d never forsake the memories we’ve made like when you held my hand outside that show at that house where your band played a 4 song set i thought you were all i’d ever need but our lives never turn out like we expect them to be and we fucked up but there is more good in these years than bad we’ve always had a hard time focusing on that deconstruction is not the same thing as destruction we’ve gotta move, we’ve gotta go, we’ve gotta change, and we’ve gotta grow and deconstruction is not the same thing as destruction the end of the track always fades to black i am leaving the south and i am never coming back i took one last look at atlanta and i clenched my fist i made a list of all the people who’ve inspired me thank you for not going down easily
