Walk 02:35
take a walk with me now and i will try to figure you out she's been gone for a week you don't talk, you barely speak to me your old shoes are falling apart should get some new ones for a start but i don't know what they mean your face has lines, but i can't read them do you think i'm one for leaving? ask a question, expect an answer expect a text message to cancel anything she's been dead for a week she don't talk and you don't speak

Peppermint 03:03

Road Work 00:59
this road work makes it take longer to get to your house which leaves me time to sit and wonder what this is all about your text message so sudden said "come over now" so i got out of bed and i took a quick shower and now i'm sitting in traffic, growing impatient while these men on the side of the road simply don't give a shit but this is my existence now
6.
Bending 04:06
staying out real late is no fun when you're away and i've yet to figure out what to say so you feel the same way, i thought i was not okay but if we both feel the pain, that's a shame every time i get lost at night, i sigh shoulda went home that night all this bending around is bringing me down i'm just feeling low and i've got no place to go so i'll see if you are home right away times they often change, but the people stay the same i'll be bending here to night if that's ok every time i get lost at night, i sigh shoulda went home that night all this bending around is bringing me down every time i get lost at night, i sigh i get a little lost sometimes all this bending around is bringing me down
7.
now i realize i don't need you like i thought but goodbyes don't get easier so i think i won't say goodbye at all and i know and i'm sorry that i wasted out time yeah i know and i'm sorry too so now you will realize i am not what you though but i hope your goodbye will be quicker than this already too long hello

Old Man 02:07
coming up behind, can't see your face and this one time i forgot the place where we waited for the old man to come to the top now he's waiting for the girl, he'll just have to find out she says she wants to go but she doesn't know where so i tell her we can go where she doesn't need to care now listen to the way that she talks to you whenever i'm around, i never get the truth this old man doesn't like the place but he doesn't move away 'cause it's all the same i got a best friend, his name is ace he doesn't like to talk but he likes to place games i'm looking all around for a place to sit but i can't find one, i'll have to stand now i told him that i want to sit with you but i never got around to seeing it through you waste your whole life if you never knew good people just want to get to know you this old man can't find his home but it doesn't matter now 'cause he's all alone
9.
how long can you stay off the grid i fear the night that brings you life for me, we'll see what you can do oh that's just me, so long, you'll see hello, what's new, I'm home, it's true and if you would you should come thru alas the road is filled with boags but if you turn you'll find your fun
10.
Destroy 02:09
soon you will realize what you love will destroy you
11.
catch me sleeping often dreaming if you find me tell me kindly find me waking pills i'm taking make me tired brain on fire stuck sedating suffocating if you take me please don't wake me

about

This album was created over the first half of 2015 in various bedrooms and basements across Bethlehem, PA. Coming away from Cheerleaders which was merely a thrown-together collection of songs, we wanted to create something much more cohesive with our second album.

The result is a much more collaborative and cohesive piece stitched together with interludes of guitar loops and field recordings from various get-togethers and hangouts. We wanted to present something much more personal, sort of a portrait of our lives at a transitionary point.

Every song here tells some sort of story from our lives. The story is told sometimes directly through the lyrics, and other times simply through context. Some of these songs don't even have lyrics.

We believe that this album is best heard all the way through in one sitting, which shouldn't be difficult given it's 35 minute run time, which also encourages repeated listens. Find things in the mix that you hadn't caught the first time and piece together the full story of the album yourself.

We are very proud of the work we have done here and we hope you find something in it that means something to you.
