Bart So, it is possible to have a ska album that exudes "chill" yet occasionally explodes into a fury to keep you on your toes. :) Favorite track: The Wallflower Optimist.

Jacob Zelman beautiful music that makes me believe in a beautiful world. so fucking inspiring, and technically good as hell to boot. love the chiptune, the time signature changes, the organ, the PERCUSSION and the face-melting guitar. this inspires me to try to make music this good. ily nina. Favorite track: Life's Unseen.

echub22 This is a unique sounding bedroom ska record, filled with danceable beats, wonderful displays of instrumentality, and lyrics that combine vulnerability with powerful imagery. I love every track to death, bravo! Favorite track: The Covers.

I am running out of air Trying to keep my pace with you Holding words you left for me I am losing what I thought Would be the best I can be Living up to fantasy I don’t want to stay alone I don’t want another debt that needs repaying I don’t want to live a lie I want some time to be proud I want happiness but I am running out of time Trying to keep my faith that you Believe in what you said to me What I want I have lost Just a simple life to lead Living up to fantasies Is this all my fantasy Is this all?

How many times You’ve seen it play out that They don’t care about you They only want what’s best (for them) If you had A nickel for every Are you sure and are you sane and Every fucking mark On your skin You’d have been Rolling in the dough, surrounded held and Crushed under the weight This isn’t fair It never was for you There has never been a thing Presented but the door So wake up cold Every piece is freezing Comfort has been stolen and is Rubbed right in your face Work your hardest You work your hands right off and This world will push you down and leave you Right back to square one But there ain’t No home to go to Not with homophobes and racists and the Transphobes swinging fists Some call mom Some call dad Some call anyone or anybody A thousand miles away But sometimes all you have is A voice to use and feet to move So I’m hoping they still work And sometimes you lose yourself Sometimes you run away But I hope you’ll get a break from all this shit Please be safe I know it’s hard And I can’t help you out or save you I’m just a wallflower somewhere Try and fight it Know that I believe You’ll be happier someday And I hope it is coming soon I believe in you

The Covers 02:30
I was young and I hear a noise creak So I strain my ears until I can hear Is it a monster or a demon Or someone who lives with me now Fighting late until it’s no longer nighttime And the monsters are here and they’re under my bed Everything is fine, just fine So the demons are here and they’re under my bed Everything is fine, just fine I just scream and I scream and I scream and I scream Everything is fine, just fine I’ll sleep underneath my covers and just crawl under the covers I’m just crying under cover all the night I grew some then the house comes alive And it eats anyone left inside Now you can’t run no you can’t hide No not a single place is fine now As the house fills up with smoke and alcohol And the monsters are here and they’re inside the house Everything is fine, just fine And the demons are here now they’re inside the house Everything is fine, just fine So I just cry and I cry and I cry and I cry Everything is fine, just fine I’ll sleep underneath my covers and just get under my covers I’m just punching pillows late into the night Someday I’ll be sleeping alone and Scared something’s there Scared of the silence I still get anxious and afraid and I’ll still hide until the pain stops From the people who mean more than the world Such a stupid girl So no monsters are here and they won’t be again And nothing is fine just fine So no demons are here no they never appeared And nothing is fine just fine I just freeze and I freeze and I freeze and I freeze And nothing is fine just fine So I’ll just get under my covers I’ll get deep under my covers I’ll lay underneath the covers Pass out right under the covers Cry and pray under the covers Hear the screaming under covers I’ll just dive under the covers, so goodnight

Majesty 03:52
She was my French Queen Falling apart at the seams Her clothes on the floor of the parlor She was my French Queen I’m sinking to desperate things While I count the ones that will follow And the 16th he will know When he’s finally lost his reign Faulty pleasantries have dulled Moments falling down like rain Deeds of many people shown Lost lives scatter leaving pain A scene is pressed upon your soul But nothing beautiful remains I’m leaving her behind He was my French king I’m mumbling through our scenes As I broke down, knees in the fallow He was my French king An answer to everything But everything sounds just as hollow I no longer stand by him But I wish that he was here Simple prayers such as this Can’t erase me of my fear Deeds of many people show Lost lives scatter leaving pain A scene is pressed upon your soul But nothing beautiful remains I’m leaving him They were my majesty And now they’ve been guillotined Nothing matters When you’re gone You were my French queen And you my French king They were my majesty Why did I leave

Coffee tastes like soap again As we drive along the street I stare at the people pass Through lives I won’t ever meet I wait as the traffic stops Take turns we’re left turning to Highways never leading home Exit signs Unable to refuel my heart So here’s a first in a while Lies starting to be revealed We tryst in a hotel room And part again, lips sealed Get on to the road again My companion shows himself Not much help along the way When he’s gone Left me to haunt my memories I can’t find my heart beat slowly dies All I do is drink and repeat it The city melts and will fall We fail and we fail again Heartache and to no surprise A bullet shoots to an end Coffee and a freezer cig Snuck feelings and old regrets And a chance I’d make it through Someday soon Missing him won’t hurt me so much I fall down and lose myself I don’t know how to face them Cry and lie there shaking cold Cause I know I know you will never come home I know you will never come home I know I will never come home I know I will never come home I know we will never be home I know we will never be home

Gone from the only one To a city made out of ashes Purina plant smell in the air and I just don't even care I don't want to Spend my life here I wonder sometimes if it's too late Has hell frozen over am I just stuck here Nobody gets me here I'm suffocating myself while he’s gone I’m at home wasting the air away With The Pillows and The Art of Drowning I don't want to Spend my life here I wonder sometimes if it's too late Has hell frozen over am I just stuck here Hide away In the basement Never go out unless I have to Playing games Stolen glasses Fantasy is only somewhat finite I don't want to spend my life here I wonder sometimes if it's too late Hell frozen over and I’m just stuck here Don’t want to spend the rest of my life here Hell frozen over and yeah I’m stuck here Don’t want to end my life here

Step into the triangles eye Gaze waiting to respond You are no longer as good Just small fry in big ponds Get through the days with regrets Like so many have before You have a goal to be prodigious Yes that’s what you’re here for What are you Trying to prove Especially with your failing mind What are you Trying to lose Is your past something to hide Get past the training and start the job Cause who can afford to wait Everyone there telling kids Grow up don't share this fate You quit once the stress piles up And you’re finding you won’t mend Going through the motions now Why won’t this bitterness end Go head out to other shores Go skip to another pond Cause what else are you good or for But choosing another bond Can't sleep before you try to fight Flung head first to the wall Try to rest a little and you’re Comatose through it all Wake to knocking at the door His sins are no surprise Hide yourself as best you can From violating eyes What are you Trying to prove Especially with your failing mind What are you Trying to lose Is your past something to hide What are you Trying to prove Especially with no one in sight What are you Trying to lose Take your Heart bury It deep and Let it just Die

You're finding out that life's got little left to see Along the road you've mapped out all your fantasies, Then threw it to The empty, haunting passenger's seat It's taken all you have to keep it from the floor Your dreams have froze with snow you let in through the door And soak into Your socks and toes bent praying for some heat What's the point? Can't change your tattered jeans What's the point? Forgot the gas & antifreeze What's the point? Maybe you're really just a teen Hopeless thankless life's unseen You leave your car along the shoulder of the road It's just another tow left outside in the cold So you walk on Like a mutt you're looking for a home Your phone is shaking hard just like when you were ten Your friends are walking out, your family’s gone ahead But that’s all gone It's her name you see before you throw What's the point? Can't change these memories What's the point? You feel like just another sleaze What's the point? If you've only ever been Hopeless thankless life's unseen If you touch me just like you used to do I would not tell you I hate you (yeah you) But I'll be found face first in the snow Angel you will never know

Is This All 01:25

Woke up crying today Daylight peers through a basement window Stomach upset again My shoulders wrecked I'm scared I'm tired But I know this is my defense A bad operation built into my skull yeah But I’ll throw it away And nothings gonna stop me come hell or high water Cause I’ve got my own name now And they can't take it from me Yeah I've got these words for you I'm finally getting happy This world is hell this world is tumbling down But we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us Another painful phone call Another you don't sound like you don't look like Another day I just float, But it’s okay I’m striking back so No more days spent alone And even if we are we’re doing okay now Every day spent it’s best And I know if we fail we can still be good Cause I’ve got my own place now And they can't take it from me Yeah I've got these words for you I'm finally moving forward This world is hell this world is tumbling down But we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us Wait and I’ll make All this time Mean something This girl will show you that you matter At least to this girl Someday I might fall apart Someday we’ll wake on a beach somewhere and Hands caressing my neck These hands that bind us and hurt us stop us Cause I’ve got my own voice now And they can't take it from me Yeah I've got these words for you I'm finally looking pretty This world is hell this world is tumbling down But we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us But we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us Yeah we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us This world is hell this world is tumbling down But we've got each other now And nothing’s gonna stop us
