i've got a steady job
that i already can't wait to quit
feels like i've been eighteen forever
and i'm sick of it
i just can't bear to pretend that
i'm where i want to be
i need this year to end
before it puts an end to me
i will make myself at home
wherever i go
anywhere but here is
a place that i'd love to know
i am restless, i am tired of loafing
i'm ready and waiting for more
i am fickle, i won't settle for keeping
my feet nailed to the floor
and i just can't bear to pretend
that i'm where i want to be
i need this year to end before it
puts an end to me
but i'm pathetic, i can't
keep a good thing to save my life
i'll never say what i mean
i'll never get anything right
right?
This album is a whole experience, every song is perfect, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the slow quiet parts hit just as much as the loud upbeat parts. I love this album so much. okmadrock
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
