consciousness of the problem is
all but half of the battle
it's the will to change
that one must formulate
i pose with a stretch
riverside park bench
underdressed for the occasion
suffocating to the wind
metaphorically comparing
my purpose to the peace bridge
like all i've ever been is a connection
the dread of the road trip
towering anxiety
suspended above a body
of the same stuff that flows
through me
that has been absent as of late
and now i'm well aware of why
i've been stagnant, paralyzed
i feel nothing
for anything else
other than your eyes
how they reflect mine
how they constantly
move me closer
to the person
i promise i'm trying to be
how lately it's been evident
i'm letting everyone i know
down
and lately i've been taking hints
from people that
they'd rather me not be around
but i promise i'm different now
believe it or not
but alone here without you now
i'm still lost
i'm still gone
i'm still.
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. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
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
