A stone's throw from desperation but it feels like we're light years from home and that handful of kids and that thing that we did reminds us we're never alone. You can fill up your tank in Richmond with your best friends right up the hall. But you can't sleep on the beach in Virginia, and in York they don't sleep at all. It's a million mile drive to Ghost Town, Ohio and Chicago is half a life away, and no one ever sees Louisville coming but if we get there tonight we can play. Garages and basements that's where our place is in garages and basements that's where our place is we bring the joy and the thunder and the best part of the summer and no one can take that away we bring the joy and the thunder and the feeling we're all under and just for tonight we can stay (repeat)

We tried it every other way you had the best of intentions It never ended up that way that you wanted it or planned it you tried to plant that seed but my heart was barren to your words, but so rich with other things you know I love you but if I find you in my heart I'll rip you out, I'll rip you out. Laying a foundation is more than simply dropping stones into swamps of failure and praying that the center holds I've got my own idea of success I won't be needing yours There's no sense of validation in being ignored and I know I'm grown and I should be over this but I'm scared so scared that you're inside of me like my blood and my breath but I'm proud of who and what I have become we'll find a way to disagree without ever shedding blood but I wish you'd really shut your mouth you've done more harm than good.

(one, two fuck you) I've got this nemesis, he's out to get me a standing threat to life and love and family a cunning saboteur with a key to my front door there's no escape and I can't take this anymore I know his face I know his name I know his handiwork I see it everywhere lies and empty promises are his song and his signature all that I seek to build he lives to set ablaze I think I've had enough and this shit ends today I know his name I know his face (one, two fuck you) I know my own worst enemy is the face I see in the mirror I fight this fight with him everyday and the mission is getting clearer two boys enter and a grown man leaves growing up is hard is as it's supposed to be two boys enter and a grown man leaves your skin can thicken, but you gotta take it personally I know his face I know his name I know where he sleeps He lives inside of me.

I will I will I will smash my head against that wall if you let me go I will destroy everything we've built til now. Can't you see I need your hands around my wrists to hold me down I know that I can be a monster sometimes but I know you can see through me and keep me safe because I hate myself so much I could die.
5.
I'm sick of writing songs about the same mistakes that we all make and the chances we refuse to take and the hearts that we just build to break not this time next time or anytime And even if it hurts it's nothing personal it's just the way life is and it's all right there's nothing left to say you said it anyway excuse the irony as I push you away from me. Because I'm tired of being alone and I'm tired of being right about you Because I'm tired of being alone and I'm tired of being right about you You don't have to make it up to me In the end I am still your friend and you don't have to prove you're so full of shit.
6.
Slow down,. you're moving too fast I wanna make each single precious moment last this is everything, this is like my dream so hold on, hold fast don't forget me These are the days we don't appreciate Hold on, don't let a single moment fade. These are the days we don't appreciate Hold tight or all you'll have are memories These are the days we don't appreciate Raise your heart, raise your voice, refuse to fade. These are the days we don't appreciate (x however many) Refuse to fade.

Recorded @ High Five Studios in Asheville, NC by Jayro Rockola on one of the snowiest days of 2009. Guest vocals by guys from Disnomia and a ton of our friends including our former bassist Jordan Luff. We wrote the bulk of these songs after returning from our first tour. This record is a celebration of the nights we spent in crowded basements, smelly garages and sleeping on floors throughout the northeast and midwestern United States. Huge thanks to our friends at Self Aware and Dead End for making this thing happen.
