I won't No I won't I won't No I won't Try to let you go Try to let you go And I don't know why I won't let you go 'Cause I believe in placebo, and maybe if I tried hard enough, I could think my way right out of my obsession with you 'Cause I've been suffering way too long, but the power of the mind is strong and maybe if I invested enough mental energy in it I could think my way out of depression and halt this mental recession, have a positive shift of perception but my brain still wants you here I have a family history of clinical depression and I'll tell you what I'll tell you what I've perfected the recipe for inducing depressive tendencies, it's a perfect blend of just two simple ingredients: insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love I have a family history of clinical depression and I'll tell you what I'll tell you what I've perfected the recipe for inducing depressive tendencies, it's a perfect blend of insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love insomnia and unrequited love unrequited love

I got a call from you a little unexpected gift my heart jumped with joy I'll see you in a while and it made me smile, it made me smile I said "meet me at the park," Your car was parked in the dark We stood and told stories As I broke up the weed We were laughing at everything And you pulled out your false teeth And then we smoked the bowl Then took shelter from the cold Now the girl of my dreams Is sitting right in front of me She's up in the driver's seat While I'm in the back smoking weed But I couldn't feel any more alone, And I'm ignoring the existence of my phone 'Cause when I'm in your presence I don't want any distractions 'Cause you deserve every inch Of my attention And I don't wanna disrespect Your goddess-esque elegance

Let Down 10:56
No matter how hard I try, and despite the fact that I have been here an interminable amount of time, I can't seem to make myself comfortable in the corner of the room But what you gonna do when that's when you were chained? And I feel all let down It's so unfair to me, because if anything I was the first in line to see the movie premiere at midnight And I feel all let down 'Cause I stayed in town, yeah I stuck around the night the film was announced 'Cause I stayed in town, yeah I stuck around the night the film was announced Every time someone cuts in line I'm bothered but I won't try to make a scene by exposing them Even though it directly Affects me So I'll just silently condemn and you won't hear me say a word about it About it About it I always seem to find myself in the right place, but at the wrong time In this particular situation Maybe if I'd just endure some confrontation I'd cut down on the sleepless nights And finally settle this internal fight If I'd just secure my place in line And I could finally be happy inside And I could finally be happy inside And I could finally be happy inside And I could finally be happy inside ladadaoooeeeeooooladaaadddaaaoooeeeeoooo HAPPY HAPPYY HAPPYYY HAPPYYYY And I don't know what to do with myself anymore, Dissolving at the core And my brain's being molded like clay by sleep deprivation and self-deprecation (SELF-MEDICATION) now And I could name every flaw and everything that I hate about myself About myself But I won't change It seems that I can manipulate myself into finding an excuse for everything And I feel all let down When you wanna tear out your heart now 'Cause you feel all let down When you wanna tear out your heart now 'Cause you feel all left out When you're feeling like death and you've lost all of your breath and you're living in regret When it haunts you every day and you try to get away but you just can't escape And I feel all let down

Cold Feet 06:10
Well I'm a lion now And I've just figured out What I've got to do To get the hell out of the zoo But I'm the lion in The Wizard of Oz And I'm devoid of courage, And I'm off to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz In hopes that he will grant me What I need to take the steps in conquering all that is conquering me As I prepare for this quest I'm hoping for the best That the wizard will happily grant my request My request My request My request And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, and my cold feet, and my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet And my cold feet, they won't stop me, not my cold feet

At first I was thinking of you 'cause I couldn't get to sleep at night Now I can't get to sleep at night 'cause I'm thinking of you You're the only thing this world has to offer that's more beautiful than death You're more beautiful than death And what a tease, I've stumbled upon the key to happiness And it's being waved all in front of my face, and all over his lips And it's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late It's too late The key is just out of my reach I said the key is just out of my reach And I've got to let all these feelings out, I tried... And we had plans to hang out, but you bailed and you lied... And I don't wanna call you out 'cause I've idealized Every single aspect of you in my mind 'Cause it's about goddamn time that I showed you my My over-obsessive fucked up mind My over-obsessive fucked up mind My over-obsessive fucked up mind And I've got to let all these feelings out, I tried... And we had plans to hang out, but you bailed and you lied... And I don't wanna call you out 'cause I've idealized Every single aspect of you in my mind 'Cause it's about goddamn time that I showed you my My over-obsessive fucked up mind My over-obsessive fucked up mind My over-obsessive fucked up mind

Well I just can't keep kicking the can Six inches in front of me on the cracked rough gravel street Then re-approaching it with a false sense of dignity Only to, yet again, just kick it right in front of my path It's finally my time to shine If I fuck this up this time, well I'll die on the inside (honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm...) I can't keep holding this in me And simultaneously Maintain my sanity, So please meet up with me for me So I'm coming out with all of this Even if it Puts our friendship at risk, I guess I'll jeopardize it

Forest 02:54
My mind is a forest and you're running through Every day I am pondering you The idea of you and me makes me happy But you've parked your car right out in the street And you're concealing yourself in my trees 'Cause you're just stopping by to smoke some weed Then leave And I'm holding these unfulfilled fantasies Of just driving around and exchanging our points of view and developing each others' thoughts And I'm plagued by the insides of my own head This quixotic thinking's taunting me once again And the well runs so deep that I can't see the end of it My mind is a forest and you're running through My mind is a forest and you're running through My mind is a forest and you're running through My heart is a forest and you're pumping through My heart is a forest and you're pumping through My heart is a forest and you're pumping through My veins are all forests and you're flowing through My veins are all forests and you're flowing through My veins are all forests, you're the blood flowing through

As I'm walking through the trees and explaining to Nathan what you mean to me, I kind of want to die In spite of my incompetence, I'm losing all the confidence that I never really had in the first place Thinking 'bout a year ago when I could have gained it all, but threw it all away Now I'm planning in my head how to jump a spot ahead, and what I'm gonna say I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help but care And I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help but care And as I'm lying in the night and losing my mind, I realize that I've gotta try I'm staring at my popcorn ceiling, experiencing all these intense feelings At the very least, I've got to try I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help but care And I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help but care When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die when all in all you wanna die when allll innn alll youuuu waaaannnaaa diieeeeeee I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help I can't help, no I can't help but hate myself And I can't help no I can't help, I can't help I can't fucking help I can't help no I can't help but hate myself And I prepared myself for rejection, not to amplify the transcendence that could possibly occur if you felt the same way, But 'cause I knew that I wasn't good enough for you to go out of your way of your life for me, but I guess we'll see Then I let it out after so, so long, You said "that's so sweet, and I like your songs," But I pretty much knew What was coming next You said, "it's getting late, and I should probably go, I gotta charge my phone and my mom's expecting me back home." Me back home. I got back in the car and said, "Well that was brief. When will the weight of the world be lifted off of me?" Of me? And Paul said, "man, it's all okay, you really did the right thing at the end of the day." At the end of the day But what hurt so much is that you were so cool, you didn't freak out or treat me like a fool And that's why I love you That's why I love you That's why I'm so in love with you, Well that's why I love you Well we're only set apart by our intelligence, We just had to make sense of all this shit around us Around us So why'd we have to go and screw it all up? 'Cause we were only made to eat and fuck But got all caught up in emotions and stuff 'Cause honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside 'Cause honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside

about

I started recording this album very soon after we released "Peking Plaza." This is a concept album, it's a pretty bitchy concept, but it's basically the story of a mental downfall that resulted from "insomnia and unrequited love," to be lame as fuck and quote my own lyrics, and a very small portion of a story with a girl. This story is now much longer and more complicated and there's more to tell for future songs I suppose!

Upon the release of this album we are breaking up as a band.
Thanks to everyone who has shown us love and support.

Very special thanks to:
Janie Waddle
Mary Catherine Miller (who also accidentally named this record)
Papa Harris for helping mix and master, this record would sound a lot different and a lot shittier without his help. I learned a lot during the process of mixing and mastering this record and for that I am eternally grateful.
