I'm gunna go out when the snow melts and rake up all these leaves, so this wind won't scatter them with my habits/insecurities I will let dangle from my lips. Burn holes in the qualities, the best of me that will flicker and fade away.
What's left in the cracks of my skin when my voice is caught and carried by the wind?
Follow the direction of my breath because this winter gives me no fucking rest. It will be better at my back than when it fills my hollow chest, never to leave any words in tact.
Take this down, bury it there. Move the earth where no wind will follow. It's in the cracks of my skin and the words from my mouth will be silent, but I will stand tall.
Time will tell if death takes us away to paradise or the end of our lives.

I was lucky enough to play with this band for their first show. Needless to say, every time I've seen them since, I've been blown away. Hoping to see them again sometime very soon! Jake Friedrich

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
