lyrics

Find the most fulfilling part of your comfort zone/ cast an anchor and tie it tight around your ankle bones/ don't be afraid of an empty house and a loveless marriage/ the only thing to fear is dying alone/
Buy the car, the suit, the tie, get your affairs in order/ play it safe, play it straight, don't stray to the border/ dust the trophies on the shelf/ here's to you and your good health/ know your limits and pretend to know yourself/
Everything that I've been taught is everything I didn't want to know/ impress on me your values/ pour me into your mold/ roads diverge in a yellow wood but it doesn't matter which you take/ both have wooden safety rails/ and yards and yards of caution tape/
Don't be anything that we don't say that you can be/ don't be anything
Don't be anything other than a success/ don't be anything
Settle down, settle in/ get comfortable in your dead skin/ call your folks on holidays/ tell them everything's okay/ keep it clean, don't make a scene/ glue your eyes to the TV/ Tell yourself it's okay to change your dreams/
Do you remember when your eyes were bright?/ do you remember when the door was open wide?/ the years ahead of us are still an open book/ the ending's in the back but I refuse to look

about

Played Out Des Moines, Iowa

Lend us a minute of your time and enjoy a helping of emo pop-punk with a distinctly midwestern flavor. We're just four friends who play songs in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing else we'd rather be doing.
