lyrics

All of this baggage brings me to floor/ I keep forgetting what it is I was looking for/ the ceiling's dripping water on my proud but empty head/ the paint has faded into gray but the walls were blue back then/
but stay calm because/
This is just a test/ I'm still taking steps/ tell myself at least I'm not alone/ my heart's still beating in my chest/ I haven't lost that yet/ and I can learn to live with broken bones/
Doubt every decision because I've got no confidence/ girl of my dreams left me because she just wanted to be friends/ sinking underneath all of the stress I give myself/ swimming's not an option, at least as far as I can tell/

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.
