Tall Paul An incredible monument to loss that speaks with a level of tact and maturity that so many similar bands lack Favorite track: I Can't Take Myself Anywhere.

Cameron It's raw and just flipping awesome! St Rain stood out first for me, but Pretty Death is such a damn good song, I'd hate for it to go unnoticed. Favorite track: Pretty Death.

The Moment 03:10
i can’t make this better. it’s already ruined me. remembered by the slips in my conscious, a broken feat. i fell down the stairwell, carried myself to the street. forgotten names at three in the morning but it stays with me i believe there’s something left in me to see. i just keep getting lost in the moment. a part of me gets swept away. i can see the better parts of you in me. i just keep wavering in the moment. it’s catching up too quick. am i giving it all that it’s worth? am i giving it all that i’ve got left? i believe there’s something left in me to see. i need to get a grasp on this moment. it’s far from over. i wander in speech, just wait till it’s done, i’m chasing a feeling that i don’t need. i’m probably best to let it breathe. i’ll let it catch up eventually.

Pretty Death 03:39
i think i put a wrinkle, in your pretty face please don’t pull at my clothes, you know what that’s doing to me I am not your one and only, I am just your stepping stone I’m well aware you didn’t know, you put your life on hold we lost it all and what a pretty death it was. we lost it all i’ll do my best the best i can to let it go. I can’t say just what i mean, because it isn’t just one thing how many endings can you take, your smile has slowly faded away i didn’t mean to let you feel so safe, you didn’t want to let me get away we lost it all and what a pretty death it was. we lost it all i’ll do my best the best i can to let it go. come and find me, you know what you started as we slow dance right beneath the spotlights. i could never live up to what you wanted. if we stay here, you’ll know what you started. if you hear me, you know what you started as we slow dance right where it all started. i wanna make this right. what a pretty death it was. i wanna make this right. we lost it all and what a pretty death it was.

Doesn’t it hurt? The weight of your worth. You could probably tell i’m lying To get a leg up in this conversation. You’re not even here A hollowed out grin A lack of my charm. There’s not enough wine To get us to change our minds. How about you walk away now? I need this so I can let go now. Oh i can’t keep tripping over you No i can’t keep feeling down Oh i can’t keep falling over you No i can’t keep you around. These tired streets Running in the town where we were numb. Those times hit you hard enough To lose some wind, you know I’m not even here A waste of your breath An innocent start. This pit in my gut Isn’t playing around this time. How about you walk away now? I need this so i can let go now. Oh i can’t keep tripping over you No i can’t keep feeling down Oh i can’t keep falling over you No i can’t keep you around… Keep you around. And i can’t keep tripping over you. No i can’t keep falling over you. How about you walk away now? I need this so I can let go now.

I’ve been drinking way too much And clearly acting irrational. I should’ve noticed how you’re glancing over your shoulder. Losing its taste, but i can still feel it Sink in my blood, all over my body... A tower of regret. --- Pour it down and drown again. Where did i lose you? Did i make a scene? She said “sit down and take a wild guess” Cause we’re dressed up in sin. And i’ll surely be held responsible for all that i digress… With loose lips. -- It’d be naive to try and calm me down When the stars are coming for my head Hostile remarks lit up behind a smile It gets dark the deeper we dig It’d be naive to try and keep my quiet When the stars are coming for my head Hostile remarks lit up behind a smile It gets dark the deeper we dig Two more scenes before i exit One more drink before i hit the floor A few more words before i end this One more scene before i end this -- We’re falling backwards Falling backwards on our trust Just forget about it Just regret about it all Falling backwards Falling backwards on our trust Just regret about it.

Wallpaper 04:13
Colorful I’m so happy i came You’re so colorful. Like the decorations you made. I found your phone on the floor in the kitchen, i was wondering if you would want it back. It’s too dark in your room i can’t read what you’re doing and i’m losing it. You may think it’s irrational Don’t always do what you always do You may say it’s impassable Let me in to the way that you move And we spend all our money On the fear of feeling nothing You’re gonna leave It’s a waste of time And we’ll never get it right Tell me the place where your mind drifts to When your head and your heart can’t align I feel in tune with these simple bare walls, i’m alone and i’m nervous too I heard you talking real loud in the other room, did you want me stand with you You may think it’s irrational Don’t always do what you always do You may think it’s impassable Let me into the way that you move And we spend all our money On the fear of feeling nothing /for the feel of being lucky We look really good in blurry pictures It’s the weight It’s the weight of the frame Sometimes it’s better to ignore it Sometimes it’s better to ignore it We look really good in blurry pictures We should wait till we’re torn out of frame And we spend all our money On the fear of feeling nothing

St. Rain 04:01
Got caught up With expectations too high Do they notice my pale, shaky hands? As i scan through the room. Oh, i got lost Based the night on whim What if you came to say you missed me, no that’s not you walking through that door. I’ll keep blaming the rain. I can’t be bothered, i just got here but i’m ready to go I don’t know why i ever thought you would show. i’m sure there’s better places you’d rather be Oh i’m the fool I want to wear your perfume So many [better] things i could’ve said, instead to you. I’ll keep blaming the rain. There’s a reason i’m the person i am There’s a reason for those long nights in bed I’m the reason you can break down those walls You do it better than me I’m the reason you can break down those walls. So tear down those walls and tell me you’re sorry. I’ll keep blaming the rain. Oh i need you And all you do As we run from our past I’ve got some wine In the back of the van I just want a memory with you

Fever Dream 02:30
Breathe in Your weight in sand. Step back and turn around slowly. Swim deep and wait it out. On time and buried in laughter. How could i lose you? Why did i lose you? How could you say You’re somehow better off where you are? How could you say (breathe in, your weight in sand) How could you say (step back and turn around slowly) You’re better off dreaming. How could you say You’re somehow better off where you are? How can things be better off this way? How could you say, that you won’t let me down again, like before.

Sleeptalk 03:27
She’s my defeater, There, with her feet up. And there’s a reason Why i’m gone. Do you want to know what i think? You’re worth more than the shit you put yourself through So full of second hand indifference, That stays between me and you. There was that weekend i went away I swore i’d never think about it again Did i ever come back from it? Or did most of me stay. I refuse to let you down. She took a drag Of her cigarette Inside her room, Was the scent of it. Just get a grip (man) You’re losing it (one, two, three…) Before she falls Out of frame again. I refuse to let you down. I refuse to let you down. You found your own home, It was clenched between your teeth. You saw your old self. And she was staring back at me. You can act like you don’t know the truth But you’ve been talking in your sleep. You can lie on your bed of nails While you dream of sweet relief. I’ve had some bad thoughts lately. Sleep talking, sleep talking. I refuse to let you down. You found your own home, It was clenched between your teeth.

I don’t have any demons Not anymore i gave them all away I don’t have a place to call my own (OH!) I’ve been getting innovative Finding new ways to get frustrated, but we’ve all been there before. Every little thing you wanna say Every little breath just gets in the way She can take the wheel but you’ve been eying me all night It’s not a problem...but it’s been a while. We sat and drank enough to finally put the past behind us For a while. It’s been a while. We got caught In the cold of the night... Where we kept our feeling close And kept smiling as we spoke. And at the time when you both left I kept composure by the fire. I wouldn’t lie, I should’ve known to let it go. Every little thing you wanna say Every little breath gets taken away She can take the wheel but you’ve been eying me all night It’s not a problem...but it’s been a while. We sat and drank enough to finally put the past behind us For a while. It’s been a while. I’d call it off, but you get to my head . You know it’s hard for me to ignore the attention. We sat alone In a room with your friends. What do you want from me? It’s been a while She was driving fast and you were staring back at me I felt you staring back at me I felt the wind believe in me tension tangled in the moment We caught loose and hit the ocean We found hope in reconnecting Let things go just for a second.

Tradewinds 05:23
I’m tired of keeping my head down. i don’t need any more attention. Like I don’t have the same intentions as you, When i do. Overwhelmed by the possibility Of being dragged for words i didn’t mean Like I don’t have the same intentions as you. Well i do. I was caught in the city, And I know you didn’t owe me a thing. I was taken for granted But it wasn’t about me I KNOW I GET CARRIED AWAY SOME//TIMES I KNOW I LOSE TRACK OF MY OWN MIND Getting better at keeping my head down Inside, i am flawed but i am divine. Like i don’t have the same intentions as you. When I do. I’m worried I’m stuck in my own way. Worn out by the possibilities I carry loose leaf just to write the wrongs i’ve kept inside. I was caught in the city, And I know you didn’t owe me a thing. I was taken for granted But it wasn’t about me I KNOW I GET CARRIED AWAY SOME//TIMES I KNOW I LOSE TRACK OF MY OWN MIND
