    •Please be generous if you can: We stupidly did not plan this pre-order for a bandcamp Friday when all proceeds go to artists. We want to honor the advertised price, but if you can round up to $50, it will help makeup the fees. If you can't, that's totally fine and cool! And if you are struggling to afford the regular price, contact us. We will make it happen!

hot on the heels of a breakdown he wants me to call him holden I want to be franny dig my heels in the dancefloor but when I move it's just too slow I can cease to speak and swear to fade away take the oath for the length of another day dig my heels in the dancefloor but it just leaves me at the door I batter books with my barren heart the lost pursuit that I stop and start I'm alone, wandering alone heaven help her now or she'll run away a girl like that won't exist for another day hot on the heels of a breakdown he wants me to call him holden I want to be franny walk right into the backroom you've got a hip new place to dwell you can try to stop yourself from dreaming a hip new way might be deceiving walk right into the backroom I didn't jump too far I fell you can try to stop yourself from dreaming a hip new way might be deceiving I must own up to some things I move on in doomed velocity the guess is right and it convinces me

Paperchase 02:49
they ask, "are you happy here?" so young, no love industrial parked and so sincere destined by your own design do you want the valentine? they saw you, and meant to to try to rearrange your world in lines, in black and white they ask, "are you happy here?" seventeen, I was seventeen can't believe it took this long music makes me think of you centuries dip and end for you they start anew there's a panic in this town just to carve out who we are all the progress in our rooms I am native here I am the news here

I'd follow you most anywhere I'll wear your badge and cut my hair I'm sick inside but they don't care it's not so hard now watch the mods shake their knees bounce a soul for pedigree all alone shoot those looks at me count on, that it will happen in its own strange way I'm tired of wanting what I don't have fuck you for flaunting your version of cool he wants the birthday girl wrapped in his hand but it will happen in its own strange way girls with glasses rule the bar strike their matches on a moving car "and if I had an acoustic guitar" well, you know I watch the future in a chair in a pavilion at the world's fair pop songs come when the peasants care I hope that it will happen in its own strange way I'm tired of wanting what I don't have fuck you for flaunting your version of cool you want the birthday girl wrapped in your hand when it will happen in its own strange way I'm tired of wanting what I don't have fuck you for flaunting your version of cool she has the birthday girl wrapped in her hand but it will happen in its own strange way

Uninvited 04:40
I know that I'm uninvited I believe alliances can shift back to the place where we started a girl with a song and a boy with a longing to sing asleep in your room should I go in? it's something to do the bravest thing I ever did was to agree to go nowhere, tonight but I'm tired now he pushes her from the sofa she grabs his feet on the floor it's cruel of you to make me a witness I draw charts from afar and a map with a star on your house asleep in your room should be going there's nothing to do the bravest thing I ever did was to agree to go nowhere, tonight but I'm tired now I just want to exit in style my friends count the days until I give up my friends count the days until I'm gone

Phineas Gage 04:23
what went through your mind and how did you find being made unkind? what was that they said? "pour drinks through his head, can't believe he's not dead" you used to be so content and serene I can't believe that was only just last week now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean and you claim that you are more than a freak what went through your mind all of the time you were standing there? "he's not the same gage, but now he's enjoying being all the rage" you used to be so content and serene I can't believe that was only just last week now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean and you claim that you are more than a freak I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than have a frontal lobotomy strength through joy he had a car made out of soy and he wants to be just like you and me you used to be so content and serene I can't believe that was only just last week now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean and you claim that you are more than a freak

a vicious, a garish a moody neighborhood she makes a banner with her hair he waits in shadows like he knows he should the street's a history of rain catch a wave and you can go set the world ablaze in his monte carlo it's all you a grease smear, a glass front a nylon alphabet a bluejean button is undone a red matchhead catches and the scene is set sick mermaids sing of what they've sung catch a wave and you can go set the world ablaze in his monte carlo it's all you in the seconds between your closing eyes I slept a sleep of rainwashed alleys and goldenlit bars where carmine cushions cover the oak and names ring off brass a fur-lined life grew between us between the ocean mouth of a drowned face chameleon, daffodil I hold your hand

California 03:32
you say goodbye, in the saddest way you say, say say goodbye in the saddest way california, seems like another planet you never spoke that word before, before today and what I want you to know is that we want you here with your eyes full of pinballs and your mouth full of beer we'll call you the saddest one throw pennies in the well and wish away you were the one, the one of cobwebs and keyholes you wore bluejeans and tees and nothing else
11.
call me crazy it's the trend I've come and gone but never left but I'm so glad that your my friend we've spent our time in petty theft befriending darcy I want to know your name I have seen you there dancing in lamplight I want to know your name we should run and hide where they won't find us cause when they do it will only remind us that soon we will leave and sleep in beds where young girls grieve and lose their heads call me crazy it's no curse to be sad and sane is surely worse we spent the party on the porch we fell through the cracks with strange boys' hands on our backs
12.
tongue to toe you should know in your heart they'll tell you anything by your side this moment's too wide broken heart they'll tell you anything I would lie just to see you hold your face to hide the sun cause you're not looking when I try I wonder why it seems like there's no place to be and no one is keeping track of me the sickly me who hates it all broke my heart and told you everything loneliness, like a sore like a cancer, can't smile at the show
13.
if everything ends and we can no longer be friends I need a favor from you and this is what I want you to do so when you're ready to let me know promise me you'll slice me on cheerios and then I'll prepare myself to die and I won't even question you why this might seem a strange request but you know I loved you best so when you're ready to let me know remember to slice me on cheerios and one day you'll feel all alone as you sit and stare into your bowl you know it's been my life's pursuit to emulate a piece of fruit

Happy Morbid 03:12
no one's keeping track of me and I mind no one falls aside or crawls inside to see and they keep on taking me back to where I don't want to be at all go your own way this living room's a place of doom piles of smiles go your own way they'll hang on your heels straight for the door
15.
they know your name they know your face your evil eye and tongue unabashedly young and when you go you shoot the lights you blow us all to bits learn to say goodnight I've seen your face there's not a place in this town where your dreams won't abound learn to say goodnight
16.
I wonder where the world was then the intrigue and division I was there but I was missed we all got pretty only some were kissed it's all I find that takes this story and makes it more than mine they can dance and we will write hand them the script and slip out of sight speak my dreams and say them right they can dance and we will write even though it's gone I know I still think out it even though it's wrong I know I still think about it hard on myself it's a typical day

about

Girls will circle around boys-boys with too many pins on their lapels and oddly shaven hair. And the boys will circle back, dragging you like Nancy Drew through the cinderblocked corridors, landing you at the most destitute parking lot, onto the forever of a campus and suburbia and the island with its edges.
