You'd pick up a penny
But let go of your wife
Is that what you taught me
On my mothers porch
Collecting change
I'm sorry
Things can't change
Reflecting on the fact
You miss her dearly now
You can't change
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brother and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her fathers face
You'd pick up quarter
But let go of your life
Were you just too scared to fight
You say you're afraid
More days behind you than in front
I say
You're not trying hard enough
You didn't try
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
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
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 22, 2019
