about

This song is about a lot of things and a lot of people. It's just a demo. This song will be on our full length coming out soon.

lyrics

Just two blocks to the steps on the church
We don't go in, we just want salvation
You painted a picture of a chemical swirl
While our friend swim in the chemicals
We cut your hair in the kitchen
We swept it outside and I grew my hair long
We nearly froze to death before we left
You were just a kid when you brought one in
You were in love when we met
It didn't take long for you to be my kin

I gave it up long enough to remember the taste
I gave it up just enough to remember the taste
This is the taste of a teenage misery
This is the taste of the young kids' memory, misery

I held your hand, but you were thinkin' of him
But I'm so lost, just lookin' at your skin
I'm so tired, time keeps moving on
Back and forth you go, and then you come back in
Tell me what's wrong, but you won't talk
And I won't talk cause it's all in my head
Can't we just sit here for a while
I can feel it coming, here we go again
It wouldn't come out anyways
And if it did, it wouldn't sound right to you

I gave you up now I remember how you feel
I gave you up now I remember how it feels
This is the sound of a teenage misery
This is the sound of a young kid's memory, misery

It's closing time, I guess I'll sweep up the floor
Meet me outside, I'll be on the table
It's all cavin' in, these people all look the same
They boarded it up, but we still broke in
All of the places that we used to go
They were so new, but now nobody knows
I think I'm getting sick cause my head aches
You used to change, but now nothing does
I can't count em' on one hand
I guess it's time to start over again

This isn't life it's a teenage misery
This isn't life it's the young kids' memory
This isn't life it's a teenage misery
This isn't life, it just feels like it's the place to be, in misery
