Since you left, I found my way. I didn’t need you anyway. I found someone I really like. Don’t give me that look. Don’t give me that fake smile. I’m such a liar. Since you left, I found my way. I didn’t need you anyway. These drugs don’t work, but neither do I. Took a walk in your shoes, Only made it half a mile. I’m such a liar. In the lamp-lit room, I sit alone. It’s all yours now. My whole world bows. In the lamp-lit room, I sit alone. It’s all yours now. My whole world comes crashing down. Since you left...

You Told Me 03:12
I just woke up from a dream of you. You did the things that you always do, But without me there. I was so, so scared. And now I realize what I’ve done, And I realize this time I can’t run Away from all of this - Away from all of this. And you told me You’d always hold me. Now I see through the lies Through the lies you kept hidden behind those eyes. I just woke up from a dream of you. You said the things that you always do, But to somebody else, Like I was never there. And now I realize what I’ve done, And I realize this time I can’t run Away from all of this - Away from all of this. And you told me You’d always hold me. Now I see through the lies Through the lies you kept hidden behind those eyes. And you said to me You’d always care for me, And I don’t see why I don’t see why I never thought otherwise. And you told me You’d always hold me. Now I see through the lies. Through the lies. Through the lies. And you said to me You’d always care for me, And I don’t see why - I don’t see why I don’t see why I was so terrified.

Criminal 03:14
The love has been squeezed from your heart. She tells me it’s a beautiful art. Oh, She brags it’s a beautiful art. But she’s nothing but a fucking vandal to me - Writing on the walls of the innocent and the free. Nothing but a common criminal, you see - Playing with the minds and emotions of the free. The love has been squeezed from your heart. She tells me it’s a beautiful art. You showcase your sorrow, though she’ll be gone by tomorrow. She brags it’s a beautiful art. But she’s nothing but a fucking vandal to me - Writing on the walls of the innocent and the free. Nothing but a common criminal, you see - Playing with the minds and emotions of the free. She wanders around in fields. Nothing but a fucking vandal to me - Writing on the walls of the innocent and the free. Nothing but a common criminal, you see - Playing with the minds and emotions of the free.

The Rain 03:42
This is unprecedented. I can only wonder how I managed it. You and I used to be so kind, I can’t explain why - I can’t explain this time. Well, the rain keeps coming. Again and again and again and again. And the shame - I’m always running Again and again and again and again. This life can’t be left behind. Not this time. No, not this time. It’s so strange how I’m so strange. It’s been years now. Something’s bound to change. And these lights, as they pass us by, Are so mesmerizing. So mesmerizing. And this mask - always smiling. The perfect disguise. The perfect disguise When the rain keeps coming. Again and again and again and again. And the shame - I’m always running Again and again and again and again. Though I have no direction, I’ll show no fear. Will the rain keep coming Again and again and again and again? And the shame - I’m always running from you Again and again and again and again. But your name - so important to me. Your name. Your name. Just the sound of your name. But I forgot: I’m not important to you Again. Again. Again.

Go Back 04:59
Please, won’t you go away? I don’t want to go out today. Please, won’t you go away? I don’t want to come out to play. My life will never be perfect. My mind will never be clear. Well, I hope you find what you’re looking for, And I pray you keep it near. I asked her “Baby, where are you at?” And I nearly had a heart attack. I asked her “Baby, do you like that?” And she lets out a little laugh. All those talks we had at night - Does it matter who was wrong and who was right? I used to worry I’d fail you, But here they want to impale you. I asked her “Baby, do you like where you are?” She said “I like it, but it’s pretty far From home and everything I know.” I say “Go back, baby. Go, go, go.” I say “Go back, baby. Go, go, go.” She tells me “No, baby. No, no, no. If I don’t stay, then I’ll never get anywhere,” As she puts another pin in her hair. I say “Go back.”

In the grand scheme, There is no theme. There is nothing but chaos. In the backyard, We’ve found so far, There is nothing that can hurt us. Out the window, There are no payphones. There is no cell reception. In the evening, I play a simple thing And I sing of loneliness. Without you here, I don’t know what to do with myself. In the backseat, We have no privacy We have no business being there. That stupid phone call... Those stupid words... Well, now you know that I’m a coward. Without you here, I don’t know what to do with myself. Tears of sadness, Tears of joy. What’s it matter anymore? It all amounts To the same thing: A pillow drenched, a broken wing. Without you here, I don’t know what to do with myself.

about

For the past two years, we've been hard at work writing new material and experimenting with new techniques. These experiments finally manifest themselves in our official debut release, "Showcase Your Sorrow" -- a self-produced, self-recorded EP about heartbreak and abandonment.
