No today I don’t wanna grow up.
I see the fault in every line,
The poison’s creeping up my spine.
Yeah today I just wanna throw up.
‘Cuz every word’s a waste of time,
I see my worth inside your eyes.
I thought the stars would all align,
I figured I would be alright
But I’m afraid of this.
The fakes, the fame the godlessness.
You’re riding alone
With nowhere to go.
No lines on the road,
Is it worth that feeling?
You’re riding alone,
With nowhere to go.
Is it worth that feeling?
Well today was kind of fucked up.
I guess I’m meant to feel this way,
Is there a problem with my brain?
Yeah today they were all stuck up.
I’ve heard that fortune is a race,
They’ll cut your throat for second place.
I guess we’re all just misaligned,
I guess they’re all afraid of time
Is meant to burn away.
They speak of god but stain the page.
But who would want a perfect life?
With nothing wrong, but nothing right?
With nothing right?
You’re riding alone
With nowhere to go.
No lines on the road,
Is it worth that feeling?
You’re riding alone,
With nowhere to go.
Is it worth that feeling?

You’re riding alone
With nowhere to go.
No lines on the road,
Is it worth that feeling?
You’re riding alone
With nowhere to go.
No lines on the road,
Is it worth that feeling?
You want truth for your bones?
Money can’t make a home.
You’re scared and you know.
Yeah I know you feel it.
You’re riding alone
With nowhere to go.
Is it worth that feeling?
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
