I took the train back to see the South. I can't pretend I'm not concerned with the way words fall out my mouth. I'm just waiting on a verse. Things seem so damn far from reach. When you're living out a dream. We try to live beyond our means. While we're tearing at the seams. They say I'm down to nothing. I tell them come what here may. To me, it feels like something, My hearts' been on display. I've been running blind. Am I everything I'm supposed to be? I've spent so much time taking advantage of what's in front of me. I feel so broken and jaded, I miss the life that I traded. So belligerent, swelling up with indifference. Skimming the pages, I never followed in their footsteps. Glued to this ladder, I can't fucking climb up. And I know I'm hard on myself, but I feel like I deserve it. And I know it's bad for my health, I just thought that it might be worth it. They say I'm down to nothing. I tell them come what here may. To me, it feels like something. My hearts been on display. I've been running blind. Am I everything I'm supposed to be? I've spent so much time taking advantage of what's in front of me. I feel so broken and jaded, I miss the life that I traded. This path that I tread upon is my own paragon. The struggles that I stumble on, are full blown. I'll carry on. I've been running blind. Am I everything I'm supposed to be? I've spent so much time taking advantage of what's in front of me. I feel so broken and jaded. I miss the life that I traded.
The style of singing and lyrics fit this song so beautifully. It get's out all the pain of losing someone you care about while wishing them well. The whole album is solid however and I'm super happy to own this. RMP
I'm coming out of a decade long musical hiatus. The last punk band to really move me was from the Bay (American Steel), so it's no surprise that I returned there for inspiration. Can't Swim is absolutely worth a listen for fans of Lawrence Arms or Taking Back Sunday. I'm sure there are much better comparisons - if that's you thing - but as I said, I've been out of the game for a long time. Thank you to Can't Swim for inspiring me to play again. Dave Wreckoning
