Wide awake, from the pain in your neck.
Keep your eyes on the road &
Forget what they say.
I hope the voices in your head only whisper today.
But I know they scream instead.
I hope the fire in your belly doesn't smoke out your brain.
We'll play hide & seek with the world on the other team.
Sleep for the rest of my days.
& I'd just wish the world away.
So chew me up & spit me out.
I'll hit the bed before I drown.
Restless nights, alone again.
That stabbing pain in your head.
You'd rather be home.
You'd rather be home again.
You'd rather be home.
With Trapped Nerves in your neck.
Cause you're the air in my lungs.
& I'm the tear on your cheek.
So i'll turn off my alarm so we can sleep.
Cause I wish you felt better.
(Cause you are better)
You are better than me.
On & on we're only getting deeper.
Too deep for you to see.
So chew me up & spit me out.
I'll hit the bed before I drown.
Restless nights, alone again.
That stabbing pain in your head.
You'd rather be home.
You'd rather be home again.
You'd rather be home.
With Trapped Nerves in your neck.
Sleep for the rest of my days.
& I'd just wish the world away.
So chew me up & spit me out.
I'll hit the bed before I drown.
Restless nights, alone again.
That stabbing pain in your head.
You'd rather be home.
You'd rather be home again.
You'd rather be home.
With Trapped Nerves in your neck.
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
The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
