"Just go" you said. "Not forever, just for now".
But what's the difference?
What's the difference? What's the point?
Let's be honest. You already had your mind made up
Before I even had the chance to plead my sorry case.
But it's okay.
Fast forward a couple months. I hate myself.
I hate my friends. So fucking what? (So fucking what?)
It's sad that it has come to this, but it was obvious.
I could feel it in the way you held my hand.
Like you were holding on to something you no longer want to have.
I know it's nobody's fault but my own. "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm just glad to see you go".
Could you imagine the sinking that my chest felt
After hearing something like that? Of course you can.
I bet you have. I bet it's keeping you up nights.
I bet it doesn't. Who am I kidding? Who am I trying to convince?
And it haunts me. Every single word you said.
But I never thought I'd say this. It's okay.
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
