lyrics

The way things have been for me lately,
feels as though I might never see
the light at the end of this...
Tunnel vision prevents me from seeing
the beauty around me and...
whether or not I should see you as...
A threat or a blessing

This blow-up mattress I sleep on is leaking
air from a tiny hole
there's so much shit in my room
my room is not my own
and ironically in this mess of life and possessions
there is nothing to keep me warm...
A thread or a blessing

Iowa Anvil

The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child. The Way It Is
