about

Kind of a hard one… I was listening to a lot of Criteria at the time. They came through town with Russian Circles a while ago and something must’ve rubbed off on me a little… whatever it was, it felt good and even now there’s still a part of me that would like to revisit this sound for an entire album. Or at least an EP.

lyrics

You never knew what you would do
When the choice to go or stay was put upon you

Put on your best face, puff out your chest
But your patience for me is the true test

I can only stand so much use of words like "bittersweet"
We both know there's no such thing as a compromise

Fair weather friend
Farewell, my friend
It was good to see but better to leave you
And I can stand to do without being
So polite and cordial
