lyrics

Little lies
They twist your tongue a thousand times
It’s a true turnstile effect
Goes right through then back again
And you do
The exact same thing
You don’t want me to
And the bridge drifts apart
I’d give anything to get back to the start

Breaking ties
Like scissors slicing ribbon stripes
It’s a shame about how time works
Can’t sympathize if you tried
Still never seems it’s on your side
Everywhere now looks the same
I wanna be where no one knows my name
But can’t
Just sit and brood watching all the plants
Grow tall
They always make me feel so small

Glaze your eyes
Think of all the better times
They’ll never see the way you cry
It never fails to crush me every time
Don’t lie and say you would rather die
With me at the end of the earth
I hate to say I love you ‘cause it hurts
I love you because it hurts

As an emo fan of a certain age (i.e. old), this album feels like such a gift because I can pretend it's the sequel to Brand New's "Deja Entendu" that we'll never get. Had this come out in 2003, like "The Room's Too Cold" or "War All The Time," we'd already be reading 20th anniversary oral histories about the making of this classic album (guess we'll just have to wait until 2040). A stunner, front to back. mattgraupman
