Sometimes this bed never seems to get warm,
even with five blankets cold air slips in,
won’t let me sleep
along with the squirrels in my wall that play games
when I turn the lights off.
Sometimes I feel alone in a room full of people,
the anxiety of not knowing what to say
and wanting to say everything at once.
Sometimes I give half hearted hugs because
half of my heart doesn’t know what hugs are,
left ventricle still too bitter and dry.
Sometimes I’ll paint trim around a door for hours
because it never seems to look complete.
Too many damn spots that show up
when I put the brush down.
Some of the worst headaches I’ve ever had
are when I scream my vocal chords out
to distorted guitar
and it’s beautiful.
Some of the best friends I’ve ever had
are right here in this basement,
graffiti covered walls and
I’m crying out for us all to be friends again.
Some of the best times I’ve ever had
are now and I’m not about to lose them
to my worried mind.
Joe is a good friend of ours, the three of us used to play in a band together where he screamed. Now he sings, plays guitar and arranges beautiful music. eaten by trees
YLLA are our friends as well! We started our bands in the Riverwest Milwaukee DIY punk scene near the same time and we're always impressed by the way they make complex, digestible music. eaten by trees
Absolutely has been one of our favorite bands for a very long time. We used to play in basements together in our old band. We're impressed by the way their sound evolves on each release. eaten by trees
