lyrics

As a kid I ached for new places, but was forced to create, correct the mistakes and fill the craters of boredom we felt our area encased.

Some days it felt like torture, like getting caught in the rain, but looking back we made it and it made us and I wouldn't change a thing.

This is who I am and where I'm from. I love this city and how it's grown: the attitude, the feeing of home, of beginning rather than latching on, of building rather than buying. Onward west/east coast/in between: we send you with love, but if you leave or were never here your opinion means nothing.

You think you look down on us?
You think you're disgusted?
Buzz off, you scum! You're nothing!

You didn't stay to become this place: you can't say what you say you're escaping. You're gone, but you haunt like some small town ghost: powerless and unknown, unable to let go. Your voice echoes through your hollow descriptions and vague negative tone. Delayed comprehension. Assumed information. Indecipherable reflection.

Go back to LA. Go back to the bay. Go back where you came from.

came here for some dank toledo doom with tight musicianship & familiar female vocals (in a good way) - left with a thoroughly wonderful impression - then was utterly decimated by nothing is real (in a good way) christopher_jerome
