lyrics
Wake up for the days that you have missed
You're lost in an abyss, from this pining mistake.
Burn it at the stake, so you can remake it.
Wake up for the days that you have missed
Wash another dish, have a new day start fresh.
And avoid the catch, that will consume you.
Wake up for the days that you have missed
Try and find the gist of each waking moment.
Lost to the torment of your own obsession.
A funeral procession marches to the grave
So they can remake their lives again.
Gee, what could this mean?
A knot on my belt, I've done it to myself
To avoid the signs that drip red like wine
From the lips of connoisseurs who quickly take a sip
Played back on monitors to relive every bit
A felt markers tip, a peach's inner pit
Paints a message on the wall
I've clearly missed the call
A warning in my face, has thrown me out of place
To return home so suddenly
Fall into a pit of motherly
To return home
To return home so suddenly
You're lost in an abyss, from this pining mistake.
Burn it at the stake, so you can remake it.
Wake up for the days that you have missed
Wash another dish, have a new day start fresh.
And avoid the catch, that will consume you.
Wake up for the days that you have missed
Try and find the gist of each waking moment.
Lost to the torment of your own obsession.
A funeral procession marches to the grave
So they can remake their lives again.
Gee, what could this mean?
A knot on my belt, I've done it to myself
To avoid the signs that drip red like wine
From the lips of connoisseurs who quickly take a sip
Played back on monitors to relive every bit
A felt markers tip, a peach's inner pit
Paints a message on the wall
I've clearly missed the call
A warning in my face, has thrown me out of place
To return home so suddenly
Fall into a pit of motherly
To return home
To return home so suddenly

Shop Regulars Meet Ian Christensen At Dino Alley
by Shop RegularsPseudo locked groove guitars, aggressive pitter-patter drumming, and vocals that sound like Sara Carter channeling Calvin Johnson- what's not to like from Portland's See My Friends Records affiliates?

You Might Be Happy Someday
by The Reds, Pinks & PurplesThe seemingly endless output of The RP&P's catchy chorus-jangled melancholy keeps you coming back for more and more. Like if you captured Robert Smith's mindset during "The Head On The Door".

I Ain't Goin' Out Tonight
by GourmetI think I was supposed to release this album in 2016, but either I stopped responding to Gourmet's emails or Gourmet stopped responding to my emails. Regardless, the release did not happen.
