lyrics

well i've had it up to here
below the surface
the valley peaks and precipice
the ocean pits and sands
well i'll tell you something now
my feet are burning to walk out on monotony
to walk away from here

i'm not looking for flat land
i'm just looking to get some sleep
i'm just looking for somewhere else

i'm not looking for flat land
i'm just looking to get some air
i'm just looking for somewhere else

the longer i sit here the more time i have to sew my fingers to my palms, in a shape loosely resembling a fist. the shelter of this roof that i've built above my head is begging to crumble from the persistence of this Michigan rain and with that being said, i think its time that I left this place in search of somewhere new. so I'm leaving now

while my footprints may be insignificant on my way there, i will leave a river in my wake when i return to send all the wreckage from this god-forsaken house downstream to where i came from.

next time you see me, my shadow will longer face west - away from the morning sun.
next time you see me, my arms will no longer be outstretched, reaching for god knows what
next time you see me, I'll be taller than trees
next time you see me, I'll be walking along mountains
next time you see me -
i swear to god: I'll see you soon enough.

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
