Awful Days 02:41
I'm sorry babe, you'll never be able to wipe away this constant look of discomfort on my face I need another you to help me find a way to waste away these days 'cause theres too many in the way It's such a drag to go out every Friday to find someone new whos down to kick it in my room And at my old school I used to think things were so cool, but I just smoked weed in my room and started fights with you But you know me better than anyone else You took my hand and I dragged you through hell And I no longer feel like a shell But a bloated sequel to a movie where the hero never helps and turns out just to be a dick Who traded all the love he had just to drink 'till he feels sick You texted me today and I tried to stay a step away So I wouldn't slip and fall into all my old cyclical ways Even though I would love nothing more than to curl up next to you at the end of my awful days All my terrible days.

I've been fascinated recently by the way the sun reflects On all the colors of the leaves And try as though I might to paint a perfect picture every time I'm thwarted by my lack of expertise You gave a signal of distress you called I came Tried to finesse a change but I misread the breeze You disappeared into the trees I watched the autumn wind reverse all of your tears' trajectories ~oohs~ Front porch sojourn on a summer night I got a new twist on Some old ideas I think you'll understand I've practiced all my lines in the bathroom mirror swore I wouldn't fuck up But my rhetoric is putty in your hands Words words words words words it's all you hear, it's all you've ever heard So I sip my liquid self-pity from its silver can Until I spill my guts with the contents of my stomach On the hallway carpet sometime round 3am ~oohs~ Now she's talking to him in that flirtatious tone And she's touching his arm so I pull out my phone Like I've got texts to send oh man but it's just a lock screen So I put it back in my pocket try my hardest not to be seen Now my best friends are worried and now I've caught their eye I wish I could leave wish I weren't so high Cause now I'm trippin balls and they tell me to relax Like it's all in my head well that's just as bad ~ohs~

Up/Down 04:06
I'm washed up at 21, You'll always say hi to me last And the theory is if I avoid looking in your eyes, I'll avoid confronting my past The longer I drink the less that I think but the closer I feel to alright I've been at this game for a while it should be no surprise Then you went upstairs to try and feel respected as I went downstairs where I felt neglected Drunkenly determine what I think that goes on and why handling reality is always so hard It was considerate of you to soften the blow by lying and saying you were going home As you blur the divide that exists in my mind between paranoid delusions and real fucking life.

credits

released April 20, 2017

Zach would like to thank Wesleyan University in general, the Argus specifically, flaky collaborators, pernicious administrators and most white people.

Dan would like to thank History Department chair Gary Shaw, the amazingly transparent Wesleyan booking process, Music House, and his friends that ask him about his "band"!

Jason would like to thank Paul Ryan, bureaucracy, and people whose opinions on music are suspiciously similar to what's written on Pitchfork.

Anthony would like to thank Idio Gallery.
