don't leave the light on
i know i'm coming home
but i can't face myself
it's all i've ever known
you're hiding in the cracks
creeping in my mind
you're in the gaps in the floorboards
when i can't sleep at night
when the sun sets, the stars don't come out
this darkness, this spreading doubt
all of my fears on the tip of my tongue
i can't escape this, i can't run
my feet are sinking, my knees are giving out
i can't take this, you can't hear me shout
my body's failing, left out to roam
i'm a broken home
i'm a broken home
sinking into the foundations
i am failing

i'll always be a disappointment
i can't help feeling this way
because that's how you made me
and i used to look up with such bright eyes
but now all i want to be is a closed book
pages torn out, burnt up, hidden
so i don't feel the judgement
is this what
we are now

and it's taken all the best of me
i find myself struggling to be anything
and spending time on nothing
and i'm tired
and i'm tired of this fight that has me
gasping for my tongue
to find the strength to carry on
and find peace
in the gratification
that my life will amount
to something that's worth all the hardship
and i can't help but compare myself to everyone else
and i can't help but despair when i can't create gold
and it's taking all the best of me
to keep myself struggling to be anything
and i'm sinking into nothing
sinking into nothing
how can i say
everything i'm feeling
how can i say
how can i say
anything i'm feeling
how can i say

Old Pride
by Pianos Become The Teeth
I think the influence from this record is fairly obvious, but it needs to be stated anyway. Pianos Become The Teeth were the first screamo band I ever listened to, they mean so much to me.

My Iron Lung. Phenomenal band, and a huge inspiration for every aspect of this project. This was one of the first records I obsessed with while my music taste ‘matured’.

What might a band like Indian Summer or Native Nod sound like if they were thrashing around a 21st century basement? It could be something like this.

Emo in the classic 90s vein of melodic emocore, pulling heavily from midwest emo. Imagine early Rainer Maria in a blender with i hate myself, Staynless, and Football, Etc.
