My finger crossing days are dead and gone
I've forgotten all the words to a once familiar song
And I'm trying to stand tall, always scared that I will fall
And the rest of you will just keep moving on
And I know that you are trying to sail a stormy sea
But don't you worry baby, those crowd outside they're only here for me
And I miss the days we never thought of dying
The smiles on our faces were so real
Now I'm past the point of knowing and of trying
No longer do I want to make a deal
With the devil in your eyes
But he's staring back at me
Be careful not to cry
Because you might just set him free, oh set me free
This young American heart
You're breaking it good

I always knew I'd meet someone like you
Make me think the devil's on his way
Momma always told me I should turn away from evil
But momma never saw your pretty face
Now I'm going down to the river to wash these sins away
And if you see me and I'm bleeding, then patch me up and send me on my way
Because girl you know, you've got a heart like a loaded gun
It's times like these we learn to know who's gonna stay and who will go,
And baby you were born to run
So watch me die and celebrate when I am gone
And maybe then you'll understand, you could've given me a hand
But you, you probably knew that all along
And you'll go down to the river to wash your sins away
And if you're bleeding and you need me, I'll patch you up and send you on your way
Because girl you know, you've got a heart like a loaded gun
And now you'll never get the chance for one last song or one last dance
Because baby I was born to f******* run

Back in grade school, when I met you, back when life was free and fun
When I hated all the pretty things, there was one that I loved
Oh Aliza, girl you stole my heart the day I saw your face
Then you ran with it far, far from this place
And that picture on your wall it's gonna fall, it's gonna fall
When the earth, it starts to shake, will you notice it at all?
And if your lies, they hold the world together, stitches always tear
You're still the only voice I ever hear
And this ringing in my ears won't ever stop, won't ever stop
Until I fight off all these demons and stop staring at that clock
I guess it's hard to understand when we're still worlds apart
It's always Death or Glory whole you're ripping out my heart
But I guess you knew that right up from the start
I'm and actor, I'm a liar, I pretend it doesn't hurt
I keep moving and ignore my wounds or wipe them with some dirt
I drink and smoke cheap cigarettes and I drown it out with noise
And I visit the sea to try and fill the void
Oh Aliza, oh Aliza you sure put me in my place
I will bury my head in the sand and try to hide my face
I'll write songs about you and hope you hear them
Wondering if this current flows both ways
While I'm reading all those letters that I never got the chance to send your way
Oh they say the sun shines brightest after rain
But who the hell are they?

Would you be more damn considerate, if you knew that I was heading on my way?
And would you learn to count your blessings, know there are some things that you should never say?
Because I have had it up to here, and I don't know if I can last another day
But every time I get to leaving, don't you know that there's a reason I should stay
So goodbye,
Farewell,
Roll me through the gates of hell
Because I know for sure that we will not slow down
And I would give you everything I've got
If I knew that you would change your f******ng ways
But I am constantly forgiving
While you go and make the same old damn mistakes
So goodbye,
Farewell,
Roll me through the gates of hell
Because I know for sure, that I won't make it here
And misery loves company, but you just don't mean enough to me
So I will save my sympathy for someone who may need it
And you might have our backs against the wall
And you might have us bleeding
But we will not slow down
I will write you letters

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil

Goes amazing with pizza, weed, and your girlfriend leaving you.

Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals.

The Atlanta trio find an appealing balance between their trademark razor sharp wiry riffage and freewheeling groove.

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile.
