lyrics

I'm staggered like fence posts in Colorado
Uprooted and misplaced
A sad resemblance of my former shape
A month out from home or so I'm told
Surrounded by wind farms and roads
Surrounded but alone

I've had seven states to think and it's safe enough to say
That I'm ashamed of my station in the scheme of things
I won't change but I still complain
I've had seven states to think and it's safe enough to say
That I'm ashamed of my station in the scheme of thing
Unsatisfied and afraid

It's your typical case of woe is me
Life was better at eighteen
When we're blind and naive to the brevity that is this dream
And how damaging comparisons can be

A day out from twenty-six
(I know I've got a place back home)
And I don't feel any different
So maybe numbers account for nothing
(Regardless of how small)
I just thought I'd amount to something

Vision
by Pet Symmetry

This is an incredible follow-up to "Pets Hounds". Everything great about this band--their short, tight songwriting, catchy hooks, and musical variety--is greatly amplified here. Mirror Lake

Keep You (Deluxe Edition)
by Pianos Become The Teeth

"Keep You" is as heartbreaking as it is well-written. I genuinely love this album and enjoy it from start to finish. Can't wait to see what they follow this up with! Mirror Lake
