Undiagnosed, and it's finally hitting home
The words shattered on the grass as I watch you splinter and go
Trading last of change for a final escape or
at least a hopeful way to end all of this pain
"You'll never admit that you're the one to blame for making me feel this way."
I'm seeing the adverse effects of a life lacking love
and I'm watching the aftermath of someone who's giving up
And I know you always hated those touchy-feely moments
but I don't know how else to express that I care
The furnace in your chest is dim but still lit
I believe in you, kid. You can get through this
Tell me, why is it so hard to find joy in another?
Cause isn't that the point of being a mother?

You handed me a canvas and said, "why don't you just paint yourself instead?"
But these lines just won't intersect and I'm struggling to cope with this
And it's killing me. I can't see the hues in anything
Pull my skin back again,
I'll show you were it all began
Yes, it hurt when I watched your eyes avert
as you said you'd never fall away, you fell away
And I'm retracing everything as I feel my lungs collapse
From trying to etch these feelings across my chest
Would it make you care if I just left?
Tear my skin back again,
I hate that you're indifferent
Yes, it hurt when I watched your eyes avert
as you said you'd never fall away, you fell away
It's cold and I'm awake,
Feel the blood push past these veins
You'll say "you'll be okay"
I'm trying to let things go, but your names cut in my throat
For three years, you tortured your soul
I'm nameless from this all
Yes, it hurt when I watched your eyes avert
as you said you'd never fall away, you fell away

It Hurt a Little

This always seems to crush my chest
Weighted burdens capsize within my head
Never sinking away but tucked beneath the crashing waves between my teeth
It crippled me
And I hope you know I wake up every night from this
Time's lost its preciousness
Your touch feels like needles
Prick my skin until I can't feel
Innocence was lost within this shell
Suffocate and rot, I'm submerged in hell
I'll numb the pain that's trapped within these veins
Cause I'm shouldering the shame
And it killed me when you ran away
When I was coping
Your touch feels like needles
Prick my skin until I can't feel
Innocence was lost within this shell
Suffocate and rot, I'm submerged in hell
If all we have in this world is love, well I broke it apart and inhaled
If all we have in this world is companionship, then why do I feel such betrayal?
(I can't breathe, I'm struggling)

Memoir

I am so alone
and it's all that I read in your notes
Times gnarled these roots that you planted in my chest
and I'm struggling too
You said, "this bark has become my tomb."
You said this fractured your eyes, didn't it?
You can't tell the sea from the sand and you can't handle it
You can't handle it
Well maybe we can break together
if it'd make you feel any better
But I know that it won't
I'm afraid of you feeling this way
granite encased, like our friends who couldn't escape
You said this fractured your eyes, didn't it?
You can't tell the sea from the sand and you can't handle it
You can't handle it
You said this fractured your eyes, didn't it?
Well yes, yes it did

For a Friend

I wish you could have stayed
The storm in your head always hinted at by the rain
Held back in your eyes and you just left without any goodbyes
You're not weak, you're not heartless
I hate the way they think of you
If holding hands could bring you back, then my steadfast grip will hold until my bones turn to dust and then we're forced to let go
Stay awake, you should've said you weren't okay
and I'll bear the weight
you carved in my heart, "forever", you'll always remain
I wish you could have stayed
I think that's what you wanted
Shedding doubts and egos for much more than
shallow relationships built on fabricated friendships
I know you feel lost but that's not how it is
Stay awake, you should've said you weren't okay
and I'll bear the weight
you carved in my heart, "forever", you'll always remain
I wish you could have stayed

One of my favorite albums of all time. Turnover really hit a sound here that resonates with me deeply, and I often find myself coming back to this record and falling in love with it all over again. The drums and bass are greatly underrated on this album, creating their own unique melodies that fit within the song and create something new rather than just follow the guitars. Nothing beats the somehow joyful and somber sound of this record.

I love mom jeans. It immerses myself in those unforgettable feelings and makes me weep, and I smile as the trumpet starts to play. How wonderful.
