bought you a record even though you didn't have a record player guess i kinda missed the point on that one showed you a comic i liked and we read it side by side on the inflatable bed i replaced my regular bed with so we could have more space remember making out in my room while my parents weren't in listening to El Ten Eleven i haven't put that album on in years i hear your voice in every song off So Much For The Afterglow i find your face in all the Pollock pieces you showed me i'm right back to cuddling on the couch with every Studio Ghibli film i see oh god i can hear your heart beating

[remember kids: it's not punk to talk to cops, it's not punk to vote for tories, and it's not punk to do cocaine] i don't drink anything except sparkling water and peppermint tea so when i'm screaming in your living room it's not the alcohol or caffeine it's just me "what is art?" i think to myself as i piss in amy's toilet "and why do i sing along to every song that comes on" even when I'm alone even when it's something that I don't know i just get this feeling in my bones and i gotta put on a show pat the bunny said "if you're not dancing then you might as well be dead" and that's ableist and untrue but it describes my attitude so if you wanna take my hand I'll show you what it means to do more than consume art to make it a part of who you are look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

another late night another fucking guy very cis very straight i'm feeling very in the way standing at the front cause i want to be involved cause gigs are supposed to be fun you know but i feel i'm too judgemental or maybe these emo bands do all sound the same just drunk children singing 'bout nothing shrouded in metaphor so they seem like something worth discussing i might go home i always go home i can't remember the last time i stayed until the end of a show but what would i listen to when i got back half the bands i loved are lead by abusers maybe i could watch a movie instead that's a joke i'm just too scared to care about any artist that i don't personally know anymore still got brand new lyrics bouncing around my head i've grown up listening to abuse men whine about how empty they feel so forgive if i'm dismissive about the similar kind of thing that's playing tonight that's playing every night that everyone i know seems to actually fucking like give up hope fuck the scene stay at home fuck the scene fight the future fuck the scene worship no one fuck the scene don't pay entry fuck the scene heckle constantly fuck the scene burn the place down fuck the scene kill your heroes fuck the scene

i'm tired it's in my blood and i'm starting to doubt whether i'll make it home this coat's not waterproof headphones broke again so i'm listening to the wind and the rain and the traffic thinking about the things i said trying to console a friend wishing that i knew how to be supportive just wanna take my wet clothes off and get back to bed but i mean it's not like i ever really rest cause when i try to go to sleep i hear people speak to me i hear drums beat distant screams it's a cacophony and in my dreams i get deadnamed by my friends and i try and fail to save my ex again and again i'm tired you could say i'm fatigued is it a symptom of some disease or is it just me? got this internalised fear of disability i'm acting like it's no different from dying i don't know how to express this anxiety i'm not even sure that i should try is this my place to speak? is this song worth anything? is this art or am i just spiralling? my face hurts i'm still not back i hate this place but i'm fucking trapped would move to the states but i can't get insurance the wife and i would die so goddamn fast so i'm stuck here where it's not much better got the tories in power and this dreadful weather i'm soaked to the bone i'm shivering like fuck i'm tired it's in my blood oh no we're falling down a hole oh no we're falling down a hole oh no we're falling down a hole oh no we're falling down a hole we're getting to the last of this teenage angst emo bullshit i hope this is the last of this emotionally jackin it have you learned anything? did you sing along? has it been worth the listening? is this noise better than nothing at all?

about

C/W: Abuse, Drugs mention, Violence, Ableism
Track 3 is about the culture of abuse that exists in the music scene
Track 4 is partly about disability and internalised ableism

this'll probably be our last straight up punk release, for a while at least. it's been about a year since our first full band ep and we had a few of these songs still in us and wanted to see how far we'd come.

this is the result of ~12 hours straight spent in the studio. 7hdi uses and endorses energy drinks.
