It was winter The kids all outside shivering We got lost in the sparks over head We gave all we had to forget how they live So drink up, drink your wine Drink up, oh father of mine Drink up We burned styrofoam to watch the flames drip like water And wash away the only semblance of grace we had But we were just stupid kids anyway So drink up and forget Drink up and forget, because we're not worth remembering.

Porches 03:52
Would it kill you to see me drink myself to sleep at night? Trapped in a room too dark with lips too dry But whisper me into sober dreams, and I'll drift off If you'll only sing me to sleep We grew up stumbling along sidewalks cracked under the weight of this town Whispering to hallucinations, the empty echoes our only comfort Would it kill you to see me drink myself to sleep at night? Trapped in a room too dark with lips too dry But whisper me into sober dreams, and I'll drift off If you'll only sing me to sleep Just sing me to sleep.

Hey pretty girl, I like you So will you sing with me to my shitty songs And you can smile and laugh And just pretend you care at all 'Cause there's this fog that's been hanging around me But if I squint, I can still see you through it We could be so beautifully awkward together Hey beautiful, it's getting fucking cold So can we hold each other and keep each other warm? I feel like I'm tearing and I think I need someone to sew my stitches together The green in your eyes consumes mine So look into my eyes and tell me you and me will be alright So lie to me and tell me we will be just fine What a sight for sore eyes, what a sight for these exhausted eyes Is it strange that just the thought of you staring at me would make feel this happy? So will you sing with me to my shitty songs And you could smile and laugh and just pretend you care at all Cause there's this fog that's been hanging around me But if I squint, I can still see you through it So I'll never stop squinting.

Colfax Kids 03:09
I remember at summer's end, wishing for the heat to subside And falling leaves making holes to spot the moon But tonight the crooked street signs and cracked windows stand bathed in light, No longer shaded by the trees that were our only support when were young kids and we were too drunk to stand Their only impact felt in the cracks in the sidewalk And the images that linger in our heads Memories of a place we deserted the first chance we got Those days we always fell short of expectations held for far too long We grew old, we grew sick of the stale air in our fucked heads Filled with the stench of these rotted stumps.

Reaches 05:05
The leaves are turning yellow, red, and beige We turn a new page The backyard covered deep in dying wood And you're gone for good I took our love to the river to die I wasn't man enough, my bones cracked and dry The first snow came the night you left Your brother's blue eyes reflect the white sand And reminders of you are everywhere (Red, yellow, beige, we turn a new page) Tiny bodies held in outstretched hands (Deep dying wood, and you're gone for good) Biting at ever-abandoned flesh You took everything with you when you left I took our love to the river to die I lost my friend, lost my family, lost my soul When I took our love to the river to die The first snow came the night you left
