about

Cameron: This song was originally supposed to be titled "Manic" because I wrote it about the manic depression that I struggle with each day. Bringing this concept to light was something that I found very difficult, but I was hoping people who deal with the same thing can understand and relate to these lyrics. This was the one of the first songs I wrote in a long time that's not specifically centered on one person, rather pinning all of my problems on myself. Manic depression is not someone that you can blame on anyone, or even yourself for that matter, it's just something I will have to deal with and make the best of for the rest of my life.

lyrics

Cam, Charlie, Raph, Nick, Jon: I’ve been digging a grave with the parts of my brain that still work. They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams.

Cam: I still feel a heart that's beating but I can't feel love, I still feel a life inside me but I feel no blood. I still clench my teeth and I pull out my hair; my skin and bones are bare. I've been living with the weight of the world and the moon and the stars, burning in my eyes. I haven't seen clear in 19 years; will you please save my life?

Cam, Charlie, Raph, Nick, Jon: I’ve been digging a grave with the parts of my brain that still work. They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams.

Desolate Peaks
by State Faults

Incredibly talented and thought-out post-rock influenced screamo from our California brothers. Johnny's vocals are emotional and intense, and the music behind them is massive and jarring. Old Gray

We Can Live In The Exact Same Place
by I Kill Giants

These guys put on one of the best live shows I have ever seen; not only are they some of our closest friends, they are all musical virtuosos, and this release shows it. Can't wait for the LP. Old Gray

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. charlesjr
