Lyrics:
Holt's above my hideout
I dug this hole beneath the floorboards
Buzzing bad and locked in
Try to not recall
Counting numbered days from the wheel we cried to clutch
Looking for some inspired land
But all I found were empty cans and cigarette butts
Lining dirty parking lots in Ottawa
(Glazed eyes, trying to rub away at the sketches of the...)
Daytime. When every second of sun's the same
What's the point of staying awake?
Your hands are out and I see
You're asking me for a vowel but I am weak and I am stubborn
So I'll say "This is all I have right now"
But I want to make something good
I want to make something better
Something that cannot leave the ground
Unless we lift it up together
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day
It's a note to self mislaid
You ate the words you always used to say
There will be no more fucking around today
Drunk and worthless, spewing bullshit all across the stage
Wake up and we find new hiding places
Trying desperately to escape
The glare from our stupid, spineless
(I don't believe you, you're all the same)
Words just whining, every fucking day
What do I really want to say?
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day
It's a note to self mislaid
You ate the words you always used to say
There will be no more fucking around today

This record is a true American treasure.

[@pibb2474]

I've been listening to this album since its release, but I only just now realized that this song, more than any other on the album, hinted that they were in their final stretches as a band. Jake wanted to start saying something more profound with their music, and he saw Bren was struggling, but he didn't want Bren to leave. He wanted to build something bigger and better together.

[@evanteague1640]

just had this same realization today, actually. hits hard

[@jimparker7758]

"Pretending we feel safe right here gets harder everyday." 💯😔

[@ben.2760]

The line "There will be no more fucking around today" hits me so hard. It makes me want to take the initiative to be myself and start living the way that I want and NEED to live. I'm so grateful for this band for being so genuine and honest.

[@lidicat4]

I feel the same way! Even after 3 years, heh. Hope you have a great life!

John G Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I think this album is a very tiny step down from “you’re gonna miss it all”

[@caldwell9-0]

@@horse_dog honestly i just like it because it’s their most mature album

[@horse_dog]

@@caldwell9-0 yea in the two years since i posted that comment this became my favorite album lmao

How does this song not have more comments they’re the feeling 90’s kids want from music

[@ericphillips3891]

so fucking good. so underrated. this is what music should be.

[@Zerobloodify]

"Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away" It still moves me forward, the goal is far ahead but its not impossible to reach.

[@Nativewalker773]

This album gives me nostalgia because it helped me through a hard fucking time in life. Miss these guys. :(

[@9t4nek]

god same

[@thehamierocket2412]

What happend to them?

[@Nativewalker773]

@@thehamierocket2412 They technically split because Jake and Ian made their own band while the other singer Brendan dealt with his mental health and stuff. They have a mini documentary that adds more light.

[@horse_dog]

@@thehamierocket2412 they broke up in 2017 due to the stress the band put on all of them. Brendan’s struggle with mental illness didn’t help either.
