Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip.
First stop: 12th grade.
Always thought I could buy happiness,
But I'm emotionally spent and I can't afford to lose again.
Another girl, another friend.
Another reason to leave the party early
When I see you on the other side of the room.
The worst four letters: L O V
Enough's enough. I'm sick of having fun.
I'm sick of everything I love going to someone else.
And at the end of the night,
I'll still walk you to your car and
I take the long way home to avoid everyone.
Text me when you get homesick.
I've been thinking about that phone call.
I've been driving past your exit.
I know what we had wasn't perfect,
But if it isn't fixed, don't break it. Don't
Broken window playing ball in the backyard.
Broken window when I got in a fight with you.
Broken window just to get in my own house.
The landlord locked me out.
The rent's past due.
Order up! Burns on your hands from years of food service. Loser.
What the fuck? I worked 40 hours last week this can't be right.
Under the table life.
Flipping burgers, washing dishes, pumping gas,
Delivering pizzas, every weekend until I the day die.
I watch the kids with degrees just step all over me.
Now I'm arguing with some guys from New Jersey over extra cheese,
And I still think about that phone call,
And I still pass your exit and every day I think.
And I think about it- And I think-
So this is what I had to live for?
So this is what I had
To live for?
Empty pockets, heartbreak, past mistakes,
Friends I hate, every night and every day until I just evaporate, I -
Love someone and it's just not working. I-
Can't follow my dreams because I'm always working. I -
Need to go back to school I'm almost thirty. I -
Don't know why I'm alive, I swear I should have died that night.
It's hard for me,
It's hard for me to say that I'm actually happy that I'm still here.
I really try,
But I'm really not okay and there's
No headline for the kid who survived.
There's no headline for the kid who survived.
There's no headline for the kid who survived.

Always felt the food service part

[@LordWarcrown]

As a former food service worker...I understand why he did it!

[@joezzles]

The coughing is in the song Why Did You Do it? at "I wish I was never born" around 2:15. Such a fucking stand out, raw, part out of so many of which ya'll have. Was actually just thinking about that this morning on my way to work. One of those miracle takes that you can't plan

[@vincentdemaria2312]

I was looking to see if someone else commented about this lol. Theres multiple parts of the title track that stand out crazy, but lets be honest all of their music is truly unforgettable. I''l be bangin these songs till i have dementia

[@redalchemy]

I literally tear up every time I listen thru this album. I also love the coughing at that part. I feel like his screams evoke such emotion, it just matches the lyrics so well. The part at the end too where you find out the "Why did you do it?" is directed at the parents just gives me chills. You go the whole album thinking it's a question asked by everyone else, but it's ultimately directed at everyone who made Jamie do it. Chills. Every time. I love this album.

[@YaBoyJRock42069]

I'm 36 and I'm a fast food manager. It absolutely sucks. That whole part is relatable and real. Im also a suicide survivor and often wonder why "this is the shit I survived for??" It's hard to not feel bitter about everything. I'm old, balding, broke and my spirit is broken Anyway, I love this band so much. Even the songs I can't personally relate to I can feel the reality. Someone out there really is living these songs. It's their reality

[@redalchemy]

I did not know this song was about if Jamie had survived. I assumed it was about one of his friends or something. Wow. You are friggin amazing at these lyrics. Also, those coughs in WDYDI weren't intentional?? They add SO much to that part. Its so great.

[@ohxtasy6898]

I love this series so much. Coffee and conversation next? ❤

[@iandias5935]

i discovered kaonashi when car keys was released, but in this last 2 months i was basically only listening to this guys, and the level of emotions in this lyrics and performance are truly inspiring it helped me a lot, thx

[@logie2144]

fuckin love this band

[@maxrivera3135]

take me back 9 years ago

[@brandttso1662]

Amazing! This is the song that got me absolutely hooked to Kaonashi and I listened to it for months! I eventually crept my way thru your discography and enjoyed every bit of your music and I ended up getting to meet you Peter before and after the show in KC recently and I and ever grateful for hearing all of you live and getting to experience your music !

[@mikeydflanders3563]

This song always gets me towards the end :///

[@davebossung1825]

Never stop doing these.. So cool.. These guys are doing important work.

[@toallthecrowdedrooms283]

Keep these coming! Always love your guys lyrics. I tend to make my own meanings behind lyrics and this was awesome to hear broken down.

[@shiftyjim4138]

I’d love coffee and conversation as well! Also, maybe a full rundown on the story of Jamie and Morgan???

[@project_pears]

I love how WDYDI and Lemonhouse connect themselves into these timelines. Obviously every song has that line that hits home, but the fact you can be so truthful yet connect it into a coherent story is so interesting. Im still piecing together Native and Ex Prayers correlation to said story, but I'm some way the ambiguity of it all makes it so mysterious and fascinating.

[@shiftyjim4138]

Fuck yeah I love you guys! Can’t wait to hopefully see you guys in Orlando this month!

[@dylancate3221]

After hearing this the intro always levels me! Couldn’t imagine how it felt doing it the first few times

[@No5elfCTRL]

Dang I love this song. Kaonashi is amazing

[@SeraphZ87]

That Oceana Birtheater hoodie tho!!! I remember wanting that one specifically so bad when i was still in middle school lmao.

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend.

[@Duckington]

These videos mean so much to me - so glad you are making them! I absolutely adore the music and writing that your band puts out and thoroughly dive into the lore so these are just a gift. Thanks for what you have created!

[@donttalktocops9129]

[@MRBURNSakaEarlHazard]

My guy Ryan Harvey was surprised when he heard me bumpin y'all shit! Dis song means so much to me dawg you have no idea bruh! Real life experiences dat I and many others been through. Classic! Especially da Courage The Cowardly Dog meme video

[@okosan]
