about

This entire EP is just a snapshot of our lives in 2012. The first track is my (Jacob's) song about moving on and this one is Para's. Not much else needs to be said - except hopefully you enjoy the various layers of puns and metaphors nesting in each other. If you ever find your self in the Canning river area, do yourself a favor and go check out the river gym. It's been a place of healing for many bros.

lyrics

I'll be the first one to admit
That everything just turned to shit
When you, decided that you'd had enough of me

But when you were on the same boat
Struggling to stay afloat
Well i guess, a future must have been hard to see

And I've turned into a fucking monster
Working through a six day roster
Doing everything to show no pain
Doing anything to keep me sane

And though it all ended on a sour note
I'm most haunted by this direct quote
"I'll always be here for you, no matter what"
Well thanks a lot, you fucking forgot!

And so i parked my car in a quiet spot
Down by the river, across from a vacant lot
And it was Just you and me
And an awkward cameo from Paul Haselbee
You said you just wanted to friends
But i still wanted more
Because they say that possessions nine tenths of the law
And you were with me, but you were never really mine
I guess that i never really did toe the line

I didn't plan for this, but i'll be fine
Because all wounds heal in time

But the transition period, oh it's living hell!
Knowing that i'll never wake up to your hairs sweet scented smell

No longer having a companion by your side
feeling like Tom Hanks (TOM, HANKS)
When Wilson was taken by the tide

And when i said you meant nothing to me, i lied
This is no longer an issue of pride
After such a long and bumpy ride
Please don't forget how hard i tried
