about

originally recorded in my bedroom in 2010.
re-released by ozona records April 2015 for the Post Teen Disaster Compilation.

lyrics

the flashing lights...
the spinning rooms...
silence breaks through sound but i'm not cutting off my ears.
and i can see far away.
there's a break in all this misery.
it's been belated all these years
and all we do is operate the same.

i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this town.
i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this time.

sometimes, the alcohol is the only thing that will eat at
every single prayer i have
and it seems
i keep drinking fast and all alone and i let my feelings get the best of me.
it's playing catch up with my brain.
insane, i know
it seems to me when i keep singing to these walls again.
they're calling out our names.
and i can see your faces while i'd rather not display mine at all.

i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this time.
i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this time.
i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this time.
i'm trapped under ice but nothing seems to freeze this time.

we said good morning to the sunlight.
together, we waited for the end.
