lyrics

They’ll be here any minute for my kneecaps
So maybe wait a couple days before you cash that
Lock me away in my Faraday cage
Puckered face from the wine I made out of these sour grapes

Walking on sunshine, running on fumes
Up on these cinder blocks enjoying the view
Everyone’s gone, couldn’t make them stay if I wanted to
But I really fucking wanted to

I could have been a contender
Now I just carve cardboard boxes into pinhole projectors

'Cause my borderline peregrine eyesight
Can’t look directly at the bright side
It’s not safe yet
There’s bound to be aftershocks
I’m not a safe bet
I’m just an afterthought

They’ll be here any minute think you could
Burn down the forest, Get me out of the woods
Everyone’s gone, couldn’t make them stay if they wanted to
I just wish that they wanted to.

I could have been a contender
At least that’s what I keep telling this bartender

'Cause my borderline peregrine eyesight
Can’t look directly at the bright side
It’s not safe yet
There’s bound to be aftershocks
I’m not a safe bet
I’m just an afterthought

I could have been a contender
Ended up being nothing

Sorry Dudes EP
by Not Half Bad

We've been known to have jacuzzi parties a few hours before shows with these jerks which lead to throwing up in taco bell parking lots a lot right before we play. Our favorite people. This EP is rad. Moonraker

Yikes
by Dollar Signs

This album is amazing. If you're a fan of early Dashboard Confessional or Matchbox 20 before they sold out, definitely check this out. Also If you like Bojack Horseman you might understand this album Moonraker

Trenchknife
by The Scandals

The Scandals are one of those bands that when they blow up, all of us who have known them will just say "Well yeah, duh. Of course." Rad punk rock with catchy "why-didnt-I-write-that" choruses to sing Moonraker
