I am the deer by the road side.
I came to spill my guts.
I'm not as strong as I thought.
I'm being crushed under wet dirt.
The cool air is compressing me.
I'll tell you my secrets
if you will just make me feel important for half a second.
I'm being crushed under wet dirt.
The cool air is compressing me.

My anchors set to deep for me to break free.
I'm just a ship stuck at bay.
and I've got no way to leave and I'm howling
for anyone to save me.
I'm howling.
I've been howling for four years
At the top of my lungs
But no one hears
I've listened hard
but got nothing in return
No call from you, I guess I haven't earned it.
I'm howling.

915 weeks of bagged leaves and dead trees
pollen stains and heat waves.
I've been lead by the scruff of my neck
My claws don't have much traction on tile I guess.
I'll keep my dreams in my sleep and to myself.
Every summer I get younger.
My shoes light up with each step I take.
Band aids on my knees
But it's just me haunting the suburbs now.
All the monsters that were under my bed are living inside of me.
The sunburn on my face is my only high light left
and I'm worn thin like hand me downs.
This is my life story. I'm drowning in the fountain of my youth.

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile.
