lyrics
some nights i end up on a different planet.
where i can see beauty in finite existence
where i don’t press next til the end of a playlist
and i can sit still for a while.
there are nights when i still end up in the Coulee
back where i washed my hands clean of hope in a dormitory
reading books, getting stoned on the back porch
to prove that i wasn’t a child
that child.
six or seven.
having reoccurring nightmares
of dying and going to heaven.
where i’d be forever and everything’s perfect
where happiness lasted but i had detected
inherent flaws in some of the aspects
like where is the joy without all the sadness?
and i was frightened by the endlessness
John used to call me up and I’d pace the length of my parent’s backyard.
I’d ramble to him for an hour. He’d tell me someday I’d be okay, maybe i’d move on.
I moved out of the city and stopped answering his calls.
And again, I was that same little boy I had been.
Scared to death. still stuck, staring at the wall
It took me so many years to accept that
I could be okay, that John was correct.
He probably died, maybe he went to heaven
and i just wish i had one more chance to thank him
Like The Hold Steady but with a heavy dose of Midwest Emo, math rock, probably some irony? on a good day, a little overthinking in an endearing way and insane fucking precision. kristin ides
Wife Patrol make instantly catchy alt rock with streaks of punk, new wave, and metal, overlaid with Bangles-esque harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2020
This is a great album. I will one day own all of the Telethon canon on vinyl, and I’m so glad they found a box of unsold pressings, or else I probably would’ve been shit out of luck finding this gem. biggie_cheese75
