about

wrote this one about one of my favorite childhood memories. i grew up in north carolina, and my dad used to play this game with me and my siblings where he would put a bud light on top of a basketball in our backyard and we would start along the treeline by the woods bordering our yard. on his count, we would try to run to collect the can while he would shoot paintballs at us. we LOVED it. whoever got to the beer first would bring it to him, he'd drink most, then we'd place it back on the basketball and got to shoot a pellet gun at it. my dad could invent fun out of nothing. he was the greatest-- and still is, it's just different. all for you, pops. miss you every day.

lyrics

in the backyard with my brother
with my sister, falling over
we were chasing every color
dodging bullets from our father
he was so tall on the back porch
had us roaring all with laughter
and i miss him
and i loved him
yeah i love him, it's just different

i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it

sick of sad songs for my mother
made a promise to be stronger
always felt small, in a shadow
but i'm rising toward the sun now
you should taste it,
how the summer collects teardrops from the winter
feeling older in my bedroom
but i'm wiser, yeah i'm wiser

i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it
i thought that this would go away
buried like a secret
i'm glad i get to feel this way
i'll keep it, yeah i'll keep it

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
