lyrics

They’re building new buildings. They’re gonna block our view. And I do suppose it’s payback in turn from those we did the same thing to. Along bypasses and ring roads, I’ve been rerouting for years. When the feeling gets old and the question takes hold: “Am I siding with love or with fear?” So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now. Brave the trains and meet me across town. We’ll go out spinning stories, trying to pull the stars down. Was never known to be reckless or share the sordid histories of friends. Just the same couple stories that I like to tell at parties to sound like I’ve got an edge. But there’s a buzzing in the back of my brain now, like this conversation’s happened before. Ain’t it a shame to admit your favorite version of something you miss might not exist anymore? Did you take a couple pictures to prove that you were there? Or did you stick to that tired old narrative of “nothing ever happens here”?

Hailing from the post-industrial shores of Cleveland, OH, Maxwell Stern has been writing music and touring since the early 2000s.

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator

"you don't get to tell me oh it ain't so bad" -this line is empowering for me. hope to here more classic punk guitar riffs in the future as in "we drive forever like it's nothing" fartintheelevator
