Figure It Out

I wish I could just float away
Catch the breeze to find better days
I think I'm ready, I'm eastern bound
Drive straight to Tempe to see about
About a brand new life, maybe a fresh start
A brighter light out in the desert
Hoping a late night drive will help me clear my mind
I thought I'd figure it out by now
But I'm still winging it don't know how to say this
I never meant to be someone to let you down
I thought I'd figure it out by now
But I'm still winging it don't know how to say this
I never meant to be someone to let you down
I thought I'd figure shit out by now
They say wisdom it comes with age
But they never met a fool like me
Some old dogs they just never learn
I'm still living on my own terms
And my life it fits into some boxes
I thought by now I'd have some more shit
To show for myself but I'm still doing well
Cause I've been living like an avalanche
Yeah I'm falling faster further still
I can't keep up maybe I never will
Cause I've been living like an avalanche
Yeah I'm falling faster further still
I can't keep up maybe I never will

Headfirst
03:43
|

|
You know I hate the fact
That you could have me back in a heartbeat
Yeah we made a pact that we would hold on tight
But you left me hanging on to nothing
It's nothing new missing you
I brought my tools to try and fix you
Yeah I'm a fool for ever loving you
But here we go again
Headfirst to disaster
I'm falling faster than ever
You know I hate the fact
That you could have me back in a heartbeat
Yeah I loved your dad, the way he took me in
like the son he never had, with no hesitation
Headfirst to disaster
I'm falling faster, faster than ever
Headfirst to disaster, I'm starting to master
The change of the weather
Like a hurricane, a chance of rain
I'm ready for a thunderstorm, a downpour
Headfirst to disaster, I'm falling faster
Than the sky is collapsing
You never returned all the love that you took
It's hard letting go of the afterglow
You never returned like a library book
You checked out months ago, years ago
From a payphone, calling it off
Cause you don't have the guts
You've got no backbone
From a payphone, called to collect
All the love that you kept after the afterglow

I've never made much of a living
Despite living fast
I've never been in the best condition
I'm running out of gas
I've never been good at admitting
Mistakes in my past
I've never had a sense of direction
Until I met ya
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I met you on a summer day
And felt something I can't explain
You've always been just what I'm missin
But never ever knew
You've always earned just what you're given
Never handed to you
You'll always be my best decision
My one and only truth
You'll always be my heartbeat my rhythm
It's always been you
Well hey hey Catie Rae
We've lost some friends along the way
But we found love that's here to stay
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I swear there'll be a ring someday
But right now dreams don't really pay
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I missed our anniversary
But you still love me anyway
Well hey hey Catie Rae
You're sassier than shit today
But I still love you anyway
Yeah I still love you anyway

Positively Negative

Never again you told yourself last time
Mind over matter I don't matter you don't mind
Never again you said for the third time
I try to quit her, I'm not a quitter I'm just
Positively negative, it helps to know you have regrets
Cause you rearranged the spaces in my head
Is it too late to get away?
Cause it’s not too late for me.
I know I’m breaking down, but now I’m breaking out
I’m catching my breath now
It’s never too late to get away, so let’s get away
Always the same, it never changes anyway
You rearrange your brainwaves every day
Always the same, you can’t change it anyway
You overstayed your welcome, so get away
Positively negative, it helps to know you have regrets
Cause you rearranged the spaces in my head
One word answers and temper tantrums
I’ve pushed you off the edge
No more lessons or second chances
I’ve dragged us to the end

Westside
03:29
|

|
Your head fits right into my shoulder
My hands feel cold but yours feel colder
And you're burning up inside
I see the pain behind your eyes
I know my hands can't help from shaking
I can't stand thinking of him taking
The safety in your head
The comfort of your bed
We were too young to drink, too drunk to drive
Too young to feel these things inside
The westside's always pulling your burden straight into my current
She said it's too hard to comprehend
I just wanna feel safe again
The westside's always pulling, but you could never be a burden
It's alright, it's alright
Yeah we've gotten a bit older
We've learned to keep our composure
But we can't forget the nights
The blue skies or flashing lights
Your voice keeps ringing like a siren
I hear it louder still in silence
Yeah you're tough just like your love
And you've never given up
You hit me like a headrush, and hurt like a paper cut
And you're still in my head but just not in my heart
I mean it when I hope that you're ok
I hope you've made peace in your own way
And you're still in my head even though we've grown apart
We met way too young, grew up too fast
The love that we had could never last
But the westside's always pulling
Returning you into my current

Hold You Here
03:35
|
|||
|
Cause I know you've got a lot on your plate
And class after work lately
And I know you never catch any breaks
And I feel the same way
I'm not at my best now, been feeling stressed out
Obsessive compulsive, pulling my hair out in bunches
Just try to breathe slow, make both of your lungs full
I'll follow my heart, to be wherever you are
I could just hold you here forever
Hold you here, I'll never need more
I'll never need more
Cause I know we both have seen better days
But somehow we still made it
And I hope the sun continues to raise
Like the rent that we're paying
I'm not at my best now, been feeling stressed out
I'm late on the payment, one bill from ending up bankrupt
We'll lessen the distance stretched out in between us
I'll follow my heart to be wherever you are
I'm at my worst without you, full of doubt
A heavy shade of blue
I'm at my best with you, I never knew
What I was missing out
Cause you have me all the way

Come Back Down
03:29
|
|||
|
You're like gasoline, I need you but you'll burn me
If I'm not careful
You're like nicotine, I want you but you'll hurt me
If I'm not careful
So I try desperately, to get your taste out from my teeth
I miss you so
I miss you more than you'll ever know
I wish you could just come back down
Come back down
Once four now we're three
There's still a piece of you with me
My heart is half full
You left so suddenly
I can't find peace falling asleep
I'll never be whole
And I miss you like hell
But you're with me every step I can tell
Don't let it slip away and decay
Decay with me
You're never coming
Don't let it slip away and decay
Decay with me
Cause you're never coming down
You're never coming back
There's a whole lot of space between me and who I wanna be
So I'll meet you in the in between

College Kids
03:18
|

|
I left you in Los Angeles with the rich kids and the traffic
Your fake friends you can have them, cause I don't want it anymore
You college kids are clueless, your lack of major proves it
Communication's useless, cause I don't want it anymore
You talk talk talk but you don't ever listen
The aftershock gets better with the distance
You fought so hard trying to get away
Just to come right back to me
You watched me like a sunset, a glow that fades in your head
The one last kiss then I said, I can't handle anymore
I just hope you don't hate me, some things are meant for breaking
Into pieces that are worth saving, I can't handle anymore
I broke you so I can't fix you
I'm starting over it's all I can do
You said love will always be a choice
And I've been losing it just like my voice

Never Believe

Hello love, it's really been tough
How'd we ever make it out?
Hello love, I'll pick you back up
How're we gonna make it?
I feel so heavy, yeah I feel overrun
Wondering how you'll love me after all I've done
I swear I'm ready cause I don't wanna hurt anymore
I never believed in anything
Not even myself, heaven or hell
You've always been beside me
Through all of my tears all of these years
I never believed in anything until you
Hello love, it's never been easy
I'm as stubborn as they come
Hello love, whatever you need from me
I'm your only one
When you feel so heavy, when you feel overrun
I'll be by your side when you need someone
I swear I'm ready cause I don't wanna hurt anymore
In your brightest highs, in your darkest lows
I'll be by your side, wherever you go
Through thick and thin, you can count me in
I'll be by your side, until our light no longer glows

No Need For Novocaine
03:42
|

|
Let the bad times roll
I never needed ya anyway
So keep it away from me
Let the good times roll
They always come and they go in waves
I'm hoping for better days
Let the sun reach your soul
A little light does a lot of good
Just like they said it would
Been under the weather
But I'm feeling better
There's no need for novocaine
I'm making use of the pain
Try to forget you, if I can't forgive you
At least I can let you know I'm letting go
Let the bad times roll
I'm getting used to the headwind
I'm tougher than I've been before
I found self control
Always thought I was a head case
I just hadn't found my place yet
I don't have a dollar to my name
It's not so bad I can't complain
As long as I keep up with the rent
Then I'm ok
They say that struggle's relevant
I've seen the first hand evidence
As long as I hold on to my breath
It's not so bad

Not a fan of the new album but this Polaris album is just what I love about metalcore. Saw them live in CH last year and on stage they are amazing. If you're new to Polaris (doubt it) start here !

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!)

Letters To Our Former Selves
by Youth Fountain
supported by 7 fans who also own “Petaluma”
Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort.

Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements.

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
