the seven hour trip is worth it
this time, no more waiting not on our terms
a quarter-century's worth of fear and disappointment
is a money-shot load carried alone, carried alone
go it alone...
pack your bags, you got better things to do
open hand, chop it off
- this time no more waiting, this time, no more hands outs
- this time, I take on more than I can swallow in one sitting
you’re calling me out but you’re not saying much
run your mouth but I’m not there
It's unfortunate that Marietta disbanded, but they couldn't have ended on a better note. As it Were is a reflection into a lot of youths' struggle with both aging and losing friends to time, and that it's okay to feel those things, even if for a little while. Halfrican Jones
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. charlesjr
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!
