closed off an operation
i’m standing close enough to hear
i drop the pen from my nervous hand
let go way too soon. how soon is measured
how soon is measured in numbers
figures lie, i can't react without turning my eyes
are full of self-satisfaction, you don't know this
i'm not telling you anything you want to hear
systems hold us down, do you wanna hear this?
don't want it, makes me sick
how can i know that you're not gonna fuck me right back
when i turn around and walk away and leave this room
is colder than a thousand slurpees poured down my back
at home, i take off my clothes and drift to sleep
i don't wanna.... leave.... anymore
make it worth my time and try to dissect this
when i say i want, i want, i want
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!!!!!
