it's my hand that i swing back and forth
hope i don't hit you, don't say i didn't tell you
it's my throat, a lump that can't be swallowed
when will it dry out (and be)
no longer a nuisance but a part of me?
it's nice to have a quiet moment
it's nice to smile when the door's about the close
in front of the mirror, i can't change much so i
surround myself with higher people
it's my game, how can i lose a round
buried in the backyard
it's my game, how can i lose a round
fuck, turn off the lights again
cos i've lost it, lost it, lost it, lost this game
why open a wound that's almost been healed?
choose to smile as you walk off the stage and ya go..
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!!!!!
