When it gets so dark
that I can‘t see out
I think about my brother
& how I cannot leave him
& I know I‘ll see this through
drove around all night
slept in the back seat
woke up lost and clouded
walked around and thought about it
it was Sunday & the street was empty the sound of ringing bells
pulled me back again
I don‘t want you to hear those bells ringing for me
the Sunday street

as someone with a sort of shitty relationship with christmas, listening to advance base (particularly this album) as well as Owen's christmas specials have been my own little way of celebrating the season <3 tulpa toad
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
