about
Originally released on OIB Records' Split Series Vol. 5
lyrics
Lifted scissors from the pharmacist
with the want to take them to my wrist
oh & if these evil thoughts persist
I could only hope I won't be missed
Traded escape route from viny vein
to passage on an Eastern train
& to ensure I won't be back again
burn every bridge i've ever lain
let all of Nashville curse my name
Goodbye Parthenon so long handsome
goodbye Frances goodbye Franklin
goodbye Henry goodbye Neil
goodbye Martin goodbye Mason
goodbye Dale
To passing gentlemen I asked the time
bought a magazine to ease my mind
& daydreamt of the life I'd find
when I'd wake to whistle steam & breaks
conductor's call end of the line
& to my hometown how I've loathed you
the sullied neighborhoods I've blown through
I've been down every avenue
I've memorized their names
they're blurs of shrubs & pick-up trucks
the faces all the same
Goodbye Joseph goodbye Clark
goodbye Gerald goodbye Marc
goodbye Emmett goodbye Reid
goodbye Travis goodbye Trevor
goodbye Taylor goodbye Keith
I will cut these foppish locks still
before this train arrives in Knoxville
I will push out of my mind
every desperate heart I've left behind
Goodbye Daniel goodbye Vaughn
goodbye Duncan goodbye Shawn
goodbye Lincoln goodbye Glen
goodbye Lealand goodbye Lyle
goodbye Hagan goodbye Kent
Goodbye Dennis goodbye Rowan
goodbye Rodney goodbye Owen
goodbye Russell goodbye Quinn
goodbye Gerald goodbye Clayton
goodbye Curtis goodbye Benjamin
Goodbye Miles goodbye Wesley
goodbye Thurman goodbye Jessie
goodbye Alfred goodbye Terry
goodbye Curtis goodbye Dennis
goodbye Hayden goodbye Berry
Goodbye Allen goodbye Andy
goodbye Austin goodbye Sandy
goodbye Calvin goodbye John
goodbye Matthew goodbye Michael
goodbye Nashville goodbye Parthenon

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.
