the clasp broke at the disco Mom I‘m sorry
& the older men who hit on Becky
nearly broke their necks on scattered pearls
& we searched the best we could
for two entire songs we knelt & felt along
the place where we had stood
but we only found 7 of Grandmother‘s pearls
& as we rode the bus home I thought surely
I‘d wake up tomorrow just to find
that I had dreamed up everything
there‘d still be pearls on a string
I wouldn‘t smell like smoke & I‘d still
have the cash that I had spent on drinks
oh I feel as scattered as Grandmother‘s pearls
Mom don‘t cry they‘re only pearls

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

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
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
