I WOKE UP IN A MESS. ISN’T THAT WHAT ALL THE DRINKS WERE FOR AFTER ALL? I WAS THROWING ROCKS AT YOUR WINDOW WHEN I SHOULD’VE FOUND A SHIP I COULD SINK ON. MY GOOD FRIEND SAYS IT’S A WASTE. I NEVER REALLY LIKED HIM ANYWAY. ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH THE REST OF US? I FEEL SO INCOMPLETE. HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU EXPECT ME TO RECOVER FROM THIS? I CAN FEEL THAT BIG WEIGHT COMING DOWN. THEY SAID I’M SO FULL OF SHIT BUT THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD HAS A CHIP ON ITS SHOULDER. IF THIS IS LIFE, I THINK I JUST WANT OUT. I’M STANDING OVER MY SINK, SHAKING LIKE A LEAF WITH THE DRAIN OVERFLOWING. I WAS TRYING HARD NOT TO GIVE IN TO THE OUTCOME OF TERRIBLE DECISIONS. I’VE GROWN SO TIRED OF THE MESS. I’LL NEVER DO A THING ABOUT IT ANYWAY. YEAH IS THIS WHAT YOU NEED? DOES THE BOREDOM MAKE YOU WEAK IN THE KNEES? 5/20/2011, THE DAY I SHOULD HAVE SHUT THE LID ON MY COFFIN. IT’S GONNA BE A LONG LONG LIFE. I’M THE LAST SECOND OF AN ENDLESS DAY. I’M THE WORST SCENE IN A TERRIBLE PLAY. I EXIST ON A DIFFERENT MAP. MY BEST ISN’T ALL THAT BAD. SO THIS IS LIFE. I’M GIVING UP. IT’S NOT FAIR. I THINK I JUST WANT OUT. FUCK IT. I KNOW I NEED TO GET OUT.

I WAS MORE THAN A HELPING HAND. WHEN YOU WERE CAUGHT IN THAT FIRE. I COULD HAVE LET YOU BURN RIGHT THEN, BUT I DIDN'T. YOU MADE A PROMISE THAT COVERED YOU FOR THE TIME BEING. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR US TO TEAR OUR WALLS DOWN. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR US TO PROCEED ON COMMON GROUND. MAYBE IT'S BETTER NOW. 3:30AM AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T EVEN CALLED. YOU WERE "LOST WITHOUT A PHONE", YOU SAID. YOU SAID YOU WERE "FUCKED UP" THEN. I WAS MORE THAN A HELPING HAND. DON'T GIVE ME MORE REASONS TO REMIND YOU AGAIN. IF 16 YEARS IS WHAT IT TAKES FOR ME TO CLEAR MY HEAD, THEN 16 YEARS IS WHAT IT TAKES FOR ME TO CLEAN MY BED SHEETS.

I’VE GOT SOME HABITS TO BREAK. WITH THE STRONG DESIRE TO BE HERE AND SOME HELP TO MAKE IT THROUGH. I GOT A HOLE IN MY THROAT FROM SCREAMING OUT TO THE WORLD. I GOT TO FIND SOME SELF CONTROL. WE HAD SOME FUCKED UP DAYS, BUT WE CAN HANDLE THE CHANGE IF WE REFUSE TO MOVE SLOW. I’VE MADE MY SHARE OF MISTAKES. I DON’T HAVE ANY TIME FOR REGRETS AND MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. THE DAY WE LET THEM WIN IS THE DAY WE QUIT. WE’LL GIVE THEM ALL WE GOT AND THEY’LL STEP ON IT. I CAN SEE A BIG CHANGE COMING. DID WE EVER HAVE A CHANCE? WAS IT CURSED FROM THE START?

I GOTTA GET MY SHIT TOGETHER. I GOTTA GIVE A SOLID EFFORT. I GOTTA CUT TIES UNTIL I FIGURE IT ALL OUT. I GOT A LITTLE TOO MEAN. I GOT A MOTHER WHO I HAVEN’T SEEN IN 61 DAYS AND SOME EXPLAINING TO DO. I’M MORE THAN ASHAMED OF WHAT I PUT THEM THROUGH. I’VE GOT A WAY OF ONLY CONCERNING MYSELF WITH THE SHIT THAT DON’T MATTER AT ALL. AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME, THEY SAY IT’S A PHASE, BUT THE DOCTOR WON’T RETURN MY CALLS. AND THERE’S A VOICE COMING IN OVER MY SHOULDER. IT’S BEEN TELLING ME TO JUST GIVE UP. I FUCK UP EVERY CHANCE I’M GIVEN. MY TEMPER DOESN’T HAVE A LIMIT. I NEVER SIT STILL UNTIL I FIGURE IT ALL OUT. I THINK I’VE HAD MY FILL. I DUMPED ALL THE LIQUOR AND SOLD EVERY SINGLE PILL. MY WRISTS HAVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD. I’M NEVER GONNA THINK ABOUT THE THINGS I SHOULD.

I COULD MAKE A KILLING SELLING MYSELF SHORT AND GIVING EVERYTHING I OWN. BUT WHAT'S THE USE? I ALREADY DO IT, BUT YOU KEEP LOOKING AT ME THE SAME WAY EVERY DAY. "NOTHING CHANGES, IT ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME." YOU SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT A LITTLE MORE CLICHE. YOU GOT A LOT OF NERVE LOOKING AT ME TODAY. MAYBE NEXT TIME I'M AROUND, WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT. LIKE HOW I'AM REALLY NOT DOING WELL; I'M JUST TREADING WATER. OR, HOW I'VE LOST A LOT OF SLEEP SEARCHING FOR BREVITY. I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS, I CAN'T JUST QUIT THIS. YOU KEEP LOOKING AT ME THE SAME WAY EVERY DAY. "YOUR HEAD'S SO FUCKING BIG". I CAN’T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY IT ANY BETTER.

I NEED SOMETHING TO USE TO COVER UP THESE WALLS. I CAN’T SUPPORT A FEELING WHEN THE FEELING’S GONE. I GLAZED OVER THE PICTURES LEFT INSIDE THIS ROOM. I RECALL EVERY FACE AND WHAT I KNEW OF THEM. IT’S HOW WE CHOOSE TO LIVE. IT’S BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY WE STARTED. I’M FINDING OUT YOU HAD ASSISTANCE WHEN I STILL HAD NOTHING AT ALL. AND THERE’S A HEAVY STEADY PULSE BEHIND THE ENGINE DECIDING WHAT’S BEEN REALLY GOING ON. I NEED A PLACE TO FALL ASLEEP AND CATCH MY BREATH. I’M SEARCHING EVERY CORNER BUT I CAN’T FIND REST. IS THIS HOW THEY ALL FEEL WHEN THERE’S NOWHERE TO TURN. I’VE GOT A COUPLE HOURS AND SOME PICTURES TO BURN. YOU’LL DIE ALONE, COVERED IN YOUR OWN SHIT. I HOPE YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR KIDS ESCAPE BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO START ROTTING OUT FROM YOUR BONES TO YOUR SKIN. AND WHEN YOU’RE DEAD AND GONE, WE’LL ALL LOOK BACK AND LAUGH AT THIS.

THE GRIP IS TIGHT, THE BARREL FEELS COLD. PRECISION’S NO LONGER IN QUESTION. THE ACTION’S SWIFT, DELIBERATE, AND PURE. THE WILL OF GOD CAN’T EVEN STOP IT. FOURTEEN PAGES, A TESTAMENT, A CURE. STAND DOWN. HOLD YOUR FIRE. IT’S NEVER SO OBVIOUS. TWO SIMPLE WORDS FROM THE TELEPHONE. THEY LOVE TO BATHE IN THE DRAMA. THEY SAID IT’S WRONG TO LEAVE US BEHIND. HE’LL BURN IN HELL WITH THE REST OF THEM. AS A SINNER, A LIAR, A THIEF. I BELIEVE THEY’LL GET OVER IT WITH SOME TIME, REST, AND VISITORS. I KNOW YOU’LL NEVER LET US HEAR A THING, BUT WE’LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND. A NERVOUS LAUGH WITH A CIGARETTE. WE WONDER IF WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS. CALLING UP WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, CAUSE WE’LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND. IF YOU COULD TEAR IT ALL DOWN, IT WOULD FEEL SO GOOD.

YOU HAD A LOT TO SAY THE NIGHT WE TRADED THE HOSPITAL FOR FRIENDS. YOU COULDN'T HOLD IT TOGETHER AT ALL. YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO GO OUT, BUT HINDSIGHT'S 20/20. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN OUR PRIVATE HOUSE AND SETTLED IN WATCHING TELEVISION. NOT DONE A THING. PEOPLE DON'T NEED OUR COMPANY. IF YOU HAD STAYED WHERE YOU WANTED TO STAY, YOU WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN SICK, AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT MEMORY OF FUCKING UP EVERY SINGLE WORD, LIKE WHEN YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO CHURCH IN 11 YEARS. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY. ALL OF OUR FRIENDS WILL FORGET THIS BY THE END OF THE DAY. SHE SAID "THE HOSPITAL CAN WAIT".

FIVE YEARS CAN FEEL SO LONG. HE SAID YOU HAD A THING FOR ME, I COULDA SWORE HE WAS LYING. ‘CAUSE I KNOW COLUMBUS IS CALLING. YOU BEST GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. I’D TRADE IT ALL JUST TO SHED MY SKIN. MY WHOLE WORLD IS A GREAT BIG MESS. I CAN’T HANDLE THE SITUATION. I WON’T LAUGH ANYMORE. YOU NEED TO DO SO MUCH MORE, BUT IT FEELS SO WRONG. I HAVE THINGS TO TELL YOU, BUT I’M TOO FAR GONE. HEAR ME WHEN I SAY I’LL GIVE YOU HOPE. FIVE YEARS CAN FEEL SO LONG. STOP TRYING, JUST FEEL SMALL. HE SAID YOU HAD A THING FOR ME, BUT HE’S ALWAYS JUST TALKING. STOP TALKING, JUST MOVE ON. CAUSE I KNOW COLUMBUS IS CALLING. STOP TRUSTING, DEAL WITH THE LOSS. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. STOP SEARCHING, MAKE PEACE WITH IT ALL.

I SPENT THE LAST YEAR GROWING UP SIDEWAYS. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ACT ANYMORE. I’M BETTER OFF IF I KEEP TO MYSELF WITH THE FLIES ON THE WALL AND THE RATS IN THE FLOORBOARDS. HE SAID THAT IT’S EASY IF YOU JUST DON’T CARE. IF IT WERE ANYBODY ELSE I WOULDN’T BE SO SCARED. THIS HOUSE IS A CURSE AND I WISH I COULD LIFT IT. FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD, I DON’T WANT TO BE AROUND THIS FALL. I WALK SLOW WITH MY HEAD STRAIGHT DOWN. THEY ALL TALK BUT I DON’T HEAR SOUND. I LASHED OUT WITH THE WORST INTENTIONS. WHAT WAS I DOING? WHAT WAS I THINKING? JANUARY WAS A FUCKED UP MONTH, BECAUSE THE WIND KILLED TREES AND IT BEAT UP THE SUN. IF I SURVIVE THROUGH THE SPRING I’LL BE PUSHING MY LUCK, AND MAYBE NEXT SUMMER I COULD JUST GROW UP. YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE. I ALREADY SPREAD THOSE LIES ABOUT YOU. I’M NOT ALL TOO PROUD OF MYSELF. I CAN’T EVEN SAY I WAS HONEST, BUT AT LEAST I CAN SAY I WAS THERE. IF I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOU, I’LL DO ANYTHING TO WAIT FOR YOU. I SEARCHED WITH EYES WIDE OPEN. YOU FOUND YOURSELF I FOUND HOME.

A terrific split cassette from two promising young indie bands, this is one part melody, one part fury.

TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk.

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.
