Think I’m ready to let this go, go ahead you win
Think I’m ready to let this go if this means you say what you mean
Think I’m ready to let this go go ahead, tattoo it on your body. If you really have to
Do you have to? Do you have to
I’m getting tired. I’m getting tired. I’m getting tired of carrying this load
Emotional labor; it never ends.
Emotional labor; it never ends.
And I wish I could do the work. I wish I could do the work for you.
Sick of growing extra arms and legs to hold you up
Sick of growing extra eyes to let you see that you’re enough
Sick of growing everywhere just to get you to touch my body
Cause you ready have to. Do you have to? Do you have to
I’m getting tired. I’m getting tired. I’m getting tired of carrying this load
Emotional labor; it never ends
Emotional labor; it never ends
And I can’t do the work, I can’t do the work
I can’t take the trip
I can’t read the page
I can’t count the sidewalk blocks passing under
I can’t find the point of it all for you
I can’t find the point of it all for me
I wish I could do the work
I wish I could do the work
But my workload is strangling me
And I have lost my appetite with a full plate of food to eat
And my workload is strangling me
And I have lost my appetite with a full plate of food to eat

Fascist

You felt bad about yourself in high school
You read about hitler and thought that he just wasn’t as bad as everybody said
You thought ‘well hell well that must mean that I am not, not so bad’
But shit I’m sorry, I’m really fucking sorry but
You cannot say that
The truth is I think you’re a fascist
And no I don’t think we can fix this
I’m past the point of giving fucks and
No I don’t want to make up
You felt bad about yourself in college too
It broke your little heart how nobody laughed at all your shitty jokes
Cause dude they’re just not funny
You thought ‘well hell well that must mean that
Nobody here has a sense of humor’
But shit I’m sorry. I’m not fucking sorry but
You cannot say that
The truth is I think you’re a fascist
And no I don’t think we can fix this
I’m past the point of giving fucks and
No I don’t want to make up
The truth is I think you’re a fascist baby
And no I don’t think we can, I don’t think we can fix this
I’m past the point of giving fucks
And no I don’t want to make up
The truth is I think you’re a fascist
The truth is I think you’re a fascist
The truth is, the truth is, the truth is
The truth is I think you’re a fascist

I was a joke
Last time we met you were my friend
My only friend
We were on coke
You shared what you had
Said ‘sorry it’s pretty bad’
But I, I felt fine
What a life I’ve been leading
It’s easiest to fall back into old ways of being
It feels like running out of time again
It feels like coming home
I’ve been here before
I’m out every night
I’m cool and I’m nice to strangers I know
What a life I’ve been leading
It’s easiest to fall back into old ways of being
It feels like running out of time again
It feels like coming home
I’m still a joke
Laugh all you want
I’m still a joke
Laugh all you want
Laugh all you want
Laugh all you want

Quitter

Standing on the edge like I own the place
Staring down a new mirror with the same old face
I’ve been here. You’ve been here.
We both know how this stupid indie movie ends
I’ve been here. you’ve been here
We both know we’re not going to sundance
Why the fuck am I doing this to myself
Why the fuck am I incapable of asking for your help
Why do I even bother
I’m a quitter just like my father
Why do I even bother I’m just a quitter
I’ve made lists, I’ve made plans, I wring my hands
So give me productivity, give me brevity
Give me something, give me anything to get me talking like a man
I’ve been here, you’ve been here
Dragging our feet always caught in our last step
I’ve been here, You’ve been here
And all anyone can ever say is ‘girl get out of your head’
Why the fuck am I doing this to myself
Why the fuck am I incapable of asking for your help
Why do I even bother, I’m a quitter just like my father
Why do I even bother
I’m just a, I’m just a, I’m just a
Why do I even bother
Why do I even bother
Why do I even bother
I’m just a, I’m just a, I’m just a, I’m just a

The World

When the world tells you you’re not whole
When the world tells you you’re more trouble than you’re worth
When the world tells you ‘we don’t know what to do with you anymore”
When the world tells you “haha, you thought it’d be, you thought this part would be,
“You thought it’d be easy.”
Haha, haha
Haha, haha
Haha, haha, hahaha, hahaha
When the world won’t, when the world won’t shut up, shut up
When the world won’t, when the world won’t shut up, shut up
When you feel too young to be tall
And you remember years where you never noticed the clocks on the wall
When you feel too old to let this train keep taking you one stop more
When you want to scream
But instead you, instead you whisper
You whisper back at them

Very beautiful album, the songwriting and the sonics / guitar sounds. Great to play loud. 213 has gotten stuck in my head many times.

Love this album!! Inventive grungy post punk with excellent musicianship throughout. Consistently surprising with an underlying intelligence so the album improves with every listen. Also: great to hear trumpet used in rock!

South Philly band Grocer has all the sly disaffection of classic ’90s indie rock in their wonderfully unruly songs.
