lyrics

What’s up right now?
Did I trip somehow?
Don’t bet on me today
Think my brain’s half shot
What’s real, what’s not
It’s like Toth split my sense away

Cause there was Giles in a wizard cloak
And a great big pointy hat
I didn’t think when I woke up today
That I’d see that

My mom, she’s no fool
Tough and pretty cool
But lately her head’s been like one big landmine
And frankly, it bites
Cause Dawn’s got her spotlight
I wish I had someone in whom to confide

‘Bout my sister fading in and out
Like a lightbulb going bad
I didn’t think when I woke up today
That I’d see that

This beast, oh wow
Red dress, kapow
I might just be out of my depth

Cause she punched me straight across the room
Like a scarecrow made of rags
I didn’t think when I woke up today
That I’d see that
I didn’t think when I woke up today
That I’d see that

And I guess Dawn is the key
But that’s not all she is to me

Night Shift

supported by 7 fans who also own “No Place Like Home”

Nostalgia, sadness, longing. The whole album feels like autumn: the first crisp mornings, the smell in the air, driving home late on the highway with your window open. It's chilly, but you don't mind. The album encapsulates how you feel as a 20-something reflecting on your childhood, the people you knew, your hometown, longing for a feeling you won't have again. I could listen to this album on repeat forever. perhapsitsnate
