Wish You Would

You better start seizing the moment
Cause life is slowly slipping thru your lips
Why do we wait till things fall apart
To start following our hearts
And how many times must you say
"I work a dead end job I hate"
Before the pain behind that notion of love lost starts sinking in
It's like you're always running on empty
Feeling tired but can't sleep
Dragging yourself thru the motions of the everyday
So how about you get into your car
I wish you would now
Take some roads that lead into the dark
I wish you would now
Spend some time out here in the country baby get away!
Sit on rocks and stare up at the stars
I wish you would now
Howlin' at moon until it starts
I wish you would now
To feel like everything is alright now yeah I wish you would
Yeah I wish you would
Yeah I wish you would!
And do just as no good girl should
No more burning up the midnight oil
Cause oh don't you know
Ya gotta take some time for yoo-hoo
And stop making yourself sick
Oh don't you give up
Oh baby get some rest

Hair Down To Your Toes

My, my hair it gro-oh-ohs way to fucking slow
I'm reaching out for shoulders, doubled over crawling in my skin
And my feet they betray me, I'm a train wreck on display
But if isolated I feel these days might just slip right through my hands
Understand we're just talking numbers
And it's a relative thing when I say "doing better"
Those shadows on the watchtower shun the ones who scream save me
I feel so weak
Search and you'll find me
Here in this bed feigning indifference as I wait for the end
Rueing missed chances, holdin' hands forever scratching through my skin
And those soft brown eyes you knew before are now bloodshot and wild, fucking glow in the dark
My heart it's reeling, losing feeling a long sleep setting in
So come son won't you sit here
My voice it fails me, I can barley whisper
Those shadows on the watchtower have all taken their leave
Gave me up for dead
You're all I have left
So won't you pinch me if I stop breathing
My life's on repeat and feel fucking freezing
Oh Don't you let this be my end
Your mother's asking all these questions
But try as I might I have no answers for them
Can't you see I'm doing all I can?
To be upbeat instead of bitter
An example of how keep your shit together
Chin up as you accept the punishment
Some stars burn brighter than the sun
Light up the night and then they're gone
With heavy hearts we cry out why must you leave so soon
Lay them to rest in the craters of the moon
Feeing ripe with words but can't speak
So I sit quiet, listening
but all i hear is do do dodo doo
Guess I'll take some time for me now
Try to pick myself up somehow
Got stuck in the eye oh won't you pull me through

Song Three (Crossroads)

Step back from the bonfire baby
With them strap shoes on your feet
Why don't we sit and talk on the rooftop
Stare up at the stars maybe smoke some weed
Empties they strewn the backyard
They glisten in the glow of a midwest moon
But I can hear them song birds calling out
"Hey kids the mornin', it's comin' soon!"
Oh no the lines we toe are gettin' farther from my reach
But I'll go on like nothing's wrong if you swear you'll never leave
Storm clouds rolling in I'm hangin' on the front porch with my friends
Toasting to a long life hoping that these good times never end
But I can see we're all tossin seeds in the hopes one will take hold
Far away from the reach of these dead-end that streets we found here at the crossroads
Please god feet don't fail me
Let my back be strong, hands steady
Fix my gaze and set off thru the cold
If I don't lose my way on these roads
Send you a letter from my new home
Listen to that wind it's howling
U-ah-uuuuuu u u
Calling out your name
Telling you to make a change yeah
But don't forget the sun it shines down
U-ah-uuuuuu u u
On hearts in need of sights unseen
Born in the corners of our wildest dreams so
Steady as you go
Take the reins honey grab hold
And leap with me into mystery
Yeah we'll lap it up as it unfolds...

Chew Through Washington, D.C.
Equal parts DMV. Particularly audible during full moons, neighbors describe it as a foxhunt yip mixed up with a sort of banshee squall.

This is not a Fugazi record.

Big and fuzzy and full of right angles and off-kilter hooks, there's a lot of '90s DC/Baltimore DIY tradition in this newer DC band.
go to album
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time.
go to album
Ragged and forceful, this D.C. indie rock "supergroup" takes aim at gentrification and the subsequent deadening of underground culture.
