1.
in general we're the summary of all our favorite memories typically worn proudly on our sleeves with all our hopes and dreams but not me
2.
everything your parents said was right but you were young and naïve and you didn't believe and now you're struggling to sleep at night if anything happened you said you'd be alright but now you're doubled over in stress as you scramble to change your return flight it's adorable how you think that you've got it all figured out while any naysaying memory is slowly lowered into the ground - but please don't take it too personally i'm just doing what i think would be best for my sanity and if that means this then i won't resist if that means this then i won't resist, i promise please just forget about me maybe it'll be better for the both of us once i'm entirely flushed from your memories and if that means me just set me free if that means me just let me be - and you'll look up to the sky and scream you were right - my conscious is killing me again burnt bridges and severed ends so i take it back to a time when i could trust my friends and i lose myself in the thought of making amends fables of remorse and forgiveness and a filling of the holes they left but reality gets to me and i fall back asleep cause i can't stand to see the world as it's meant to be when reality gets to me i fall back asleep cause the only place i feel safe now is somewhere deep inside my psyche - and you'll look up to the sky and scream you were right
3.
saw my life pass me by in record time won't get out can't escape so say goodbye - complacency will be the death of me i'll wait til the last second for all my life dreaming about what will or what should have been while convincing myself everything will be alright is this giving up or is this just getting old? accepting your losses and moving away is this giving up or is this just getting old who really wants to be remembered anyway?
4.
what more are we than a log of our mistakes? rushing to the hospital to pump out the pills you know you'll take but don't you worry, don't you cry this will all make sense in another life there'll be a moment when you realize life's not about getting what you want, it's about getting by and you cuddle these false comforts so you can rest at night so sleep tight rest well maybe tomorrow we'll evacuate you from your own hell sleep tight rest well tomorrow will be the day yeah, tomorrow will be the day - so wash my memories clean from when the phrase "i need help" meant nothing to me and when the memories come rushing back i'll scream
5.
it's all downhill from here so why try harder? your best has come and gone so why even bother? just sit back, relax and let nothingness swallow you whole there's no use in fighting the void is now your home can you feel it fading?

about

CR19

Christmas, Somewhere was formed over the internet in late 2013 with the vague intention to make something that almost sorta resembles math rock, or at least has those cool tappy guitars we all like. We're proud to say that almost two years later, we at least got close.

Inspired by general ennui and pretentious psuedo-intellectual observations on life (as math rock bands are wont to do) - this is truly us at our Very Best (by default).
