Dozen 03:47
You get so upset When I'm sleeping on the couch I picked up the bottle And then I passed out Another night spent Chewing on glass That's not what I meant When I told you To bury the past In back of your house What's it all for now Sometimes I'm alone Sometimes I feel down Take a breath Close your eyes Lay back down And keep the best of you hidden I broke every dish when I stumbled through the kitchen I was drinking a beer You were drowning in your liquor My hands got cold My arms got stiffer That's about the time I felt it leave You’re always haunting me Hearing your voice on repeat 'Come find me'

Your tattoos scream off your skin I love to taste celestial hymns Hear in my head I’ll write them down I’ll play them for you if you’re around I say that I’m ok But some days I don’t know Maybe I’m fucking crazy Maybe I’m better on my own I think we’ll be ok I think I’m learning to let go What if this was for always Hold me tight and don’t let go It took a long time for me to write this part of the song It took a long time to figure out what went wrong Life’s just too short now to not get along We don’t know when We might be gone I think we'll be ok

Slow down You’re too far ahead This means everything No right on red Giving in does not mean You wanted it Put the key in the lock I felt the pins click Found the note on the door god I feel sick I felt you in bed beside me I heard your chorus here Noticed your voice in the dark It was loud and clear So what Did you give up Caught up in the eddies Ripples blush Every time that you flood Don’t forget the storm Been jumping through hoops On my way up to find you Pins and needles When I’m falling behind you Every time that you Looked back in the rearview I lost a part of me I lost a part of you For the the first time I don’t see you at sun down I felt the absence of warmth No I felt nothing at all So save it for the water Hope that it floats Hope that it floats Hope that you let go Of good things Some day they drift back to you Thanks for ride I guess I could’ve walked but it’s better in the end Don’t pretend to tread I know you’ll sink in You’re frigid Currents so cold Pledge that from here on I swear that I will not swim in you

Softshell 03:04
What’s the point in growing? You’re the rust I’m corroding I’m falling to pieces And I can see it’s not what you wanted from me It’s Friday night And you’re alone But you won’t pick up your phone You look like heaven But you feel like hell Don’t close up the curtains Don’t put the book on the shelf And I can see it’s not what you wanted from me Let’s just cut the point Maybe I’m just missing the point Your greens and blues Remind me of clues You’re not the one You’ve got so much to lose I was trying to find you I think I’m done I got the answers To your problem I’m moving on I shed the cancer You were the problem Im moving on

Falling hard and falling fast Say too much I'm a fucking spaz I guess hindsight's 2020 Now that my mind is clear My eyes and ears Are getting bad When our minds fit like puzzle pieces Hard to handle your emotions when She texts you to come over then Then she pops and rolls it’s yeah Your caught up in the sheets again Could never handle my emotions when You text me to come over then The blood started flowing and We’re caught up in the sheets again Falling hard and falling fast Say too much I’m a fucking spaz I guess hindsight's 2020 Now that my mind is clear My eyes and ears Are getting bad When our minds fit like puzzle pieces One day you will roam Back home like the prodigal son And they say “slaughter the fattest calf, Smash the casket the boys come back” For what’s lost has now been found What was dead is all around

You’re spiraling You’re tumbling down You take a look around What is around you What is around you now Gravity You’re feet don’t touch the ground No one will save you The the water surround you Let water surround you drown Hows the ice water I just want relief I believe you are tired I can hear it when you breath Say you’ll never grow up Stuck in this grief Icicles melting You said Show me yours and I’ll show mine Everything changed Everything changed Everything changed Everything

Cigs Inside 02:56
Now that I Gave myself the mic Don’t know what to say I got bad thoughts And bad dreams They don’t go away I'm more black and white I never seemed to Like the color grey And I wrote a lot of sad songs Filled with words I shouldn’t say Can we pretend like that I never broke your heart And that we never saw this coming from the very simple start And I hope I could be forgiven I’m the captain of this ever sinking ship And I will steer it where you tell me to eternity I know we can be forgiven

Died in my sleep Didn't feel a thing But peace Went to a place Past outer space God stood before me And I said “hey God I got some questions” Like where is Ryan And Marq Where am I now Where is Jesus Most important where's my dog Hey God can you show me the secrets of the universe Sometimes life gives you what you needed I'm a nervous wreck on two feet but I'm still breathing It's been awhile since I felt in love It's been awhile since I felt calm Here I feel at home

about

The Front End Allentown, Pennsylvania

Born from the monotony of shopping carts and counting change at an Allentown, Pennsylvania grocery store, four coworkers turned friends gave way to the band now known as The Front End.

Though eclectic and loose, the young musicians create unique sounds clashing with deep, sometimes dark lyrics that will eat through your eardrums and leave you humming along.
