All of a sudden I miss everyone I used to know
How it felt so rough,
We still keep in touch, but it’s not the same anymore.
So I called you up just to see how you’ve been,
You said you’d fallen in love, you couldn’t believe it,
But your parents still hate the way that you turned out.
I could use a little chaos at night,
I’ve got a half tank of gas, a paycheck at midnight.
We could get drunk on the roof,
Set off fireworks like we used to do.
I’ve got nothing better to do as far as your concerned.
Cause when it’s over, it’s over,
We can’t get it back,
We can’t change the past and
It’s expected, I’m not that upset,
Wish I had a way to hold on to what’s left of me.
(You’re resonating in the back of my brain)
It’s not like you know
(It’s not your fault)
I crumbled and buckled at the knees.
I walked home alone again,
Just talking to myself.
I broke down in a parking lot, I left you buried there.
Tonight I’ll get my head on straight,
I started pacing back and forth,
I can feel you hesitate, get up and walk away.
I started taking swings at anything,
Just needed something to hit me back.
The door understood my process
Beneath my shattered bones and broken glass.
I let you use me like a habit,
Now I need you like an addict.
I"ll get up when I am through,
I'll get up when I come out of this.
I cannot be your something,
I’m sick of being convenient

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
