Eager to Fail!

We had our hope
We had our past
We had a positive direction
We were burnt
And we were cynical
And craving a correction
No one likes the comedown
No one likes the sound
Of jaded self-aggrandization
Commentary that helps no one
"I told you so"
I'll tell you where to go!
"I told you so"
I know
"I told you so"
I'll tell you where to go!
"I told you so"
I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know!
We won't forgive
We won't forget
Until we do
And then we let our shadows linger on the wall
Refusing to reflect
No one likes the hard work
No one likes the burden
Of building something stronger, decent
Truth and justice don't come easy
"I told you so"
I'll tell you where to go!
"I told you so"
I know
"I told you so"
I'll tell you where to go!
"I told you so"
I know
We are
Eager to fail!
Destined to fail!
We're gonna condescend
To anyone that thought for a second
It was worth trying
And it still is
To disobey their commandment
Crack under the weight
A cynic scam of cheap snake-oil hate

Feels Like Defeat
03:12

All I do are things I hate to do
Everything feels like a floor that’s never clean
The snow keeps coming down and it's burying me
Everything these days feels like defeat
Nothing keeps me going but a heartbeat
You didn't want to talk to me, just wanted to complain
I know your type, you think you're right, you're driving me to say
That I don't want to talk to you, I don't care what you think
You're the type to pick a fight and you always cause a scene
Holy fucking shit, I'm completely fucking shot
I feel so completely lost, I hate everything I’ve got
Holy fucking shit, I'm completely fucking shot
I feel so completely lost, I hate everything I want
Holy fucking shit, I'm completely fucking shot
I feel so completely lost, I hate everything I’ve got
Holy fucking shit, I'm completely fucking shot
I feel so completely lost, I hate everything I want
All I do is spend all my money on a floor that’s never clean
I can't control the weather but the weather controls me
Everything I say feels like defeat
Nothing keeps me going but a heartbeat
All I do are things I hate to do
All I do are things I hate to do
All I do are things I hate to do
All I do are things I hate to do
All I do are things I hate to do
All I do are things I hate to do

Stop
02:40

Clashing voices on repeat
Tired wishes echoing
An honest plea
A stupid dream
Selfish smiles pay no mind
Brick wall prayers or picking fights
An honest try
A waste of time
I gotta stop stop stop
Waiting for you to grow
Because you know know know
You know as little as you want to know
Reinventing rules for fun
Consequences dragged in mud
It’s not a game
You never change
I gotta stop stop stop
Waiting for you to grow
Because you know know know
You know as little as you want to know
Staring at the sun
Locking horns with misconception
Staying home too long
One step forward and that’s it
Satisfied with shallow shifts
'Til your friends drag you back in
Bad crowds aren’t just for kids

The Only Plan
03:43
|

Use your phone to find a lifeline
Now you need to listen closely
There’s a job that we all need to pass the time
There’s a friend that needs a favor
While he’s going out of town
He knows you are just the person he can trust
There’s a weight that you’ve been carrying
A dream that you’ve been carrying
We know you’ve got the savvy but not the luck
It’s very metaphorical
That you should take the peach fuzz
In your hand and in her hair and now you’re stuck
You didn’t spill the coffee
But you still smell like the subway
Even with all of that small talk there’s disgust
You’re all hiding in the darkness
Don’t go camping when it’s raining
When you return to your home now something’s hushed
There are people living in your basement
Are you making up the ghosts that you have seen?
And in the end you’ll be laughing for no reason
And I know that you’ll be dreaming
That your city lets you sleep in a safe place
This time without deceiving
Keep on tapping with your head against the light switch
With your thoughts about what happened
From the basement where your plans all fell apart
The only plan was not to have one
There’s a weight that you’ve been carrying
There’s a dream that you’ve been carrying

Cold Wrecks Brooklyn, New York
Cold Wrecks deliver emotional catharsis with a delirious grin, with frantic songs about growing, coping, freaking out, and learning. The band is the result of far-too-long-lasting friendships, and their top priority is to just, like, make sure everyone is having a nice/safe/affirming/fun time, you know? ... more
