California 02:09
Well I'm always stuck inside my head My good intentions they are dead So I try to find a new perspective To help me learn my lesson And I know that I'll be good If I just focus on the things I should And I can't wait to watch you run All the way to California While I stay right here on the East Coast 'Cuz it's got all the people I miss most And I know that I am bad When it comes to telling you goodbye They say the grass is sometimes greener I know your mouth is sometimes meaner Yeah I hate the shit I hear You articulate my fear And I know that I'll be fine If I could just learn to quiet my mind
2.
Inside 02:11
Will someone tell me where I gotta go? Whoa-oh These days I'm moving extra fucking slow Whoa-oh But I just want to stay on the inside You can't make me play on the outside Another wasted day in a lifetime That don't feel right If I come over tonight are you gonna feel the same? I'm starting to think that you just like the sound of my name Being whispered next to yours by the cool kids I am pretty sure I can't take this It'll be a chore to erase this Out of my head, again, again, whoa-oh 'Cuz I just want to stay on the inside You can't make me play on the outside Another wasted day in a lifetime That don't feel right If I come over tonight are you gonna feel the same? I'm starting to think that you just like the sound of my name Being whispered next to yours by the cool kids I am pretty sure I can't take this It'll be a chore to erase this Out of my head, again, again, again, again, again, whoa-oh

You're wearing out your welcome with all your old best friends And you're always unwelcome in the house that you grew up in Do you remember that August when you tried not to live? 'Cuz I recall the autumn when I gave all I had to give Had to give Did you write it all down Because you're sick of the sound? All that pressure to make it Will run you in the ground Your mother planted that flower to remind her what was dead And I recall the hour I regretted everything I said I don't waste my time for no one, and baby you soon will see That we're all hiding something that is buried underneath Underneath Did you write it all down Because you're scared of the sound? When the soul leaves the body Don't wanna be around Did you write it all down Because you're sick of the sound? All that pressure to make it Will run you in the ground
4.
When I'm watching you And my lungs beat different When the night is through It won't be so scripted And I can breathe easy And I can breathe easier then When I'm taking you And my heart's in pieces When you feel it true All that guilt releases And my blood flows easy And my blood flows easier then When I'm killing you And my brain's on fire It will be over soon When that light expires And I can dream easy And I can dream easier then And I can dream easy And I can dream easier then And I can breathe easy And my blood flows easier then If I could dream easy Then I can dream easier then

Think 03:18
When you're living it Do you think about me? When you get your kicks Do you think about me? When you throw your fits Do you blame it on me? When it makes you sick Do you blame it on me? You were never mine to begin A heart that's impossible to win You were never mine When you press your luck Do you think about me? When you're fucking up Do you think about me? When you're getting cut Do you blame it on me? When all your doors are shut Do you blame it on me? You were never mine to begin A heart that's impossible to win You were never mine
6.
Cut The Cord 04:37
Well you've got to cut the cord You're hurt by both sides of the sword You want to leave it all behind It's always burning up your mind Gave up way too soon You threw it all away, why? If you want to hear the truth Then you can listen while I play guitar in my room Well we're shooting for the moon But we can't even fill the room So you took the jewels and ran You're selling out the best you can, the best you can Gave up way too soon You threw it all away, why? If you want to hear the truth Then you can listen while I play guitar in my room Chew me up spit out the bones I know we'll always be alone And don't tell me I can't be pissed At opportunities we missed Gave up way too soon You threw it all away, why? If you want to hear the truth Then you can listen while I play guitar in my room
7.
Bad Blood 03:36
My restless bones, they've gotta move Cardinal directions, why you gotta make me choose? I want to know how it finally feels to really have nothing to lose So load the amps up in the van, boys we've got some shit to prove But don't you put all that weight on me No, not this time I've got to finally learn to see The light that burns inside of me It's not like I'm not trying When it's all said and done, will you like who you are Or play it out shitty drunk, lose your life in every bar? I want to die so damn young that it hurts to hear my name And then roll over in my grave because I caused you any pain But don't you put all that weight on me No, not this time I've got to finally learn to see The light that shines inside of me It's not like I'm not trying 'Cuz I've got bad blood Just look at the bad shit I've done And then we'll see how it goes
8.
Skeleton 03:51
In the middle of the night my nerves start jumping The way you look in this light gets my blood pumping again When I'm alone and my brain starts cooking The shape of your bones gets my eyes looking It's just a matter of time before we're overcome Gave into you once, you're under all my skin My skeleton I should have known not to let you in My skeleton My whole life I've been second guessing It never felt right to count my blessings When I'm afraid and my hands start shaking The promises that I've made, one by one I'm breaking It's just a matter of time before we're overcome Gave into you once, you're under all my skin My skeleton I should have known not to let you in My skeleton I thought you were the one, I hate to pretend My skeleton I should have known not to let you in My skeleton It's just a matter of time before we're overcome
9.
When I was young, rock and roll kept me alive We were dumb, but I knew we would survive I'm over it I'm fucking over it
10.
Guts 02:26
Why are my defenses never enough? Born with empty hearts we've gotta fill them up But I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go I don't wanna go home And all the places I don't wanna be I'm gonna leave them behind me I know I struggle trying to tell you all That I don't love a goddamned thing Why are my guts always getting crushed? We'll meet in the ground soon so what's the rush? But I don't wanna grow, I don't wanna grow I don't wanna grow, I don't wanna grow I don't wanna grow up And all the places I don't wanna be I'm gonna leave them behind me I know I struggle trying to tell you all That I don't love a goddamned thing
11.
Compass Rose 03:14
Who's gonna drive me home Where's my compass rose? I feel so lost I guess I should have known You'd only get so close Until you pay that cost When I was a younger man I had the perfect plan To run away But then I fucked around I tried to settle down You know I can't stay Who's gonna drive me home Where's my compass rose? I feel so lost Who's gonna drive me home Where's my compass rose? I feel so lost

about

Bishops Harrisonburg, Virginia

"Bishops' wall-of-sound approach to fuzz rock is easy to zone out to in the best of ways, bringing to mind early 90s acts like Bob Mould and Miracle Legion...Dream Easy revels in being in the thick of it, even as it's a cathartic release of anguish. For capturing an important moment in everyone's lives so thoroughly, Dream Easy is already one of my favorite albums of 2016." - Adobe and Teardrops ... more
