lyrics
Take it from me, you’re a bleeder
Your heart is written on your sleeve
Compassion, it spills out from your speech
Take it from me, that you’re honest
And they believe you when you speak
And that’s a tough hurdle to leap
Take that from me
I know took that from you, he’s a liar
And he’s been dining with the rats
And sponsoring the cowards
I know he took that from you, but you’re alright
Hell, just look at what you’ve built
Light a fire to the guilt
The father, son and holy ghost
They don’t talk to me no more
We danced around like the Brat Sisters
But we don’t have to stay here anymore
So smoke another cigarette, watch it shine
We swore we’d quit by 25, but bad habits stain tonight
We’re just another cyanide Cinderella story
Sister, we’ll be fine
And when it finally crossed her mind
That she could leave this all behind
She split for the coast
To kill the ghost before his prime
And then it finally crossed her mind
That we could burn the city tonight
Cause we are arsonists.
Your heart is written on your sleeve
Compassion, it spills out from your speech
Take it from me, that you’re honest
And they believe you when you speak
And that’s a tough hurdle to leap
Take that from me
I know took that from you, he’s a liar
And he’s been dining with the rats
And sponsoring the cowards
I know he took that from you, but you’re alright
Hell, just look at what you’ve built
Light a fire to the guilt
The father, son and holy ghost
They don’t talk to me no more
We danced around like the Brat Sisters
But we don’t have to stay here anymore
So smoke another cigarette, watch it shine
We swore we’d quit by 25, but bad habits stain tonight
We’re just another cyanide Cinderella story
Sister, we’ll be fine
And when it finally crossed her mind
That she could leave this all behind
She split for the coast
To kill the ghost before his prime
And then it finally crossed her mind
That we could burn the city tonight
Cause we are arsonists.

Brave Faces Everyone
by Spanish Love Songssupported by 16 fans who also own “Cyanide Stories”
This is like emo Bruce Springsteen. Anthemic, but most importantly, channeling something of our collective experience so poetically real. I love that these angsty conventions can be used to rage (somewhat generally) against our screwed up society. This is rock and roll.

Some Of It Was True
by The Menzingerssupported by 14 fans who also own “Cyanide Stories”
A haunting album of heartache and loneliness. Lyrics speak of lost loves and lost souls with a few shoots of green poking through the hopelessness. Nostalgia and reminisce run throughout. Chock full of the riffs and melodies we have come to love and expect from The Menzingers.

The more I return, the more devastating it is to keep going in life. But staying alive and getting better is all we can do... gosh so many great songs here it's hard to pick one stand out!

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks.

YOU'RE NOT THERE
by Pretty MattyA new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy.

Another perfect release from contemporary emo powerhouse Run for Cover records.

at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn.
