sometimes at night i watch the mice across the kitchen floor
i used to think that they came from the fireplace
but they come in under the pantry door
they get so close i could touch them all
on the nights i wait up for your call
the landlord asks if we've seen them
& she sets traps but i just spring them
the roommates say we should kill them all
but they stay up w/ me on nights you never call
& some nights you never call

This song was a comfort to me in the days/weeks/months after losing my cat Max, after 19 years together, in June 2024. The song isn't about the same situation, but the ache of loss and the bittersweet pang of remembrance running through this song absolutely resonated for me anyway. dyingtickles
Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
