All On Red 03:55
I’ll pitch a penny for your thoughts your brand new head in the same old game and the other ninety nine to figure out what’s going through mine this week’s awkward headline I’ve got a sick, sick feeling you’ll bet on me and lose so put your money where your mouth is your green goes well with my blues I’m playing tic tac toe in pen and at this rate I’m betting I’ll have my third X by the weekend at this rate I’m betting all on red every shot’s in the dark when you shoot blind and from the hip I couldn’t hit that target if you painted it right on your lips I’ve got a sick, sick feeling you’ll bet on me and lose so put you money where your mouth is your green goes so well with my blues you lie because you have to I lie because I can No matter what I choose in the end I always lose you lie because you have to I lie because I can oh it’s just what we do (shoot me in the dark, keep me on your hip, I’m an easy target, paint me on your lips)

look into my blood shot eyes recognize that they’re not mine I know I’m not who you miss burning at both ends of this open my mouth and I can’t speak you stare back it’s silencing my eyes are red I’m losing sleep are you ready to give up on me? I’m just not myself without a little help it doesn’t work without these lines could you just wipe my bloody nose away could we wipe this slate clean so where do I turn when I don’t want to be me anymore? lines begin to blur from what’s real or insecure not sure when this all began flashing lights are all I see I know now why your so sick of me I’m sick of me
3.
lately I’ve been feeling incomplete went to the train tracks down on Wharf St let the air clear out my thoughts I’ll let the water wash me clean she said I’ve been feeling miserable as of late I just need some time so I can shed this weight you’re so overbearing more than I can take don’t wanna think about you don’t wanna think about you the only one left to talk to is me and now I can see why you wanted to leave the only one left to talk to is me and I could tell you exactly when she stopped loving me (I’ll place my bets that you’d never remember me) and I know I left a piece of me in San Clemente lately I’ve been feeling less than me went to the train tracks down on Wharf St I watched the tide bring up the sea I’m gonna let it swallow me she said lately I’ve been wishing you could just be here every time I turn around you disappear it’s a quarter to 11 let’s make one thing clear don’t want to think about you don’t want to think about you but now it’s all that I do

if only you knew how I hold onto you uncertainty sinks in my heart then my eyes they turn for you these tears run down my face I’m begging to get away your voice calling out your voice crying out to me so tell me now do you know what it’s like to drown? would you even save me or are you just crying out and I know now if you were still here I’d drown can’t you see the truth past my dilated eyes and all the lies I say through gritted teeth and shallow breathes, heavy hearts and empty beds it’s all that’s left your voice crying out to me would my chest still cave in would It justify what I’ve been through would this floor fall away from me would I still float away next to you
5.
running away from ghost that follow miles away but I found my killing pace so run as far as you can and don’t you ever look back so take that knife in your hand and aim it straight at you wasting breath on what should stay dead I know best friends don’t exist when you’re all that’s left I hope you run that red, I’m hoping for a wreck and when these doors crash in your face regret sinks in. It’s too late you made your grave now lay in it locked and loaded aimed straight at you you can’t outrun the truth sirens ring in the air blood spilled onto the floor a knock on your front door your not coming home (I won’t leave the light on, they called I don’t want you home)

about

“It’s What We Do” is the culmination of energy and aggression. Stateside explores what it feels like to face the demons of addiction, loss of relationships and the challenges of identity in a way that feels universal. On this EP, the band showcase their ability to play heartfelt, melodic music with a hardcore edge that feels simultaneously nostalgic for a time when bands wore their hearts on their sleeves and a current moment where sound transcends genre or authenticity is key. “It’s What We Do”!
