lyrics

Woke up, struggled to the bathroom.
The mirror feels twice as high as did before.
Down steps, I get another headache.
Nothing that a little bit of light medication...

...can fix. Gone in a glassful.
It's the only remedy that doesn't seem to argue back.

Just taking it slow, one day at a time.
Claiming everything that's mine.
You wanted to know, so I spilled my mind.
Told you all I could find.

These days, I feel a little lonely.
Talking back to voices that are waiting on me miles away.
And yet, it doesn't help the feeling, searching for another reason not to go outside...

...breathing in the air waves.
It's never that it's raining I just never get the nerve to go.

Just taking it slow, one day at a time. [Low note, high note riff]
Claiming everything that's mine.
You wanted to know, so I spilled my mind.
Told you all I could find.

It feels like people have it worse now.
I know that I'm screaming it out loud.
Who cares if the fiction falls through.
I would never lie to all of you

Teens Of Denial
by Car Seat Headrest

This is one of the greatest garage rock albums I've heard. It feels nostalgic while still feeling like something brand new. Clever lyrics, wholesome guitars, lots of angst. It'll stay in your head. Rory Mackenzie
