New Light

So I’m gonna go
Move out of this cold, dead home
The walls that hold my misery cut straight to the bone
The weeds have all grown
And I’m feeling so alone
They wrap around those happy days
I can’t hear you laugh in this place anymore
I need to go
This house ain’t my home
Just a heavier headstone
No new light in my soul
There’s color in my eyes again
For the first time in a long time
But I’m scared that I might just let it go
‘Cause there’s an empty plot that bares my name
Sitting right next to your grave
And it calls me, but I need to go
I need to go
I need to grow
I’m tired of these old bones
I need a new place to call my own
Somewhere I feel not alone
I need to grow out of my fear of the unknown
‘Cause nothing good was ever safe
In spite of everything they’ll say
I found my hope...
Where she loves my name
Where the city’s racing
I'll find my way
(I’ll find it, they say)
There’s color in my eyes again
For the first time in a long time
But I’m scared that I might let it go
‘Cause there’s an empty plot that bares my name
Sitting right next to your grave
And it calls me, but I need to go
I need to go
So maybe I’ll move out there
That wind blows through my friends
And my love can take me there
To be happy in a new light
I know you’d have wanted me to have that, right?

Hang Over Me

Let me prove to you
I can be so alone around everyone else
Losing all my teeth, now watch me lose myself
I’ll be something else
If that’s what you need of me, I’ll be
Everything that I need feels so far away
The color’s fading out and I feel like I’ve lost my way
Walking into the grey, through the dullest of days
I’m still wasting away, maybe I‘ll drown when it rains
Clouds hang over me
Always over me
And I can isolate myself
Never vulnerable with someone else
Could bottle up and hide myself until the day I die
They’ll never know my hell

Say Nothing
03:37

Living life foot-in-mouth, hurt the ones you care about
Building things to burn them down
And feel the warmth on your face, stall the blood in your veins
You think you lost your way, so fade out
And you swear that you’ll change
But you can’t take it away, lost track of the days
Since you knew that they wanted you to stay
Keep out of the way in a place you can say you’re alone
And half the man you wanted to be
And at night, try to sleep
Close your eyes, grind your teeth
Count every sin as they steal your dreams
Do you know who you are?
You won’t ever get that far
Just stay down, stay quiet, say nothing to me
Just know, one day you’ll end up alone again
And you’ll swear that you’ll change
But you can’t take it away, lost track of the days
Since you knew that they wanted you to stay
Keep out of the way in a place you can say you’re alone
And half the man you wanted to be”
I don’t know when I fell so low
My mind takes me places where no one goes
There’s something in the way my heart gravitates
To the lies that I tell myself to guard it from change
So I lash out at everything good in my way
I wanna feel better, I feel stuck here most days
I just wanna be happy in the bed that I’ve made
I wanna be proud of myself
But the way I treat those around me on my worst of bad days
I’ll grow old alone if I never learn to change
I don’t know when I fell so low

Broken Things
04:14
|
|

I spend my days wasting away
Trapped inside my mind, I build my cage
There’s something in the way you say it’ll be okay
If only I could let it, everything would change
‘Cause my head and my heart want different things
If I let you in, would you just leave?
My head and my heart want different things
Pushing you away ‘cause I feel something
You told me, “Take a week, come home and be with me
I know, I love you, I just can’t watch you leave.”
We’re both broken things, you see me crumbling
And looking everywhere for some missing piece
‘Cause my head and my heart want different things
If I let you in, you won’t ever leave
But my head and my heart want different things
I won’t run this time, so just stay here with me
In my sleep, I’ve found a home
A place to rest my weary eyes and fall with you alone
Put broken things together, placing every piece
When I finally wear down, will you still be next to me?
I need to know what to believe
(My mind says, “go”)
I’ve been trying to find it
(“be all alone”)
A quiet place for me to breathe
(“in that place you know”)
Been living inside my own head
(“be safe alone”)
And falling apart at the seams
I need to know what to believe
In my sleep, I’ve found a home
A place to rest my weary eyes and fall with you alone
Put broken things together, placing every piece
When I finally wear down, will you still be next to me?
I need to know what to believe

Unraveling

My head’s a mess unlike it’s ever been
The days drag on - when I’m alone, they’re forever long
I wanna be the good man, the one I was meant to be
Maybe if I was a good man, maybe I’d be proud of me
I wanna put in the work, I wanna try my hardest
I wanna stay stable, I wanna get better
These chemicals contain me, keep me locked in my room
I’m wired to stay lazy, but I’m trying for you
I pull at my strings, unraveling good things
Throw them away - with nothing to lose, would I be safe?
I wanna put in the work, I wanna try my hardest
I wanna stay stable, I wanna get better
These chemicals contain me, keep me locked in my room
I’m wired to stay lazy, but I’m trying for you
Then something clicked
I’m okay, just a little sick, but it too will pass
There’s help out there, I just had to ask
I’m gonna be the good man you’ve always seen in me
I am who I’ve always been, worthy of love and you’re heaven-sent

Spin

Talked until the sun came up
Spinning around until there was only us
And I knew it at that time
That I would hate to have to say goodbye
At a truck stop, saw that smile
We called it ours as we could see for miles
And I could feel your eyes lock mine
Lit up under pink St. Louis skies
I spilled my guts on your friend’s couch
Took some time, but I got it all out
You sighed, you thought I hated you
Then closed our eyes and started to spin again
You tied a shirt up so the sun don’t shine
You laid in my arms and you hung on so tight
No matter where we sleep at night
I wind up back there every single time
We dropped them off and I took you home
Sleeping in the front seat while I drove
I saw you so peaceful then
Hurried back to hear your voice again
Hear your voice again
I asked if I could call you mine
You smiled and said, “Yeah, I think that’s just fine”
We laughed for seven hours home
And you fell asleep while we were on the phone
Now it’s only seven hours home
And I always end up sleeping on the phone

Hear Your Voice Again

“It’s so good to hear your voice again,” my mother said to me
“Almost twenty-five years and I was afraid you’d never let yourself be happy
But I always believed.”
You see, I’m still trying to prove to myself that I should be
And I’m not sure what I believe
“It’s so good to hear your voice again”
It’s been so long since I’ve felt anything
I’ve been hoping this med will soothe me
Just want to feel the things that they see
“You gotta believe”
You see, the wiring in my brain makes that hard for me
Is there any good left inside of me?
I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long
“It’s so good to hear your voice again”
But everything makes my head spin
I want to feel some sense of progress
I’ve come so far, I’m scared I’m stopping
I want to believe
That working on myself will make it better
‘Cause I’ve been trying, but it still seems far
Will it slip away?
Can this ever change?
I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long
Been tired now for so long
But learning how to lick my wounds
I’m finding strength to push on
And it’s so good, it’s so good
Been tired now for so long
As the clock pours salt from my wounds
I’m finding ways to push on
And it’s so good, it’s so…
I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil
