I’m so tired of being lonesome, I’m so tired of being blue So tonight I’ll just lie here and remember I’m not going back to you. I guess I should have listened to what everybody said. I guess I should have listened, listened to my head. But there’s years of my life I can’t stand myself For you know what I say is true. Years of my life I still hate my self Girl I don’t know how I let you. And I know you still loved him, I could see it in your eyes. I could feel it when I kissed you, I could hear it in your sighs . Maybe someday we’ll meet Maybe I’ll forgive you. Maybe someday we’ll meet We could both be someone new. But there’s years of my life where I hate myself For you know what I say is true. Years of my life I can’t stand myself Girl I don’t know how I let you. Do one thing for me baby Please forget that you knew me. Shake it up, now darlin' And I’ll meet you at the jubilee. I guess I should have listened to what everybody said. I guess I should have listened to you.

I spent last year trying to find a way to cope When you left you told me not to lose hope But I found myself knee-deep in dope It's the closest thing to love I've found If everything in the world were fine She would be mine And last year's days would be filled with her cheer But she's not here I'm surprised that you picked up the phone Cause every other time you haven't been home I've just been a mess these days I'm sorry you had to see me this way If everything in the world were fine She would be mine And last year's days would be filled with her cheer But she's not here

Cigarette Queen I don't wanna be mean But I think you should get clean of me. Can't you see that I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you. I don't wanna be cruel But I think I need I need someone new And you do too. You do too. Cigarette Queen I don't wanna be mean But I think you should get clean of me. Can't you see that I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you. I don't wanna be cruel But I think I need I need someone new And you do too. You do too. Cigarette Queen I don't wanna be mean But I think you should get clean of me. Can't you see that I'm bad for you, not right for you. I don't wanna be cruel But I think I need I need someone new And you do too.

Such A Freak 02:04
I don't know how to act when I'm around you. You kicked my ass with that cheesy grin, your plastic shoes too. But you're so genuine, drinking your ghetto wine. I love that jacket, I have one just like it. You died your hair? I've never seen that. Your nose ring's so unique. Oh my god you're such a freak. You listen to pleasant music by people who dress like you. Wear old clothes that no one has, all your friends do too. But you're so genuine, drinking your ghetto wine I love that jacket, I have one just like it. You died your hair? I've never seen that. Your nose ring's so unique. Oh my god you're such a freak Oh my god you're such a freak.

Nicky Dizzy 03:13
Hiding drugs in the church parking lot Telling the girl upstate you miss her a lot Blowing smoke in a cemetery We don't like ice cream with cherries I'm sorry mom I didn't mean To make you cry With all my lies Sitting dazed in the shower Trying to make the best of every hour Getting nicky dizzy to fall asleep It's our first time, please don't be mean I'm sorry mom I didn't mean To make you cry With all my lies

Bad Night 02:41
I wish that all these people would Shut up for a minute and listen I think that we might be in hell Or at least hell's kitchen Trying to open up my mind, but all I see is assholes and lizards I'm trying to have a good time, but I can't stop thinking and thinking... We don't deserve any of this money that we found It's high time somebody burns this shithole to the ground This is the first time I've had any fun in weeks But I'd give anything for some sanity and peace

The Waltz 04:17
Last night I had a dream And things were not as they seem I spent the night looking for answers But got distracted by the pretty dancers You’re not where you belong So help me sing this song Cause I’ve been alone too long. Wanna know where we belong Where we belong. Late in the evening, I lost the time Deep in the churchyard, I lost my mind Choirs sang, but I couldn’t hear All I know is I wish you were here You’re not where you belong So help me sing this song Cause I’ve been alone too long I wanna know where we belong Where we belong. I'm fucked up on the side of the street, darling I know you see me I'm fucked up on the side of the street, stop the car, I know you see me I'm fucked up on the side of the street, darling, don't you see me? I'm fucked up on the side of the street, darling why won't you save me? Let me be

She Loves Me 04:25
I love the way she smiles It makes all these drives worthwhile When I’m with her I fly She really knows how to calm my mind. Cause all the time She says she loves me All the time I wish we weren’t so shy Cause love like this is nothing to hide And I want to tell the whole world This is the only girl I want to hold. Cause all the time She says she loves me All the time I don’t know if i should tell you Cause it might kill you But I have to tell you She lies All the time All the fucking time. Don't trust a thing she says They're all lies Just run away

Sing me a love song and I’ll sing you five It was really nice to meet you, but I’m just glad to be alive I could fall for you so easily, and we’d be happy too But if we’re being honest, that’s not what I came here to do I wonder how you’re feeling, wonder if I feel the same Don’t know if we can be close when you live so far away So we’ll keep a distance, sometimes we’ll lock eyes And spend a moment thinking what it would be like If you want to spend the night, just make yourself at home I need some chamomile to rest my weary bones Of course there’s a place for you to charge your phone Help yourself to everything I own.

Lucy 03:02
I’m happy that you’re real I’m happy you make me feel I hope to come home and see you I hope to come home and feel you, feel you woah-oh You’re what makes me feel alive Inside The feeling I chase you thrive I’m just trying to get high Tell me Lucy doesn’t need me, well I don’t need her I don’t need her when we’re together You always call me when I’m high I just hope I didn’t say goodbye

about

The Verge is a transitional space, a time in between times. It’s between what’s real and what’s imagined, before beginnings and after ends. This album is our attempt to channel the Verge, to let all the uncertainty, hope, regret, love, and confusion flow through our music. These ten songs detail time we spent in the Verge over the last year; the encounters we had, the things we learned, the things we lost. There’s heartache which insists on lingering, new friends becoming old friends, friendships fading away, good nights that you wish would never end, and bad ones that feel like forever. At the end of the journey, we cross beyond the threshold and leave the Verge behind, but everyone inevitably returns from time to time.
