lyrics

Ignore history.
A charm school success story.
Top of the class in Slash & Burn Diplomacy. Setting phasers to stun is no fun. So says the syllabus for Blitzkrieg 101.

So Johnny get your gun.
You singed your wings, flew too close to the sun. Too bad you never learned to turn tail and run. That’s where we’ll come undone.

There's a thousand broken hearts on the home front, baby. That you’re too nearsighted to see. That’s why you’re falling off the charts on the home front, baby. The mathematics of complicity.

We are falling apart.

That’s as honest as I know how to be.

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
