Lyrics:

I got sick of the silence. I got tired of the dark. I was sleeping in late. I was wasting away. I was dying in small parts. So, I lit up a smoke and took a walk through the park. The dead leaves scrape concrete making it sound like you're next to me, arm in arm. I was putting holes in the drywall. I was hoping you'd save me from me. I'm gonna go see my mother. Take the LIRR. Walk the cold Brooklyn streets towards Astoria, Queens out to West Babylon. I walked up the driveway. Saw my Daddy's old car. He's been gone for months but we covered it up. It still sits in the yard. I spent my whole life saying I'd never need no one but I think I might need you. I think I might need you. We sat in the kitchen. My mother's a soldier of god and so paintings of Jesus and statues of saints still adorn all the halls but we'll never go hungry thanks to the infant of Prague and St. Joe keeps us safe cause we buried him deep in a hole in the backyard. I know things ain't been good since dad died. I know you don't need this from me. But mama, I'm breaking. There's no light in the dark. Dianne left this week. She said, "Son, look at me. I know we ain't been this low before and I'm sorry Aaron. I know this year has been hard. If you're hurt then I'm hurt. I won't make it worse. I'm always in your corner." Something's wrong. I been waiting here too long. She said, "I knew something was wrong. You ain't called here in too long. Take the car and run. Take the car and run. Take the car and run."

I can't listen to this song album without tearing up. It is just super well written, and the lyrics just hit me right in the feels.

What genre is this? iTunes says alternative, but I'm not sure.

Im glad he has an outlet to express his age and standing as an adult male more than he could in TWY

Favorite song so far. And this is my third song into the album so far.

after listening to what is undoubtedly my AOTY on constant repeat since 3 when the stream started, i think this is my favorite song on the album. Everything about this album is perfect, but this one for me just hits home so much harder (plus mentioning towns near me is an A+)

The constant waver in his voice brings one out in mine as I sing along.

anything Soupy touches is gold and after listening to this, it feels like a punch to the gut. This album will be incredible. I am excited to hear that Mountain Goats bonus track.

This was probably my least favorite when I heard it on the AbsolutePunk podcast but after giving it a few listens it is probably my favorite so far. The first part where his mom talks to Aaron is so touching.

I lay in my bed and listen to this for the first time. The lyrics, his voice, the music... It paralyzes me. My body tingles, I get goosebumps, I'm heart is racing, my muscles aching. My brain is sparking up, my soul is soaking it up, and I feel at one. This music makes me feel things only drugs could make me feel. This music is my drug.Dan Campbell you are amazing and I'm so excited for this record.

If this isn't the closer to the album there better be a helluva ending.
