lyrics

Dear Laura,
God damn, it feels like it’s been so long
since I put your name to a face.
Could I even recognize you now?
Could I even recognize you?

Oh Laura,
Spent so much time in my room,
drawing up plans to escape.
You said you always wanted to see the ocean,
and that you’d find it someday.

And the last thing you did before you died
was drive 14 hours to the coast searching for the water.
And the last you said before you slipped away
was, “Look at that bright ocean blue.”

Dear Laura,
What a time to be alive, they say.
But all I see are all my friends
clutching at sleeves and struggling to breathe
We’re always struggling to breathe.

I remember every word you wrote about me
in the journal of your life when the doctors couldn’t save you.
You had so much faith in me and everything I believed,
but Laura, something inside of me has changed.
And I pray I haven’t let you down.

And the last thing you did before you died
was drive 14 hours to the coast searching for the water.
And the last thing I said before you slipped away
was, “God I hope I haven’t let you down.”

Would you even recognize me now?
Would you even recognize me now?
Would you even recognize me?

Dam the Night
by Badwater Sound

Rock 'n' roll for heavy hearts who still believe a better life is only a late-night drive away. Badwater Sound sing and play themselves near to death on this album, which you'll feel in your gut. All the Wine

Holy Shit
by Davey Dynamite and Friends

Hands down one of Davey's best works yet, "Holy Shit" hits you like a bus with ferocious, anthemic protest songs that hold just enough grace to capture your heart. All the Wine
go to album
Wind Instrument
by Kali Masi

Kali Masi (fka The Howl) make their LP with their darkly introspective "Wind Instrument." Touching on lost love and self-reflection, the band drives forceful yet touching blends of emo and punk rock. All the Wine
