LYRICS
milemarker 27 says we’re on the way to heaven and i smile at the passenger seat. forty miles from chicago; there is snow on the windshield and you’re downtown dragging your feet. now i’m circling the block around union central station and there are bullets flying into the car. it’s the same as it’s always been. 200 miles from chicago: there is blood on the windshield and i’m reeling as you gather your things. i said i don’t know what to do anymore as if i knew what to do before. i can fuck up almost anything. i don’t think that i would exactly call it love, but it’s dripping down my consciousness as you’re slipping down my lungs. i want to build you a protest out of sticks and rocks i find in the backyard behind the house you grew up in. “in loving memory of all our nonconformity.” i want to sing you a signal that reaches only the ears of young disenfranchised straight white boys because that would feel normal and none of this does. save it for a rainy day and maybe then you’ll see. i am like the earth, old man, there’s no way around me. but even in my dreams i still don’t know the difference between what it is i want and what it is i need.. i wanna see you be brave. i wanna see you surviving. i wanna see both of us prospering and thriving separately. i want the catharsis of knowing something bad’s about to happen, but also knowing that i can’t do anything about it, because your new house just don’t shine quite like the one you grew up in used to. i wanna come and visit. i wanna see this through, but i never will because you’re just not what i need and i am just not what you want though you’re in everyone i meet and we’ll say fuck the banks but we’ll still use them every day. and when we fight amongst ourselves, the banks will say “okay, have you been spending all your capital on causes you deem just? you keep doing what you can and we’ll keep doing what we must.” so despite what you have learned and songs for which you’d take a bullet, you won’t find objective truth in a final rhyming couplet.
i want to shake the hand and wash the feet of whoever already disliked this a half hour after i put it up. in fact i'm gonna dislike it in solidarity
Someone has dedication!
What a class act
What a mad lad
Must be a disenfranchised straight white boy
Fuck. Stop harming yourself. Blame me for your problems and live a life where your half-cured depression is your inspired part.
every single song on this album is amazing because you don't sound like anyone else and you don't repeat the chorus 23 times it's really good i'm sorry i'm obsessed w u
wow thank u! that is rly nice to hear :-)
😮
Sad to see you're still underrated even after releasing a studio recorded album wonder how much that costs
It got 129k now so he is doing something
@@okno1849 success shouldent be measured in numbers like this. I think you are missing the point, most of the times musical projects with this much emotion pouring from the seems arent written for the purpose of blowing up and making the writer famous. its simply a way to let it out
I thought someone coped lincolns songs i didnt this was actually them
I was just introduced to this by a friend and I love it so much
“Slipping down my lungs” is a bizarre yet vividly poetic way of describing something. Makes me think of a situation that is slipping out of control and like the smells and memories associated with it are rapidly but insidiously filling your lungs. I like it.
Still love the fact, that Lincoln replys to his commenters.
Or not :/
OH NO
Oop
"I want the catharsis of knowing something bad's about to happen, but also knowing that I can't do about it."
This entire album is so underrated honestly.
The line of "straight white boys" killed me omg. amazing. I’m actually living for this.
oof same
The only true rebellious statement these days.
@@alexanderholzer7392 I saw this comment a couple months ago and it stuck with me idk why
@@busterb7482 Probably because it's true.
@@alexanderholzer7392 I think its cuz I don't fully understand yet but I think I'm getting there so it's left me thinking about it
[Verse 1]
Milemarker 27 says we're on the way to heaven
And i smile at the passenger seat
Forty miles from chicago;
There is snow on the windshield
And you're downtown dragging your feet
Now i'm circling the block around union central station
And there are bullets flying into the car
It's the same as it's always been
It's the same as it's always been
200 miles from chicago:
There is blood on the windshield
And i'm reeling as you gather your things
I said i don't know what to do anymore
As if i knew what to do before
I can fuck up almost anything
[Chorus]
I don't think that i would exactly call it love
But it's dripping down my consciousness
As you're slipping down my lungs
[Verse 2]
I want to build you a protest out of sticks and rocks
I find in the backyard behind the house you grew up in
“in loving memory of all our nonconformity.”
I want to sing you a signal that reaches only the ears
Of young disenfranchised straight white boys
Because that would feel normal
And none of this does
[Chorus]
I don't think that i would exactly call it love
But it's dripping down my consciousness
As you're slipping down my lungs
Save it for a rainy day and maybe then you'll see
I am like the earth, old man, there's no way around me
[Verse 3]
But even in my dreams
I still don't know the difference between
What it is i want and what it is i need...
I wanna see you be brave
I wanna see you surviving
I wanna see both of us
Prospering and thriving separately
I want the catharsis of knowing something bad's about to happen, but also knowing that i can't do anything about it, because your new house just don't shine quite
Like the one you grew up in used to
I wanna come and visit
I wanna see this through, but
I never will because you're just not what i need
And i am just not what you want though
You're in everyone i meet and
We'll say fuck the banks but we'll still use them every day
And when we fight amongst ourselves
The banks will say “okay
Have you been spending all your capital on causes you deem just? you keep doing what you can and we'll keep doing what we must.”
So despite what you have learned
And songs for which you'd take a bullet
You won't find objective truth
In a final rhyming couplet
A couplet, a couplet, a couplet...
@aya ! i knew for a fact this reply was gonna be thank you
Are you kidding me!? Why aren't you huge yet!? This song is gold :D
BECAUSE THAT WILL FEEL NORMAL AND NONE OF THIS DOES
I first found your music by listening to Saint Bernard and after that looking into more of your songs. Which have made such a big impact on me, I found them genuine and heartfelt and all the emotions I feel. And through everything I experienced in 2018 with everyday getting worse for me, I found your music so comforting. I related to them on a very personal level even though that sounds a bit like something a suck up would say. I just wanted to communicate, that your music makes me happy and helps me get up every morning. Thank you for making my 2018 and I hope to hear more in 2019.
I found him in exactly the same way! 2018 has been rough for me too, and I hope your 2019 is better!!
the awkward moments where i suddenly panic and turn this on i feel somewhat more at peace, it's surprisingly relaxing and i can't quite pinpoint why, but either way, i like it a lot.
something about the lyric
i want the catharsis of knowing something bads about to happen
sticks with me
5 years later, this is still amazing :)
“I want the catharsis of knowing something bads about to happen” god I fucking love that.
man, i always find myself coming back to lincoln, and i love this song especially. the part at 2:34 where it says "i want the catharsis of knowing" is so fucking good
this album is one of my favourite of all times, yet it's so underrated
you are one of my top favorite artists no joke im so happy you came out with your own music I wish we were friends
whycantwebefriends.flac
I doubt you read comments anymore, but this song saved my life. I was seconds away from ending it all but this song kept me here. So thank you.
For real, wow, i wish u the best
i hope you're doing better, depression hits hard, stay strong. i love you
back here again after saint bernard 2........ this has always been the song that i feel like encapsulates me as a person best. i'm excited to see what comes next
“And I’m just not what you want, though you’re in everyone I meet.” Wish. Felt that.
If you make new music, I'm gonna do a backflip :,O
this is a bop
saint bernard 2 is stellar
ight.
where's that backflip.
Best song to be outside on a cool winter night
Please keep making music, man. Your music is a breath of fresh air from what I'm usually surrounded by. I can literally write entire stories to your songs and it's hard to find something that inspires me so much. Keep it up 👍👍
theres something about this song that just melts my brain
I get so stuck on this song. Don't ever go away. This music helps me in indescribable ways. If you tour please, please make your way to Sacramento, California. It would be amazing to see you live ❤🫶
I WANT THE CATHARSIS OF KNOWING SOMETHING BAD'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN
BUT ALSO KNOWING THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
such a good song- no album I hope more people can appreciate this in the future :]
All of his songs lyrics are so good like what the heck?
It's because it's a trap-
Pun Queen wdym???
The definition of a banger: this song.
holy sHit i just discovered more music of a god. i really like Saint Bernard and i love this too. where the hell’s your fame?
This whole EP is fantastic but I think this is my fave. Found saint Bernard a while ago but it took me a while to get to the whole EP. Really good stuff.
this is criminally underrated
trueee
This has been in my watch later for like 2 years, idk how it ended up there but I'm glad it did
I love all your songs even if you only have a few, and I hope you come out with more :0
wanted to say thank you for this. back in 2018, this got me through an abusive relationship. made me feel safe .
This is unlike any song I have ever heard, honestly. If I had to choose a genre to define it, I don't think I could. That's what I like about it, keep it up
Well name it after the song then lol.
@@daytronplays7712 Ah yes, my favorite genre. Banks.
i really hope you make more music, this is one of my favorite albums
This song deserves more love! And your other songs, this song has emotion, and I enjoy listening to it! Good job for making such amazing music!
I love your music. I just listened to like three of your songs and you're one of the people who were able to pull me in with more than one song. Your songs are absolutely amazing.
im not sure if you still read comments but god fucking bless you for making this ep, it really just sorta (really) helped me cope before and after i tried to end it all 2 years ago. i still listen to your songs very often until this day. youre awesome man hope youre good wherever you are
I came across this song about a year ago and I've been obsessed with all your music ever sence.
6 years later and A constant state of Ohio is still the best EP I have ever heard. The funny thing is that my favorite song off the EP constantly changes as I grow up. Right now it is (yet again) Banks. Amazing!
Bloody amazing!!! Touching and deeply sentimental, I just adore your songs!
You're one of a kind and seriously one of biggest inspirations at this point.
You matter more than you could ever imagine and you're seriously so talented, thank you for being you and being rad.
i cant believe i just now found these? i hope you make more in the future, this is really good.
I love this entire album so much, and Banks is my current favorite. This guy is so underrated and it's so dumb that such a talented person has such a small following!!
This song is just underrated
Every one loves St Bernard cuz it’s edgy but like seriously your other songs are amazing
AND edgy. they gotta check this out !!!!
This damn song, it makes me cry everytime, I love it thank you
Why have I only heard of u now-
Man i found you on Spotify about a year ago and you've quickly become one of my favorite artists of all time. Every single song is a masterpiece. I hope you're well
My favorite song on the album and probably ever. Please keep doing more.
i love this song so much... i find myself just keep coming back to it
this whole album is incredible, but there’s something about this song that just melts me. its the kind of song i listen to when i want to wallow in my feelings but in like a good way. can’t wait for the new album!
As an Ohioan myself I have to say I love the name of this EP.
its been years and this is still my favorite song
this song means a lot to me, it reminds me a lot of my life and my dad. he does in a car accident but your music is oddly comforting it’s like saying that nothing is ok but that we have to live with it and make it ok after a while .. just that we are all human and no one is perfect ever
Wow. The way your music sounds seems so unique. It makes me want more of this style.
ive had this stuck in my head for literally 3 days
aHhHh same
i've been listening to this song on repeat it's just that good, it's the kind of song you feel like you can breathe in, i've gotten way too attached to it
i am still so obsessed w this song
So happy I found this
Someone on tiktok recommended this singer/band and im so happy to have found this because it sounds amazing I love it.
its been years since this song was studio recorded n shit and im still obsessed w it, its so catchy dude
Your my favorite music artist, your music is oddly calming when I feel panicky.
You need more subscribers, dude. You are an awe-strucking artist and your music speaks to me and you brought back that classic 90's rock style that makes me glad that my parents raised me on rock, you are amazing.
I can’t stop listening to this. There’s so much talent in this song alone
it’s been a year and i’m still in love with this song
wow, this is really, really good. like damn man.
Oh god, another song i fell in love with, brb gotta put it on loop
