lyrics:
guess i maybe misunderstood
i mean i guess i maybe had misspoke.
we’re living in two different dialects
we’re speaking two different zip codes.
gold star, look me right in the eye
i mean gold star, see the shapes on the lightbox?
it’s sleepless car rides on anxious nights
it’s nothing after nothing.
thinking was he some gig you had to quit in 1999
thinking about the fireflies on your back porch in mid-july
thinking about if he keeps playing db cooper through her life
thinking about you
thinking about you
he’s just sleepwalking on weary feet
your headache,
your absentee
(don’t get lost in a metaphor, don’t get lost in a metaphor)
in a daydream.
(don’t get lost in a metaphor, don’t get lost in a metaphor)
tectonic as all you do, thinking about you.
thinking about you.
parachute backpacks and cash stacks,
abscond the plane.
no one was watching,
he’s lost in pacific rain.
run with the ransom.
head in a handgun.
tomorrow was all smoke and mirrors.
tomorrow was all smoke and mirrors.

I love math rock, and I adore Glass Beach’s cult-classic hits. Everything’ from your brand identity to your tirelessly catchy basslines, tasteful percussion, warm synths and sometimes-flowing-sometimes-engulfing vocals are components that make this band absolutely sublime. Your guys’s music will never leave me. Many of your original tracks have grown on me. Your stuff is inspiring, so to see you guys go this route is awesome!

When i think about it I’m thankful seeing this band grow up I hate osu but those few years ago it brought me to bedroom community and ever since then the peaceful yet chaotic emotions these peaces let on show how much work all of you put into making these songs and I think you’re all amazing for it thank you all keep up the beautiful songs
