Lyrics

We’re your house Laying on your bed You're taking off your blouse pretending we're not dead

But I can’t kiss you I got something to say

I think you already know You keep my mouth shut tight won’t let me go But this just isn’t right

This has to end or there’ll be hell to pay

——

Tearing us apart We took this way too far And now I gotta end it

It wasn’t right Let’s go down without a fight

I’m tired of pretending That I’m gonna be your happy ending

—-

On our first date It was a lighting strike But we saw too late that we were too alike

Nothings working but it feels safe

Catch you in a lie You act all annoyed Is there another guy Maybe I’m paranoid

If we’re not happy what else is can we say

——

Tearing us apart We took this way too far And now I gotta end it

It wasn’t right Let’s go down without a fight

I’m tired of pretending That I’m gonna be your happy ending

Not gonna be your happy ending Not gonna be your ever after

Great sounds. I especially enjoyed that the bridge / Solo part doesn't go the usual pop punk into your face way. Catchy as hell!

OK, I want this album playing in my truck over and over. You have an awesome vibe, great production. great songs. Love this!

@wobyen 1d

Thank you! you just made my day! 🙌

Damn, this starts so strong! Love those harmonies on the chorus, the whole thing is catchy as hell. I'm following, I love the vibes you're bringing! Wish I had this level of production, so full and confident.

@wobyen 3d

Thank you so much! I was feeling a lot of doubt today actually, and your comments help more than you know! <3

This rips! The riff sets such a mood, and everything delivers in the promise while taking it in fun new directions. Kinda sounds like if modest mouse tries to write a coheed and Cambria song, then let the cure take a whack at it. Awesome stuff!

@wobyen 5d

Dear lord…MM, Coheed AND the Cure? Are you trying to win the best compliment contest? Thank you!!! ❤️

Ooh. That intro is wild. Really cool with the panning. Love the style. When the instruments fill it out it's so satisfying. Strong voice! I couldn't wail like that without putting myself out of FAWM-ission. Some really cool lyrical constructions and clever ideas. That guitar solo was certainly one to be proud of. Fun and weird for sure. Some interesting tonality. Really interesting play between the boundaries between avant garde and in the pocket.

@wobyen 5d

Thank you so much!!!

@mdavisto 5d

Ooo, those chorus harmonies are fun. I also dig how you somehow have the kick nice and tight throughout - sidechain?

Edit: it's weird, but even though you sound nothing like them at all, and make music in a different genre ... still you remind me of The Housemartins.

@wobyen 5d

Thanks! I’m not sure about the kick, I guess I got lucky? I eq’d and really tried to sync the bass to the kick.

I will look up the Housemartins!
