out here in the snow
I can barely see my breath
if it weren't for tradition
would you follow me to Lethe?
under the streetlamp memories give way
to something new
will you come with me?
I promise you'll love it
[chorus]
flood out the walls and fall
smile and feel the frost upon your nose
my fingers freeze
but I need to stay out here tonight
what else am I going to do?
who else am I going to see?
[verse]
a stasis trap of life speaks to our youth
warm glow lights our shadows
strength through joy
you make the joy grow
and strength will keep you together
[bridge]
wind will whip around our faces
leave for now I think I'll see you soon
[chorus]

[Verse 1]
I’m not scared
I’m not aware
Of anything that’s been going wrong
It just seems like everything
Is changing somehow
It just seems like I can’t control
It feels like something’s slipping away
It’s something I can’t explain
But I can just feel a change
Everything’s fine
But then why
Do I feel like it’s making me cry
[Chorus]
I don’t want to do the wrong thing
But I’m scared of doing nothing
Oooh
I gotta do something
Cus how can I do nothing?
[Bridge?]
But maybe I just don’t know
I haven’t been myself
I know you’ve been able to tell
But what do I say to you?
I’ve got a lot on my mind
There’s no use in wasting my time
I feel like I’m barely hanging on
But maybe I should just let it go
[Chorus]
I don’t want to do the wrong thing
But I’m scared of doing nothing
Oooh
I gotta do something
Cus how can I do nothing?
[Oooooohs]
I see you standing next to me
But you were never there to start
I’m saved from the mundane
With the thoughts floating around my brain
You’re wasting time inside my head
So I talk to myself instead
It’s something I can’t explain
It feels like my mind’s in chains
Everything’s fine
But then why
Do I feel like it’s making me cry
[Chorus]
I don’t want to do the wrong thing
But I’m scared of doing nothing
Oooh
I gotta do something
Cus how can I do nothing?
From here

Dubious At Best recommends:
No Place, Like Home
by Standard Deviant
You can call them emo, but make know mistake, this isn't your Fall Out Boy clone. Would-be stalwarts of the Eugene scenes sharply produced debut is hot on hooks and a wonderful tambourine sound.
go to album
9 minutes of fuzzed-up pop songs from Boise veterans. They put the 'brevity as the highest standard' in popular music, and there's enough gravel in their 45 year old voices to hold it all together.
