Nines 02:52
Living on the porch maybe take a spin on down to a lake that’s full of ships for graves. I think we could love this town if no one’s ever around. Then we’ll ride home from the storms that bring summer’s deadly sound. Paint a picture on the table, they know I know you’ve found. In your back yard on the stones behind you house we’ll sit and wonder. In your back yard on the stones behind your house we’ll smoke another. You’re probably dead, listen anyways and now I’m gone but you’re probably dead listen anyways. Do you ever wish you were late? Everyone’s around.

Cinnamon 03:13
And I’ve been losing all my friends, but they won’t always wait. There had to be something. Like that time we killed those ants on the window with cinnamon. And I’m spread out gently on this plate oh yeah and every step I’ve taken here was just a step I had to fake. Picking dirt from my fingers and picking it up. There had to be something. There used to be such minimal, integral ingredients like cinnamon. But the back seat queen won’t give in and no one told her this, but honestly if I snapped that neck would you honestly complain? They worry. They won’t wait.

Apple Crates 05:21
I’ve been thinking about all that I saw last night. Your legs were wrapped, they were wrapped around me tight. It wasn’t that easy but believe me when I say that I’m not the only one who has been acting this way. I made this bed for you, and I don’t ever worry about the side you choose. It’s been a little while now I’m forgetting, you used to tell me that you do. I’ve been thinking about all that you said when morning came like cannons just sitting on our beds. You’re lying down still but my body weighs a ton and nothing else is different it’s the same as it was. I made this bed for you, and I don’t ever worry about the side you choose. I’m moving like I’m standing.

Lead The Way 03:42
Lead the way and I will fall away I will find my way back home. You called me out and threw me under.

The light you shed on my midnight, you’re my very own starving western satellite. And the life you live is pulling rank like the courage that your midwives faked. But they delivered you now it’s gone so live it down. Speak softer now the light hangs low in the street. I breathe you in like smoke burns from the window seat. In every way we need this, you were so don’t believe it. You know, but I know better. Your country lights up in soviets eyes like vodka and cream. And the life you live is pulling rank just like the courage that your midwives faked. But they delivered you now it’s gone so live it down. Speak softer now the light hangs low in the street. I breathe you in like smoke burns from the window seat. In every way we need this, you were so don’t believe it. You know, but I know better.
6.
You call my hotel and wonder if it’s too late to stop by. I heard that we weren’t supposed to be falling like icicles. Everyone around me feels sorry oh wait that’s just me for being here in this again. Hard to breathe with it tearing at the seams its getting colder every day I swear, but let’s starts a fire and get warm before the night is up. Come inside, I’ll show you what you’re looking for. Everyone around me feels sorry oh wait that’s just me for being here in this again. Don’t make me wait anymore, I’ve been here it seems way too long.

Bite down with teeth, I feel a reason to hug you in the dark. What did he say? And the fall brings a blind and sorrow freedom. In the lake what did he say? A twelve hour ride south from the border to a sunny bus and an embrace, a bus stop and an embrace from weeks at sea. The side view mirror is lonely passing sprinted from the passenger within me. Pressure point please, your Christmas ornament lips in the lake what did he say? And the fall brings a blind and sorrow freedom in the lake. What did he say? A Twelve hour ride south from the border to a sunny bus and an embrace, a bus stop and an embrace from weeks at sea. She fell from the backyard and into the hall where she painted the colors that I never saw. I found her burning.

I climbed there the top of the fair. One day after this rodeo, I won’t even ask her because I biked there, the top of the fair. I wasn’t moving but everything around me was moving.

This Is Iowa 04:06
She left like footsteps on the sidewalk on the dusty snow with weathered shoes. They’re all that’s left of us now frozen cold in the morning. They’re all that’s left of us now frozen cold in the morning dew. The late Monday sun is mistaken, its setting much too soon. I run like sap in the evening I want to leave this. I run like sap in the evening, I want to leave this afternoon. Every car I see reminds me. Every car I see reminds me. We missed your exit, we were driving. All I see around me is cutting free from me, and it’s not the way it has to be. Every car I see reminds me. Every car I see reminds me.
11.
I’m just waiting for something other than you to make me feel alright. I just wish that we could be more than what we are, because I’m tired. I’ve been trying to be still trying and I’ve been meaning to be. but it’s a problem that we have with everyone else here. Please don’t, I know it’s not much but it’s all I have to give and it’s gone in an instant. It’s not much but it’s all I have to give. It’s not much but it’s all I have to give. It’s not much but it’s all I have to give.

about

longitude Fredonia, New York

"The Last Anniversary is a full-length of sprightly, lengthy Midwest emo that should interest fans of this particular revival. Akin to Nines & Sixes-era Mock Orange, Polar Bear Club's demo, or Brooklyn locals the Marine Electric, the band combines a variety of vocal styles-gravelly, wavery, earnest-with deft, slightly noodly guitars."
