1.
I was asleep at the wheel, stumbled into something real. And I dreamt what I knew, it was never going to last with you I fell quietly so silently never can I not catch my breath. It was fine with me when you dined with me and you wouldn't let me get the check I couldn't eat at the meal I had some sort of stomach deal couldn't talk in the pauses the silence was critically lauded It's not like I sent you home that night without reason why but I went out and I still got high It was fine with me it was fine with you, I just couldn't see it through I saw you out at the bar, standing with another girl, drink in my hand and you knew that I wasn't out for you It's not like you said that we’re exclusive but still I used you for that I'm useless excuse me for rumoring changing my tune again we are just two friends collectively humoring
2.
So I have given toast To a heaven ghost will that spare my bones? from the fire that roams I'm trying to improve on the basis for which I choose ‘Cause it just don't sit right in my head it feels fine so my choice it is mine not my neighbor's foresight Can we disagree so we learn something? from the chaos comes proletarian guns
3.
Fake your smile and act like you mean it I'm too tired is a selfish reason Say you're sorry for the silent treatment Wave goodbye and act like you mean it Abandon what you have Your friends have forgotten All the good times that you had We want it back Take me back, I didn't mean when I said: “I don't love you like I did when we met” What's so bad about leaving feelings? You could push back and act like you mean it Fake your smile and act like you mean it Don't look back and act like you mean it
4.
Thought I spied on my sober Sunday Someone I knew in a foreign country We used to hold hands and run errands and run our fingers through waist bands We used to get lost through city blocks and lose ourselves together Stop myself before I speak up It's useless now, wouldn't believe my candor What is the chance, or circumstance to bring us back together We never broke up, I just sucked at telling you I was in love
5.
What gave him the right to say She wiped the tears from off his face On all those nihilistic days An apprehension to conversate When did talking become a chore Life flipping pages, you could've tore Or write a novel, to work towards Don't want to look back and ask for more Walking home she caught a glance While writing letters to new romance Looking through all nostalgic lense She could remember the happiness Find a box on her birthday A lovely candle and lettering In all her favorite shades of red The only thoughtful thing he did

about

American Sigh West Palm Beach, Florida

While the name might conjure a resignation of fate after a protracted battle against societal norms, American Sigh is Theo Matz’s humble West Palm Beach entry into a canon of forgotten pop craftsmanship. Modern in approach and leveled so instruments and vocals shine, there is an underlying nostalgia to its saccharine epidermis. – Abel Folgar, PureHoney ... more
