dotyboy Wow! Another stunner from Coed Pageant! Not at all surprised, but blown away, nonetheless. When the drums kicked in on “Dear So and So,” it just floored me. I need this album right now in my life! Thanks, you two, for the lovely music you make!

Twenty years living in sin. Three trying to get born again and six months beneath the crushing weight of a lover. Getting free wasn't supposed to be easy but once you got through you were supposed to be free You've been locked in tight for as long as I've known you. In a motel in Arizona. You won't take their medicine because what you've got is more effective. Oh to be lost in California. You crack a window and a door slams somehow someone's saying goodnight to your baby now and its been getting darker everyday since I've known you. Now its midnight in Arizona.

Yours Truly 02:48
Let me be alone again I think I could feel better then and if dark thoughts start creeping in I'll find a more productive use for them and I'll hold on until the morning starts and love even the broken parts and if holding on gets too hard then I'll just let go. Dear So and So, I want you to know: I'm gonna be fine after a night out. I'm gonna be fine after blowing off steam. I'm gonna be fine. Yours truly, Let me be alone again I think I could feel better then and if dark thoughts start creeping in I'll find a more productive use for them and I'll hold on until the morning starts and love even the broken parts and if holding on gets too hard then I'll just let go. Dear So and So, I want you to know: I'm gonna be fine after fresh air. I'm gonna be fine after a few weeks off work. I'm gonna be fine. Yours truly, I'm gonna be fine after talking. I'm gonna be fine after medicine. I'm gonna be fine after they cure me. I'm gonna be fine don't worry. I'm gonna be fine if it kills me. I'm gonna be fine. Yours truly,

We are broken beyond what can be fixed. We are going nowhere and for some reason we're kinda proud of it. Paying cheap rent on time for a house way too close to the track. Getting bored and lonely over the deafening and incessant click clack click clack click clack We've got pretentious books and rare records but we watch too much TV I keep saying how we're doomed forever and we're both starting to believe me. But if we make out of here alive, I'm gonna start living right. If we make it out of this town alive, I'm gonna start living right. There is a world outside my window. I can tell that it exists. I see it moving, hear it laughing, but I want no part of it. So I stay inside my bedroom to make sure that I still feel like shit. While you're downstairs breaking glasses, falling asleep on the couch. Guaranteed mutual distruction. Both looking for something bigger. We are broken. We are broken. We are going nowhere. We are broken. We are broken. We are going nowhere. We are broken. We are broken. We are going nowhere. So let's get high and watch TV and when we make it out of here alive, that's when we'll start living right. If we make it out of this town alive, I'm gonna start living right. I'm gonna start living right. I'm gonna start living righ.

If I die in Sun Country make sure that they don't bury me here comes the darkness the sad part of my story I was young and Jesus felt like a friend who knew I had to screw up and would let me start again now he feels more like a friend who keeps showing up to our parties and we don't invite him in lately I've been feeling unqualified to talk about my old friends I've been wondering what there up to lately but the phone's not ringing I am at Sun Country just waiting I should be happy with my station but I'm too focused on complaining because the phone's not ringing the phone's not ringing Ideation's not intent no its just generally thinking about it I was daydreaming sins I'd never commit while everyone graduated without me so I'm staring silently in the void and I'm focusing on my breathing but I'm still getting annoyed I've been lost I've been found I've been found I've been lost now no one's looking for me anymore lately I've been worried that no one's looking for me anymore they all found love in shared apartments and forgot what they were searching for forgot why they were searching I am at Sun Country I am deeply lost in thought I should be content with what I've got but I'm not because the phone's not ringing the phone's not ringing the phone's not ringing...

Sleep it Off 02:45
when it's feeling so bad you know it won't get better when the storm rolls in and you know that it will stay dark forever when the one's you love feel like the one's you don't when the things that will make it better become bad habits that won't sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off when the music fades and you're left with quiet when the door is shut and locked and its just you inside it when the songs you love sound like one's you don't when the words that will bring you comfort form into choruses that won't sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off when it's a part of you you can't get beyond it the big black lonesome comes and you're perseverating on it When the one's who visit turn into one's who don't when the places that will take you tell you to turn around and go back home sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off sleep it off

in the shadows of tall buildings in Washington Square you could sit here forever as far as anyone cares drinking caffeine too late you'll never fall asleep not that that's a bad thing you feel like a pistol that's never been shot so potentially dangerous but you're probably not you're leaving the cafe but you're not going home and you're never in any big hurry you get so bent out of shape about love you get so bent out of shape about love you get so bent out of shape about nothing sometimes you get lonely and sometimes you don't you could call an old friend but you know that you won't and they won't call you either so nobody talks and for some reason that makes you happy then you feel bad again then you feel worse end up back where you started the idler's curse the shadows getting longer across Washington Square can stretch out forever as far as you care you get so bent out of shape about nothing you get so bent out of shape about nothing you get so bent out of shape about love you get so bent out of shape about love you get so bent out of shape about love you get so bent out of shape about nothing

With You 03:28
if I stay here long enough I'll become part of this place and when people think of Arizona they'll think of me if I stay here long enough I'll start to blend in with the scenery and when people drive through Arizona they'll look at me I'm a part of my surroundings blended with the place where they raised me I am my parent's love and my family's flaws in some kind of twisted harmony and so I gravitate towards the deepest corner of the room that the most people are in and keep trying to make everything darker and hoping that it will be bright again I see the fruit of all my burden unfinished paintings in a pile portraits of everyone I've ever convinced to love me getting distant while I try to make her smile so I just keep on painting in these moments before dusk I start wondering what will happen if I stay here long enough with you....

despite the worst in me and the worst in you the things that we're ashamed we do the struggle we put each other through I still believe your aim was true and hope you think that of me too despite the worst in you and the worst in me the thing's that we're afraid we'll be despite our steady strides towards misery I still think you did some good for me and hope you feel similarly I wish I may I wish I might get some decent sleep tonight lock the door turn out the light the phone's not gonna ring tonight the phone's not gonna ring tonight I wish I might I wish I may I wish that all bad feelings would go away but here we are extended stay the phone's not gonna ring today the phone's not gonna ring today despite the best in you and the best in me despite 30 days in Sun Country I'm leveled out but not happy the way that it is going to be because you're still you and I'm still me
