Love Grant the grace To float into this fearful space The foresight to see that bliss can be And the patience to let it happen

Fierce Grace 03:08
It's just the way that you talk to me It's just the way that you talk You make yourself so small And you point your finger up like It's my fault that I'm Just the way that you are It's just something about your approach You put me up so high You hold yourself down so low It's just the way that you I could try to be everything to anyone All at once I could put myself away and posture my front And I could try to separate myself Or I could try to unify And I could try to understand what you need Or just be what I like It's just the way that you always try to make yourself what you think I like And you would only start an argument to let me be right You know that I'm the only catch that never gets caught And you point your finger up because you know that it's my fault You look so confused why I'd ever talk to you at all And now I'm so unamused why'd I ever talk to you at all It's just the way that it always starts I'm seeking comfort at the end of fall And you make yourself so small And you point your finger up like it's my fault that I'm tall

I always start to finish just before you start to come up I'm at the top of the staircase as your elevator catches up If you're ever looking up and see that I'm falling down Please don't judge me for the noise just remember the sound If you knew what's in my head you probably wouldn't be so impressed We were downstairs I was up in my head Convincing myself that we weren't sewn from the same thread I was wrong the shell was all misaligned So I back-stepped the seam and told myself I'd be fine Cause love is cool Love is fine Love is wondering if I have the time If you're ever looking up and see that I'm falling down Please don't judge me for the noise just remember the sound If you knew what's in my head you probably wouldn't be so impressed If you're ever looking up and see that I'm falling down Please don't judge me for the noise just remember the sound If you knew what's in my head you probably wouldn't be so impressed We were downstairs I was up in my head Convincing myself that we weren't sewn from the same thread I was wrong the shell was all misaligned So I back-stepped the seam and told myself I'd be fine But I was wrong, and it took so long (All The Real Girls) I saw you laugh until you couldn't breathe Lost my bike in a pile of leaves Turned away from a kissing scene This is everything to me Laid in the grass with the girls we loved They always tried so hard to fix us Steal more springs to sleep on the trampoline Let's put some tension between us now
4.
I can't get away from the common sound I'm never gonna get the cool kids to get down You know why And it's fine I can't touch the capo to any frets without getting too upset The clever ways you used to tune my strings Makes me miss the clever way that your voice sings And I need to let you go I'm just waiting for your next surprise and trying to stay fine You made me laugh until I couldn't breathe I'm just sorry I had to leave Anymore you're just the only thing that gets me so upset You're the only one from home that I ever wanted to impress Anymore I don't know what to say when it comes To you, and Mike, and Dave I won't forget the Youth we played I'm just keeping myself sane I can't be your crutch anymore And I just can't get why I just can't catch you (Not Strong) I know now you're just weak But I guess writing this kind of makes me less There was a time when I tried too hard When I came to low places that you choose to stay There came a time to change When the ends of my days all felt the same But I'll just shut my mouth and forget this

Safehull 04:48
It's been so long since I tried love Running scared so long I've misplaced what from Maybe you Maybe from you If I ever met the girl in my head Maybe I'd lose Bliss to come, come to be Love is everyone but me Lust to fly, but fear to leave I spend all my nights just me And it's been so long since I tried love Running scared so long I've misplaced what from Maybe you Maybe from you Bliss to come, come to me Bliss to come, please come to me I see us there, a lonely pair I'm tired of these crowds of three And it's been so long since I tried love Running scared so long I've misplaced what from And they say that I've come a long way Some days I can find it hard to believe And I can shower you with compliments And find it all hard to receive I never gave anybody as much As the girl in my head that I've been building up I didn't make her too great to make no one enough I just gave her some grace and I wait And it's been so long since I tried love Running scared so long I've misplaced what from I never gave anybody as much As the girl in my head that I've been building up I didn't make her too great to make no one enough I just gave her some grace that I lack so that I could be love

Preface 01:24
I remember the drugs I always wanted to feel love and now it's all that I'm scared of Now I just want to forget
7.
Head speaks and I just move my feet I don't want to keep coming back I just want to stay
8.
White Mark 04:08
So let's stick to the truth It's just me and you I've done so many things so wrong How could I judge what you do There must be something about my ways that says go love someone else Cause I could use some help trying to find love that keeps its hands to itself I could try to suppress or control But I just won't let you go Cause you expect too much and up short you come You expect things done that no one does You expect you to not be you and us to not be one I'm trying not to lean on this disease I want to be all the way and unafraid to be So let's stick to the truth It's just me and you I've done so many things so wrong How could I judge what you do There must be something about my ways that says go love someone else Cause I could use some help trying to find love that keeps its hands to itself I want to be all the way and unafraid to be I want to be all the way and unafraid to be I want to be all the way and unafraid I'll be all the way and unafraid I'll be all the way and unafraid to be

about

Rob Rich remembers the day he wrote “Back Step,” the towering single off Rich People's sophomore release 'Grace Session.' While the rest of his band smolders behind him, his vocals soar before leveling off in exhaustion. It’s an allusion to where the song took shape: an overnight shift at a Philly shipyard. Frustration with the back-breaking, monotonous work and the laziness of his coworkers needed an antidote. 'Grace Session' is full of these moments: instrumentals swell to new heights before they’re blunted, and lyrics double back on themselves to underscore patient self-reflection.

With a band name like Rich People, a listener could assume style would overtake substance. Here, both are present in full force, John Naclerio’s production is almost translucent. It’s loose on “119” and “Safehull,” two tracks that toe a thin line between explosion and restraint, with nimble guitars arcing flexibility between post-rock reach and alt-rock calamity. While this ignores genres and song structures, Rich’s storytelling is more focused, weaving in his addiction recovery process, integration into the Philadelphia music community, and acceptance of worthy love. It’s a deeply personal journey where mortality and maturity are permanently linked, and the latest entry in a band of close friends attempting to find peace in their own sound.
