Contrast

I’m still the grey seat between the black and the white
I’m still sitting on the fence asking myself what’s right
But I’m no longer trying my best to disappear
Because everything I want is all right here
I could focus on the gender or the skin
I could assume net worth, compare my own, and not let you in
What separates was never made to last
I can’t expand without this beautiful contrast
If honesty were for sale I’d say the shit that I hold back
I’d be all the way and unafraid to attack
But I've only got so much to say
Cause bliss came for me and I just want to take away your pain
So change, or stay the same
I don’t think I’m Superman anymore
I’ve only come to please so I’ll just make more sound
And let us all be one now

No Age

I felt the whisper of a thrill
Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
Self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
I felt the whisper of the night
Lip-locked on all the glass pipes that have altered my life
Like quiet screams and I was all mine
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
Ty reminds me of what it all once was
I'll stand still so it can be safe here for us
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
I felt the whisper of a thrill
Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
And my self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill

Joy Notes

I could write until I’m blue in the hands
I could read all the books that my eyes can stand
But I’ve come away from ways I thought I had to be
To keep myself safe from pain
Things change
And I’m home sick in LA and you’re far away
I wish I could turn one month to one day
Cause I love the way you laugh when I see you
I’d explain myself
I don't need to
Be so understood anymore
And if you are I am
I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed
And I’m gone again
“If you are I am”
It’s what you said
And I love the way you laugh when I see you
I’d explain myself
I don’t need to
Be so understood anymore
And if you are I am
I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed
(Like you said)
And I kiss you on the forehead
And we dance out of the light
I woke you up just to say goodnight
And let you know I’m alright
If you are I am
And I woke you up just to say goodnight
And let you know I’m alright
I forgive your morning breath
I get you packed and out for the day ahead
I adore the way you looked before you left bed
(Like you said)
And I kiss you on the forehead
And you know that I love you
But who knew
That I could find joy too

I strike a chalk up
As I walk up to the corner of Spruce
I wonder when I last tied my shoes
Cause I know you know that I know
That I’m just not right
And I’m just trying not to use the word try
I knew that it was you
I’d give it all away for you
And I’m not confused
I know one night just won’t do
And I could credit what was said
Or the tone the actions set
I’m a mother’s son and
I know that she won’t forget
You let me quiet all my thoughts
You forgive me, all my faults
You gave me everything I have
I never call
I’d give it all away for you
And I’m not confused
I know one night just won’t do
I’d give it all away for two
If I were to use
I know that one just won’t do

I remember young songs
In a white car parked by the mall
Long before I did things down the road
Before I got so tall
And you were always been my friend
In spite of everything I did
And you could always find me hiding out
Despite how quietly I hid
So this is just how I say
Those three words everybody knows
It’s not like I found some special thoughts
Mine just found some place to go
And that’s why I sing
All these words in such big notes
So that you’ll hear me
And wonder what I wrote
I always thought it was just
(I always thought, I always thought)
The way a mother sees a son
(You’d talk, you’d talk)
You’d talk about the way I write
Now you see how far it’s come
(Now you see how far, now you see how far)
So I’ve tucked you into my voice
(Always there for me)
Like how you used to do for me
(High notes, high notes)
You’re the warm tone in my high notes
You were my first harmony
(You were my first
You were my first
You were my first
Harmony)
So I thought about the contrast
How things don’t always go one way
There was only love when I was young
I just wish enough to stay
And I remember young things
The sad things and the fun things
But I, but I, but I
I saw myself grow tall
Then I stole all of your sleep
Harmed everyone around me
But I sing, I sing
We all fall down
And get back up
(We all fall down
And get back up)
I’d never be the one I am
Without the one you’ve always been
Through bitter times and better strides
From skating rinks and white car rides
You are the one
The loving hand that built the sun
And that’s why I say
All these words stuck in your throats
It’s not like I found some special thoughts
Mine just found some place to go
And that’s why I sing
All these words in such big notes
So that you’ll hear me
And wonder what I wrote

French Kiss
03:18
|

I’ve hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I’ll stay here
And leave what holds our feet
Up here on the boardwalk
I’ll write a song that’s happy
I’ve hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I’ll stay here
Let’s find a place to place our things
Watch the white wash and feel the cool breeze That it brings
Open eyes and I start to reminisce
Young summers long before the sex
Or even just a French kiss
I’ve hardly found myself by the shore this year
Too much time indoors
So I’ll stay here
And let the sun take my pale skin
As I breathe you in
I’m warm, I’m comfortable
And I fit in

If I had a dime
For every addict like me who died
Behind the same line
“Just one more time”
My name might be justified
But I start to cry
On the side of the highway
When it’s my Tom they find
And it’s cold in my shoes
Might be my turn to lose
And it’s my right to choose
Can’t step over, I must walk through
I don’t know if you’ll make it out
But I’ll come through
I just don’t want to miss you
Cause I’m just trying to find the words
To ease the symptoms of the pain
But you’re the key, and you’re the cage
The operator
And your worst cell mate
And I’m not a fan
Of the voice that says things
That it don’t understand
But it talks all the same
As it passes the blame
Like it’s off somewhere else
And it’s all just one big cry for help
Your mom met us all
We just stared at your body
And blamed Fetanyl
And I magnified
The lines
Between you and I
Body wakes, but the brain might die
I don’t know if you’ll make it out
But I’ll come through
I just don’t want to miss you
Cause I’m just trying to find the words
To ease the symptoms of the pain
But you’re the key, and you’re the cage
The operator
And your worst cell mate
I’ve gone numb
When friends fall
Seven years and I can still
Feel the withdrawal
I don’t want to let anyone come too close
Cause sometimes these church basements
Are the only space
Between my friends and overdose
I don’t know if you’ll make it out
But I’ll come through
I just don’t want to miss you
Cause I’m just trying to find the words
To ease the symptoms of your pain
But you’re the key, and you’re the cage
The operator
And your worst cell mate

Unlove

I gave you love and I won’t forget you
I gave you love and love was
Find new love and I won’t forget you
I gave you love and love was fine
I want to deconstruct your wings and build you up
Cause if you’re fixable then I won’t feel so
Unloved just cause you want what I don’t want
No, we’re just different
So I’ll give you different love

Play
03:25

It’s hard
I don’t want to play my part
So just tell me where to stand
And when to start
And what to say
And how things are
Because I know I’m beautiful enough
For someone to love
I don’t know many things
But I feel everything
And I’m just too young to give up
Let’s play, let’s play, let’s play our days away
Let’s say the thoughts that we don’t say
Don’t hesitate, don’t hesitate
Let’s act before we explain away
The joy in our exchange
Let’s make some new mistakes
Cause I’ve grown tired of playing safe
It’s hard
I don’t want to play my part
So just tell me where to stand
And when to start
And what to say
And how things are
Because I know I’m beautiful enough
For someone to love
I don’t know many things
But I feel everything
And I’m just too young to give up
So I’ll play, I’ll play
The things that words can’t say
Let the now, not what’s to come
Or seems to be running late
It’s hard
I don’t want to play my part
So just tell me where to stand
And when to start
And what to say
And how things are
Because I know I’m beautiful enough
For someone to love
I don’t know many things
But I feel everything
And I’m just too young to give up

Downtown

I started meeting up with you downtown
And I knew that I could be myself now
Despite the things I think most of the time
I am fine
Plain jeans and plain tees
Dreaming dreams I never dreamed
Cold sheets and a fall breeze
And it’s so sweet
You think just like me
I started meeting up with you downtown
And I knew that I could be myself now
Despite the things I think most of the time
I am fine
I can blame some place
For the way that I think
Myself into a corner
Of this box I create
Every time I feel better
I forget that I was ever sad
It’s not so bad
You saved my seat
And let me be
It’s just the way you speak
That sets me free
If not for you
I would have moved back
And I’d still be writing
Suburban blues
But I started meeting up with you downtown
And I knew that I could be myself now
Despite the things I think most of the time
I am fine
And I could blame some place
For the way that I think
Myself into a corner
Of this box I create
Every time I feel better
I forget that I was ever sad
It’s not so bad

Save your prayers for me
Offer all new thoughts on love and disbelief
I could dance with you for days
Then run away
Run away
Cause the cards you show could fall apart
And all that’s firm could all turn soft
I know you think that it’s your all
But when it’s all gone
You’ll still be beautiful
(All things grow old)
Now I’m that boy hiding in tall trees
Behind those quiet leaves
Still that boy standing three foot three
Reject me
Cause the cards you show could fall apart
And all that’s firm could all turn soft
I know you think that it’s your all
But when it’s all gone
You’ll still be hiding
Corners of your soul
Away from all you see as vulnerable
You know it’s all control
But you never let go
And you’re still beautiful
All things grow old
But only some things grow up
Cause the cards you show could fall apart
And all that’s firm could all turn soft
I know you think that it’s your all
But when it’s all gone
You’ll still be hiding
Corners of your soul
Away from all you see as vulnerable
You know it’s all control
But you never let go
And you’re still beautiful

Moving Parts

As I recall
I called you moving parts
Three years ago the truth and I stood far apart
But you let me talk
On long drives and longer walks
It’s not so deep, played on repeat
And thoughts turn off
And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
But we’ve come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart
Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away
So I borrowed some taste from Ty and Blake
And we made every mistake
I think we might have found a way
For unlike parts to cooperate
And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
Oh, but we’ve come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart
Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away
So I borrowed some chords from Con
And I wrote my friends one song
So when we’re far apart too long
We just press play sing along
And we were all
Home songs spread far apart
I never knew if this would work or for how long
Now, but we’ve come so far
And the greatest distance was from the head to the heart
Oh I've changed, I've changed
This distance grows away
As I recall
I called you moving parts
Three years ago the truth and I stood far apart
But you let me talk
On long drives and longer walks
It’s not so deep, played on repeat
And thoughts turn off

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil
