i haven't been sleeping lately stay up late too much caffeine my hands are all too shaky my head's a mess my room's not clean i get too drunk and fall down i like it when my knees are bruised i wish you were around but the way you act makes me confused you forgot to tie yr shoelace here i'll bend down, let me help you i looked up, saw yr face you looked away, what can i do the rain was falling heavy you close yr eyes, i fake a smile yr gaze is dark and steady i'll stick around just for a while and i like you, but i think you like her and i wish you knew, i wish you remembered and i told you, but it was in my dream and you liked me too, i don't know what it means

sonny 04:00
i see you after school picking flowers it seems cool where's yr vase ? here's some water, wash yr face hey sonny, i saw you too help me pick which bugs are for you there's some moss can you toss it ? let's get lost there are no words, there are no words, there are no words to say there are no words, etc etc there is a place we'll find back home that's full of spiderwebs and hollow skies the daisies remind us it's too late there are no words, there are no words, there are no words to say there are no words, etc etc

green 03:45
i'm a restless kid with restless needs and a deep disdain for endless grief but the greens from yr iris circle my feet and the touch on my shoulder is concrete and you won't notice now, you just talk slowly you won't notice now what you said that day clear some bramble before yr dead we'll be green as a meadow next to some street our bodies will be hard, soft concrete and you won't notice now, you just talk slowly let's go now, let's go now, etc etc

my mom drops me off take a breath and slam the door meet all my friends we've all been here before go shop around, maybe see a movie there's the boy from my math class, he's so dreamy at the mall the palisades mall head to the food court and ride the ferris wheel there's some gum on the seats, i don't know how to feel maybe go to jeepers, or dave & busters there's so many options i'm feeling flustered at the mall the palisades mall spent my allowance but i can get some things for free, bourbon chicken free samples there's no place i'd rather be all of the girls look exactly the same they don't notice me. they don't even know my name urban sprawl aeropostale at the mall the palisades mall

blue house 03:44
blue house, i try so hard to pretend but josh knows i don't want to be here let's smoke shuffling around inside trying to find a face i recognize but i don't, so i'll just smoke cigarettes alone im shifting in my seat, but yr caught in my teeth, and i'm stuck in my chair, and sarah fell down the stairs small talk, i forgot how to make we brought pot, but they smoked most of it fuck them i dont know how to communicate so i'll stand and watch and wait but this foggy nightmare has helped clear the air from my lungs im shifting in my seat, but yr caught in my teeth, and i'm stuck in my chair, and sarah fell down the stairs so i guess i'll just wait, it's so easy to relate when yr not thinking about what yr saying

released April 3, 2015

slackjaw owes 100 percent to soft cough and the boys at mute city (ben dan tom matt nich mal weith and our own jon mcalpine)- without their encouragement, criticism, practice space, and forgiveness for our volume issues (and use of their guitar strings, cans of seltzer and snare drums...), slackjaw would not be here today.

extra shouts out to eli ben-yaacov for his thoughtful feedback and recording talents. eli, you did a lot with a little.

thanks a ton to all of our friends who have supported and listened to our music- sam barker for driving jacob around in the cold, connor, zeno and the rest of comfy, britina, the coop at 14 avon, emily, calvin fr the use of his cymbals that was great, and everyone else whos come to a show !!!!
