kingslayer45 This song has some really sick sounding guitar in it and gets suck in your head! The whole album is really solid and paints a vivid picture of the artist and the life he has. Favorite track: Oro.

Tahoe Schrader Jed Baronia's sophomore album successfully depicts a myriad of human emotions: ranging from those that bring us happiness to those that cause memories we wish we could forget. He takes cues from artists such as Blink 182 but adds his own gritty flair, much like the work of Crywank. Favorite track: A Letter to Ilene.

Oro 03:42
burning the midnight oil the rain was washing down across our windshield putting god himself on his heels believing in forever not just the word, but all our favorite fictions our bodily addictions our breath tangled as our words escape before our mouths can hold them to a whisper our hearts dancing out of time, and out of place as the sky begins to fade into night [c] so stay golden like the town that you call home i know you'll leave my heart behind you i know our love was always lied to eyes closed our lips were moving faster every second the beauty and the breathless and who am i to say? the love we lose may never leave us, never fade the petrichor the glory days [c] and don't wait for anyone to catch up now you know the best is not behind you and golden hearts will always find you golden like the town that you call home i know you'll leave my heart behind you i know you don't need me like i need-

you're the sleeves i wear in august to hide my bad intentions the cherry blossom in the morning, the name i fail to mention were you ever meant to stay? will you remember what the day was when you told me that you loved me on the way to tempe? i'm not the same we're a panic! on the dance floor, silver linings trick play so very close to something perfect, just a word or two away like "i miss you" like "i love you" like "i don't wanna be without you" like "i'm so sick and fucking tired of always writing these songs about you" i'm not the same i'm a lifetime babyface but i'm about to turn heel a sudden chair shot to theboyyoulove-d, the song you wanna hear because i miss you, because i love you, because i don't wanna be without you but if you're the rollins to my ambrose, then i'll hate you if i have to I'M NOT THE SAAAaaaaAAAAaaaAAAME you're the sleeves i wear in august to hide my bad intentions the cherry blossom in the afternoon; you're gone with the wind don't forget me when you're famous, when all your friends still think i'm nameless i'm still a box in case you need, you're still the only one for me

Lovely 04:43
i'm having daydreams about your black cardigan spilling across my bedroom floor like a mess i never wanna clean up or see the rest of my room anymore and i hope this invitation finds you wel- -come to the things i most adore like your everything oh god i think i'm in love and leaving my hope at the door all my friends say i'm in too deep in over my head losing sleep what's one more cliche? i need you in my bed [c] but i know, i know you're far too beautiful to fall for this and i know, i know i'm way too miserable to call you this, but you're all kinds of lovely to me you're all kinds of lovely to me you're the autumn leaves and until now i've only ever known them green if i could i'd dive right into you oh, if i could dive right into you [c] (GO!) you're radiant baby and don't ever feel alone the current keeps changing but i'd swim all day just to reach somewhere i could call home retrace all the footsteps that led us to think we'd lost our way it felt like a war just to find myself next to you begging for you to say: "oh, boy just come on over" and i'll say: "oh, girl i thought you'd never"

there's something vaguely masochistic about the receipts i keep in this notebook the backs of which are stained by words that wish i'd been less hopeful, like: "the bottles love me more than you do" i've been treading the line between suicide and "everything will be alright" but it's not working and if i could just forget my loneliness and your lack of it then i might just believe that this was worth it and i promised i would never mix these desperate thoughts with the wishbone on my wrist if a man is only as good as his word is then i'm scared my promise might break the way that i did and i promised i would never mix the poison coursing through my veins with a mind intent on spilling it and i promised i would never quit but it's not getting any easier [c] the bottles love me more than you do i'm a heart attack and a half most nights but even when i'm not, i know that the bottles loves me more than you do just going through the motions again but i hope to god you understand and i refuse to kill the daylight left in me if that could ever make a difference was i only worth anything until i stopped meaning shit to you? as if i ever did to begin with i'm not making any kind of difference the voices keep me up but they don't talk about the coming sun or how i live to drive these demons out the devil in my head's getting louder every second i won't believe him but i can't help but to listen, cause: [c] but you don't you don't know... but i don't blame you what if my star doesn't shine bright enough? will it let the darkness take me? cause the friends i found in these bottles are gone and my grip on them is shaky what if my promise breaks and my aching hands can't hold off the devil anymore? will he let the poison run its course? will i even be worth remembering? this is not a sad story but it is about sadness cause for months i've been addicted to the joyless and the tragic there are empties that never fill and brokens that only half-fix but i'd rather learn from my stitches than pretend they never happened than pretend you never happened

home (n.) 02:03
all my friends are moving to bigger and better things while i can't get up off the couch or out of bed or out of this messy apartment i kept my grades up, i had a good time i feel lonely, oh i feel alright but i'm still stuck here oh, i feel stuck here it's a long drive home when you don't know where to go burning bridges built an island i'm all washed up under heavy eyelids am i the jetsam overboard? a ship that never leaves the shore? and this is how i get sometimes forgetting what is real the tunnel vision around my eyes and forever behind the wheel and it's a long drive home when you don't know where to go

Merigold 03:20
[c] your eyes force me to hyperbolize this space that lies between your hands and mine my hair's a mess but it's your favorite thing about me, except the way i make you laugh i always stress that i'm not worth it even in your sleep, i know it makes you sad you think my favorite color's blue but you wore purple the day i fell in love with you don't go getting any ideas about us, oh no don't go, don't go cause [c] i don't mind knowing that we're losing time but please stay long enough to say goodbye i braced for heavy days and nights without a common voice thoughts of you, your arms around another boy lost in all the silence that we couldn't fill and every harmless lie we never thought to tell we fell in love the way we felt the seasons change: a different air at first, the end so far away we breathed each other in until it felt okay the summer in your bones, the winter in my veins i prayed for better days and god i know they're on their way "i love you so" and all the words i meant to say i sat alone and thought of what you said to me "the love we want is not always the love we need"

i'll miss long drives and pictures of sunsets summer nights, our youth in excess promises made over dinner tend to fade by evening's end parking lots kept all our secrets of hate, love, and learning to mean it thank god for in-n-out or god knows where we'd be now (1,2) we're gathered here today to toast the ups and downs and losing sight of everything we didn't know kept us around (sick guitar solo) they say "moving on is hard but holding on is harder" we'll chase years of good times with bittersweet goodbyes i'm grateful for the time i spent picking up the pieces of my broken head i'm grateful for the way you stood by me i'm grateful for the best of friends i know i barely show it, it's so hard to fit in afraid i'll miss the way that things have always been and if anyone asks where home is i'll say "my backyard in the summer" and if anyone asks where home is i'll say "BEAR DOWN motherfucker" i'll miss you, i'll miss you but i won't you'll always be the company i keep close

Royal Love 03:53
oh it's hell, hell, hell - the way you keep me around i swear it's holding you down i swear you're better without me i've been up all day coming up with the words the perfect line you deserve like penning diamonds and pearls, girl oh it's walk the moon on a tuesday afternoon and it's the feeling i get with your breath between my name [c] pieces of you slipping into my mind oh it's more than another last time it's the clatter of thunder outside light from the moon catching up with your eyes you were always the favorite b-side to my one track mind and it's the way i know you'll always pick up the phone and i could write to you knowing you won't pretend to miss all these letters that i'll never send and i could call you up knowing you won't be there confessionals into your voice mail that you'll never hear, nor should you ever now they're stuck with me moments i can't replace knowing what's here today is saving 'goodbye' for another time but it'll be just fine the pressure's on me this time i always want sunrise without the sunset [c] and it's the way i knew you'd always pick up the phone this is goodbye, for once i know that it's overdue you know that it's like me to hold onto nothing you know that it's like me to run away this is goodbye, for good i know that i've outgrown you i hope you remember the flowers in summer i hope you remember before the rain and it's the way i knew you'd always pick up the phone

i woke up now across bitter disillusion self-medicated solutions my own blood was thinning out this can't work out, this can't work out and i'll miss things like believing in the future wishing time would pass us sooner silver linings in the clouds this can't work out, this can't work out you can pull the door open but you can't get me to pull through you can tell me that you love me but i'll always try to get you not to [c] no one ever warned me the twenties had such sharp teeth and a taste for my anxiety college never taught me depression sank an economy well then, what would it do it me? i'm running out of band-aids for temporary heartache and permanent solutions to problems that won't go away they won't go away they won't go away [c] 19 and wide-eyed (never thought that i'd be) eaten alive (eaten alive) but avery says that i'll be just fine and chris says i'll be just fine and hannah says i'll be just- and jess says i'll be just- my friends say i'll be just fine

Jed Baronia - literally everything you hear on this album

But I'd like to thank all my family, friends, instructors, mentors, heroes, and former lovers who made the last four years possible.

I don't have the right words to properly show my appreciation right now, but something tells me I will eventually. Thank you for sticking with me. Thank you for being patient. Thank you for believing.
