if no one got me, i know virgin heartbroken whiny men screaming into the mic with their complex yet great sounding instrumentals to contrast their voices, weirdly named bands and even worsely named songs, got me

[belviathan]

I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat,

and he is screaming and crying for help,

and maybe halfway through, it has more to do with me killing him,

Then it ever did protecting myself,

and I believe that, yeah, Dad, maybe no one is perfect,

But I believe that you were pushing your luck,

It just sucks it played out like this,

A terrible movie and you can tell none of the actors even give a fuck.

no one should ever trust me with the aux

"i've come full circle almost without hesitation

(but not completely without)

i feel in my bones this shit gnawing at my reputation

(i hate that i do that)

just try and feel good about all of this good that you feel'

(you put it to me bluntly)

but i erase the commonplace practices, i'm practically killed

(my up-bringing brings me down)”

NAOKO NEVER LOVED ME!!

Great OK emo band with a great 4th wavey, math-y sound. The vocals and drumming are two particular standouts to me. These guys are some of my favorites in the OK DIY scene right now! If you're in OKC or Tulsa and are free, you should totally check if they're playing soon! They have a ton of great originals as well as this great cover :)

Their Instagram is @naokoneverlovedme, please go give them a follow!

[toilonto649lore]

currently my favorite TWIABP song

[possessedbymypast]

If I wake up and accidentally crawl into your arms

It's nothing personal

Person-hood has always seemed so strange

Why do things always have to go and change?

Better off if things just stayed the same

If I freak out and I crash my fucking car into your house

Of course it's personal

Person-hood has made me feel this way

Why do things always have to go and change?

Better off if things just stayed the same
