R. A. Blum Emo may never get the mainstream revival that hardcore is going through right now, but that’s ok. Young fresh bloodied hearts will feel emo and live emo, generation after generation. Emo will always be, because we all get caught in our feels. We can all be taken over by emotion.
I love split records, I’m familiar with these bands, but I gotta say Celebration Guns really bring it for me on this release. All the tracks are good, that’s just who I’m feeling most now as I write this.
Its all feels Favorite track: Trying Is Hard.

Last time I checked we were all gonna die At least I get to burn out by your side Someone kick the tires You know it doesn’t add up I’m always tired Even though I’m sleeping enough Feeling inspired These days I’m trying new drugs Just want to lie here with you Scared of your love Your two bent knees support my head Call it the modern-day lap of luxury I’ll put paint to canvas At the cost of next week's groceries That small space once filled with hate Replaced with desire to create The crushing weight of conscious states Around you momentarily abates And I’ll be happy if it kills me Tape glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling Steal tiny glances while you’re reading And make the best of something fleeting And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me And I’ll be happy if it kills me

I see your eyes my friend Longing for what you viewed Something you can’t pursue Don’t touch my fries again I don’t know where your hands have been Go get your own, leave me alone To eat in solitude
3.
Lately I’ve been losing sleep Thinking about how the world should be When the world is telling me That waking up is what I really need But waking up’s hard, trying is hard Caring is hard when you feel this down Breaking out of my routine Seemed like an impossibility But I could feel the world ending So now it’s time to come out of hiding I should try to join other people With ideas that don’t involve my own needs Life exists outside of my never-ending Self-obsessive mission I’ve got a lot to do I’m changing my point of view I’ve got a lot to learn I’ve got nothing to lose I’m waking up as you I’m changing my point of view My hateful side would rather Just turn off the lights But my wasted life Might find a better use outside Lately I’ve been planning things That benefit someone besides just me At least that’s what I’m home dreaming When I’m writing songs nobody needs But changing is hard Growing is hard Living is hard When you’re inside yourself
4.
Little raccoon eyes staring at me From the edge of the tree line Outside your old friend’s house Where we got drunk, and practiced archery Cigarette circle of houseguests talking In the backyard on broken concrete I clung to you like a little kid I fell in love with you on your birthday That night honestly means so much to me Some things balance out the suffering Didn’t write love songs Until I met you I think I knew how Just didn’t want to Didn’t write love songs Until I met you I think I knew how Just didn’t want to That night honestly means so much to me Some things balance out the suffering

Stuck inside of a cereal box In a haze I have gotten lost again Jet lagged but I don't understand Why I'm feeling like this Stuck inside of a cereal box In a haze I have gotten lost again Fingers covered in glaze The sweetness starting to fade Collecting thoughts as they come back to Jet lagged Adrift in A daydream I’m feeling My vision It's clouding Jet lagged Adrift in A daydream I’m feeling My vision It's clouding In a haze I feel like I’ve gotten lost again Fingers covered in glaze again The sweetness starting to fade again In a haze I feel like I’ve gotten lost again Fingers covered in glaze again The sweetness starting to fade again

The feeling’s gone away The regrets and the shame Will vanish someday Will the memories remain? There's a place I can go to When I don’t want to Think about you I feel safe distracted from you By the emptiness I come home to The feeling’s gone away The regrets and the shame Will vanish someday Will the memories remain? I’ll erase them with Self-improvement someday But I won’t let you hang around Like a destructive cloud I’m trying to live without I hate to remember now The way that you brought me down And left me down The feeling’s gone away The regrets and the shame Will vanish someday The feeling’s gone away The regrets and the shame Will vanish someday Will the memories remain? I’ll erase them with Self-improvement someday
