Well I'm trying my best with no experience
There's no manual for happiness
And apologies are stupid
They don't ever do you justice but it's kind of all you'll get
Because I don't want to be that kind of girl anymore
No I don't want to end up sleeping on your bathroom floor
Cuz I'm trying to be a decent person this time around
And I hope that by the end of the night I've got some solid ground
Cuz it's going down tonight
Going down tonight
I don't want my kindness to be taken for granted
Cuz there's nothing worse than people who just take
And I'm tired of being told what should be said just let let me have my say
I'm trying my best to not be stepped on like a welcome mat
Because sometimes people aren't that welcome and they've got to take a step back
This isn't me being an asshole it's just me trying to live
Without the hindrance of bullshit people causing me distress
Cuz they're going down tonight
It's going down tonight
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Well I gave you a knife to put in my back
But you stabbed yourself because you couldn't do that
So I held you there with a wound in your chest
Because living and dying are all but a breath
Take it in take it in just please let me go
I'm tired of living I want to go home
Take it in take it in please don't leave me alone
Together we'll go because I love you so
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Well look at us both just a couple of jokes
But the punchline is dead cuz we're both on our own
But we keep moving on cuz that's all we can do
As we sing out our hearts going this one's for you!
All the cash in the world doesn't matter to us
Because living and loving and building up trust
Is the only outline for a happy life
And I'm happy to spend it next to your side
Cuz it's going down tonight

Hi we're a couple of queerdos that write songs that are punk and folk and everywhere in between. Fuzzed out violins, fast paced guitars, singing our hearts out. Learning to wield hope like a baseball bat <3
John Underwood is a ten-piece one-man-band, and he seems to be producing new instruments from his infinite beard every time I see him. He's an incredible musician, and deserves a proper listen to <3 Flower Crown Me A Queen
Bobby's Oar is one of those projects where you notice something new on every listen. Greg's writing and playing style are infinite influences on me, and Not What I'm Looking For is just incredible. Flower Crown Me A Queen
You haven't heard of Escape The Stake yet, but you will. This is everything that got me into folk punk in the first place, plus a little more. Pay attention, this person is fucking going places! Flower Crown Me A Queen
