You try too hard
For the perfect beginning
You're so let down
When the beauty starts fading
Once beaming with confidence
Now brooding with doubt
Pack those pictures away
And
Black out

I bought a CD (Black Out by The Good Life that has Tim Kasher of Cursive doing vocals) and it arrived yesterday. It is GREAT! I <3 it. It's like one long story and all the songs blend into the next. It starts out with a black out and a man is stumbling along a beaten and familiar path. He comes upon a bar, apparently he took the fifth day off of work in a row and he got fired. He stays at the bar a while, blacks out again, wakes up an hour later and begins to drink more. Last call comes so he has to leave. He wakes up the next morning, his bed is empty and he has no love in his life. He stumbles "off the beaten path" this new day but it still ends with him blacking out. That's just a general outline of the story, the songs are mostly about the thoughts that this man has throughout his actions... It's really much more... artistic and abstract than I'm making it sound but I just can't put it into words. Anyway, it's really quite great!

You think too much
Such terrible endings
You drink so much
To start the forgetting
And you're so mad at yourself
But you forget what about
When it gets too blue
Black out
