Introduction 01:35
2.
Grown Wrong 03:31
Everyone you know will be consumed Grotesque Obsessed At the hands of a paycheck You will never make them feel the same You will never make them feel whole again What they've been missing You've been holding on to You will never make them feel the same You will never make them feel whole again
3.
Tethers 02:18
Sometimes to kill the fear of flying away A baby bird must spit back in his mother's face Sometimes to play into the hands of another That same bird must turn two against each other I've seen broken wings like this before But never quite this mature
4.
Amazing Gray 02:05
The walls aren't caving in The temples are going gray The stones accumulating The joints, tear and fade away The bones, they weather and age Amazing gray (What a still-age to feel this way)
5.
Better Oft 01:12
There are worse things than moving on That I know i should be concerned with A bigger picture, but i just can't i just cant help myself There are worse things than sleeping alone Like not knowing if You will sleep at all Or if that's all you will ever do
6.
Reliefs 03:26
7.
Apolitical 01:43
Insincere Flattery Does nothing For us Our culture Pushes back what we should move forward. Compliments to the left as the right moves over Concession Appeasement Only aids The failing We have been taught and learned to accept The ailments of a society enslaved in debts
8.
My mind just wants to Think itself into the future My nerves just want to stop the ache My hands just know what it is to be Holding on to something We can believe But it's just not realistic To have all you desire At your fingers It's just wishful thinking My heart just wants to heal itself Never skip a beat My eyes just want to sleep and sleep Dreams always were better than you But it's just not realistic To have all you desire At your fingertips It's just wishful thinking Juxtaposing expectation with reality
9.
Fulfillment 05:31
As we're summing up As we're moving on Articulating our next breath Our words soon to be gone (from our lips) And no matter what battle field we are on There is a fulfillment in placing this in song The tip of my tongue The body you hide inside The idea of this space The permanence of this place Knowing it will soon be gone... It's the hardest part of being... Of gathering my thoughts But at least I know there will be Something to carry on When I'm gone

about

This is the final album by the band known as These Branches.

I won't waste your time with some epic, self-aggrandizing pat on the back biography paragraph here, but for those not in the know:

These Branches were a band from Summer 2009 until Summer 2016.
We had a lot of fun, made a lot of noise and did it for the right reasons, in our minds.

The dissolution of this band was an unfortunate one, and we won't go into details here. Our last show included massive equipment failures, and this album itself is by no means "perfect" or "finished" but hey, it's punk, right?

We were fortunate enough to work with some of the best DIY bands and record labels around during our short time as a project.
For every single one of you that let us sleep on your floor, booked us a show, released a record with us or just said "Hey..."
This record is for you.

Two years in the making and this nail in the coffin is complete.
This is closure.

Thanks again.
