about

Funds raised from this song will go to CHOICES for survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence in Franklin County, Ohio (lssnetworkofhope.org/choices).

I hope this song reminds you that it's normal to feel exhausted at a time like this. I hope it reminds you to ask for help and seek support in whatever way you can get it. I hope it reminds you to take care of yourself and the people who matter to you. I hope it reminds you, if you have the means, to help those who need it most.

lyrics

What a goddamn year this has been
I’m fucking exhausted

I swear things made sense once
now I’m scared that we lost it

Slow down, pay attention, don’t be afraid
to ask the question of who we are
and how we’ll live through this

Wait - how did we get to this place
I can’t understand the logic
I’ll have to retrace the steps we took
to fall into this prison cell
Are we all on a sinking ship
The structure is caving in
I’m losing grip on what’s left of
our fragile mental health
Can we fix it ourselves?

What a goddamn year this has been
I’m fucking exhausted
and I’ve got just enough left
to take one shot in the dark
I swear things made sense once
now I’m scared that we lost it
and all we can do is hold on to each other
when everything’s falling apart

when everything’s falling apart

We’ve got to be honest
about what it means
to break out of our trances
and set ourselves free
we’ve been comatose
losing days
time to wake up and say
Remember what matters
before it’s too late

What a goddamn year this has been
I’m fucking exhausted (fucking exhausted)
and I’ve got just enough left
to take one shot in the dark
This whole time, all we needed
was some kind of constant
so let’s find our friends
and hold onto each other
when everything’s falling apart

but we won’t let this all fall apart

Slow down, pay attention, don’t be afraid
to ask the question of who we are
and how we’ll live through this

What a goddamn year this has been
I’m fucking exhausted
so let’s find our friends
and hold onto each other
when everything’s falling apart

We won’t let this all fall apart.

Hey. We make loud songs. We went viral on TikTok once.

Thanks for listening.

We like lots of music, but most of our songs are inspired by emo and post-hardcore songs from the myspace era.

Do something good for yourself today, and then help a friend do something good for them. ... more
