Acting Tough

It doesn’t always work out
You’ve just got way too much doubt
Your mother says you need to learn to forget
But it’s not my fault and I need your help
You see I’ve got this picture of myself
And It’s taken me years to come up with
Start again and you’ll be fine
Aren’t you sick of looking for answers all the time
It’s such a shame to have to see you acting tough
Did somebody make you feel like you aren’t good enough
Losing faith in everything you ever loved
Would you be heard if you shout
Do you feel like time’s running out
And every time you think of the things you’d say
Someone else says it’s in your head
You joke that you might as well be dead
And everyone around just looks the other way

Accident Prone

I can feel my heartbeat now it’s quiet and i’m alone
I can feel the fear like a weight that I can’t lift
I’m accident prone
I’ve been adding all the symptoms up
Accept my body’s breaking
See all the people walking past like all the chances i’m not taking
You’re making me tired
I can’t play the games that you arrange cause i’ve never played
I don’t wanna win anything i’ll let you feel in control
Can’t remember the first time you acted out
Made me feel like a child
I must’ve been a bad kid to feel your wrath and get you riled

Winter Coat

You had your life together before I fell apart
The thought of you then kind of helped me out of the dark
And now I do all the things I always said I’d do
And maybe I’ve just gotten used to you but I sometimes get that feeling
That you’d like to
So if you ever want a change of scenery
Would you want to go away with me
Cause you look great in my winter coat
And you might feel different when we’re alone
I’ve got myself now and i’m not afraid of being told no
There’s only ever one way to know
I’ve got to get a handle on this
Sinking feeling that i’m losing it
Tonight i’ll keep myself to myself
And I won’t suggest it if it’s not fair
And i’m just imagining it in the air but sometimes I get that feeling
That you’re right there
Have you thought about me breathing heavily
Any interest in going there with me

About You

I don’t mind listening if you needed a friend
You’ve taken me down before, take me down again
Are you looking for a gunfight?
Or a more casual goodbye?
You’ve got a way of making it all about you
Ran away from everything you’ve been through
Wonder if you’re wanted
Nothing I can say, nothing I can do
What’s it like down in that place, Is it working out?
I always think of you when i’m full of self doubt
Now we’re right back where we started
I’m just someone to talk about on your way home
Are you sick of staring at the ceiling?
Praying for some sort of meaning

Long Way

Well you better get in line
With the crowd that’s formed outside
And you’ll wait to be seen
Till you’re your own worst enemy
All the screens and magazines
Where the people look like me
I’m not gonna be blind
To the way things are designed
It will catch up with you at night
You better not run and hide
Not come a long way
You didn’t just change your mind
At an uncomfortable time
He fucking should’ve known
He gave you no room to say no
And they’ll say it’s for publicity
If you find the strength to speak
And when it’s so much easier to watch it all fall apart
Sometimes i get hopeful then feel like we’re back at the start

Against It All

I don’t want to go running even though it helps
I don’t wanna see strangers doing well
I don’t want to be honest cause I’m afraid
You know I never want to join in and show my face
There someone missing from the curtain call
Seventeen page application form
They might never see you’re against it all
reaching higher means further to fall
If you want something you best be sure
I’ll begin it but I’m not gonna get very far
The only thing I love is giving up when it gets hard
I never want to stay out after you’ve gone
I don’t want to learn the process let me get it wrong

Lovely album, Fresh have really honed their sound without losing the joy of the early stuff. The album runs to about half an hour, which I also like (cf. It's a shame about Ray).

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks.

saw this live when they were performing with Jeff Rosenstock. The Goosebumps from seeing the pure emotion in the finale was so raw and passionate. it made me appreciate being able to attend live music again!
