Trust No One 03:31
Don't wrap your wings around them again They'll rip your heart through your ribs Don't wrap your wings around a friend They always forget, they always pretend Guard everything, trust no one Soak everything, in gasoline Burn everything, around you Don't wrap your wings around them again They'll rip your heart through your ribs Don't wrap your wings around a friend They always forget, they always pretend Guard everything, trust no one Lock everything, melt down the keys Limb all the trees, around you Don’t trust the leaves Don’t trust your wings Where'd you go, what'd I do Was it her, or them, or you Where'd you go, what'd I do Which one was the real you Guard everything, trust no one

I see you on the hillside I see you in the fallen trees In the orange and, the orange and, the orange I see you through a child’s eyes The skulls beneath the weathered skins In the claws of, the crow’s feet, the crows I see you in the sky’s lines, and the gold light As time stands still, the grass on the hill, bends the light And the kid’s laughs fill, the tents on the hill Towed like kites, and they could run all night I see you in the fine lines I see you in the reds and browns The fine lines, the fine lines, defined The hours hide beneath me But I can almost feel the ground It feels good, it feels good, to feel As time stands still, the grass on the hill, bends the light And the kid’s laughs fill, the tents on the hill Towed like kites, and they could run all night They could run all night They’ll be just fine

Is this what you wanted How does it feel Who’d you have to hurt What’d you have to steal If you can’t trust the pleasure You can’t trust the pain It’s one thing you learn They’re one and the same Don’t say that you’re happy now You got what you wanted How does it feel Or can you even feel it Under your heels You can’t trust the poison You can’t trust the cure They’re one and the same As far as you’re concerned Don’t say that you’re happy now Under the weather now And it’s pouring down And you’re burning out And you hope, the fever inside Won’t last through the night But you’re never right It never subsides
4.
Polly Jean 03:53
The wheel fell asleep on me And when I reached out It turned away from me And the double yellow lines Carved into the ice And rolled me over like a burning bride And the rusty rail welcomed me With open arms, and a fist of sparks Into the dark of the ravine And I kicked the windshield in And the glass dug through my shins And I crawled free, to the voice of Polly Jean Save me, I’m down here Turn around if you see the smoke Cornered in your rearview mirror Save me, I’m right here Please don’t leave, if you see the sloped Headlights point into the air And I looked up at the sky In the dead of night And I wondered Why me, why oh why And the crimson snow It warmed my back For the moments before It all went black Save me, I’m down here Turn around if you see the smoke Cornered in your rearview mirror Save me, I’m right here Please don’t leave, if you see the sloped Headlights point into the air Don’t turn down the stereo I’ll need something to listen to Don’t turn down the stereo I’ll need some chords to listen to I’ll need someone to listen to When it all goes
5.
Milligrams 02:45
The days bleed together Are you getting any better As you, break your pills in two Half in the morning, half in the evening To stop you, from what you’ve done And what you’ll do Lay down, until you can't stand up Turn off, who you were once Strung out, on your own dumb luck Your own dumb luck Your thoughts race each other Fight like they're brothers Until they’re, bloody, black, and blue On top of the world and You could hold it up in your hands Alongside, your unfinished plans Lay down, until you can't stand up Turn off, who you were once Strung out, on your own dumb luck Your own dumb luck And you can't recover, who you were And you’ll hurt the others, with your words And you can't recover, who you were The days bleed together
6.
Don’t talk to the dead now They’ll trick you, they’ll turn you down You’ll just trip the flames out Like she said Woke up to the red in the rain Clothes soaked with the feeling again But it’s never gone away Chest torn from the past and the pain Ears ring with the sound of your name I’ll never get over it Tangled up your lines now Closed circuits, they’re cutting out Diagnosed any day now Caught on you Woke up to the red in the rain Clothes soaked with the feeling again But it’s never gone away Chest torn from the past and the pain Ears ring with the sound of your name I’ll never get over it Don’t talk to the dead now They just might hear you out But It’s all in your head now Like she said
7.
Deep Blue 04:37
When are we gonna talk About where it all went wrong Yeah I meant every word Just not in the slant you heard And I get it you’re upset But you haven’t even heard me out yet I never had a guarantee Or a fair shot at you and me Can’t you see, you’re all ever wanted It buried me, in the deep blue sea It turned me down Until I was noise in the background Until I couldn’t breathe, and I still can’t breathe And I’ve always been held down, yeah It’s nothing new, it’s always been I thought one day you’d pull me out And we’d make up for all our lost plans Can’t you see, you’re all ever wanted It buried me, in the deep blue sea It turned me down Until I was noise in the background Until I couldn’t breathe, and I still can’t breathe Why can’t you see, the lines between When I look back, on my life You're the one thing I couldn't write, my way out of But until then, I’ll keep trying I was 21, just like you Do you get it yet, do you get it yet Why can’t you see the lines between
8.
False Fluff 04:29
Lay down, on the sandstone, the bone dry Rest my head, on the false fluff, all night Cry out, to the dark woods, the choked smoke Inhale, the coarse air, down my throat And if you don’t want to hear from me Will any salt soak into your cheeks And if you really hate me now I wanna hear the words out loud Curl up, pull the ice sheets to my chin Smooth out, the bird bumps, on my skin Stand up, brush the oak leaves from my back Kill me off, cause all I want is you back And if you don’t want to hear from me Will any salt soak into your cheeks Cause if you really hate me now I wanna hear the words out loud Do you hate who I am right now I’m parched from reaching out Do you hate who I am right now My voice is going out Do you hate who I am right now Do you really hate me now
9.
Love all your children Help all your best friends Bend over backwards To protect them Count all your blessings Mattress your money They'll fuck you over You won't see it coming I can't feel a thing I can't chase another breath I can’t feel a thing I can't feel a thing Dying daisies overhead I can't feel a thing Rip off your records And your guitar, and Lie to your parents Cheat on your girlfriend Betray your best friends Piss off your daughter And when you wash your hands You poison the water I can't feel a thing I can't chase another breath I can’t feel a thing I can't feel a thing Dying daisies overhead I can't feel a thing I'm all flies, I’m all ashes I’m all flies, but I can’t fly away I can't feel a thing I can't chase another breath I can't feel a thing Dying daisies overhead I can't feel a thing I’m all flies, but I can’t fly away
10.
Not Just Ink 03:31
Will you put me in the ground Before we work it out And will it even hurt When the shovels lift the earth Will you even be around So don't pick up the phone That way you’ll never really know What's underneath my skin Where I cut you in While you cut me out You cut me out So I cut you into my skin And I can see you now, every day And you don't have a say But it's a fake Maybe someday I'll see the real thing Not just ink, that’ll fade

about

Pioneers of the late 90s/early 2000s emo scene, Time Spent Driving’s latest LP, “Estrangers,” is a varied journey through the dark corners of the human condition. Expansive, moody, and dynamic; they never lose sight of their trademark sound. However, it’s one that has evolved over the years and is always taking on new challenges. The band’s been known for their lyrical prowess, but the latest material reaches new heights when it comes to painting a picture in the mind of the listener. With a brutally honest approach, “Estrangers” manages to deliver some of the best hallmarks of the genre to both satiate the loyal Time Spent Driving fanbase and engage new listeners.
