lyrics

Running out of fingers to keep track of all my wrongs. Relapse, rebound, rebuild, but still no signs of moving on.
I thought they said that time was the healer of all pain. All I see is change, and I just stay the same.

I recall a time when that river ran rapid. The sun, it shone so bright on each day I'd inhabit, but what's worse is all the time gone by I lost trying to hide is the one thing that I keep with me - it keeps me up at night.

I can't pretend that I don't see decline. What about the end justifies the means
We're just killing time as if it won't run out. I can't sit by and just pretend.

I broke into that house again. It looks just like we left it. Dust on dirty photographs, years of being stagnant. It's funny how a time and place transcend when you return. So I wrote a note without a date hoping that you never learn that I can't pretend.

All I've ever wanted was a name to tangle in these lines. All they've ever been about is me, and how I can't keep up with life, how the days leave me behind, and all the nights I drank myself to sleep.

Good Nature
by Turnover

supported by 6 fans who also own “Days Leave”

One of my favorite albums of all time. Turnover really hit a sound here that resonates with me deeply, and I often find myself coming back to this record and falling in love with it all over again. The drums and bass are greatly underrated on this album, creating their own unique melodies that fit within the song and create something new rather than just follow the guitars. Nothing beats the somehow joyful and somber sound of this record. Rob Carpenter
