lyrics

I’m next at the nexus.
I’m an ex, I’m in ecstasy.
Abreast of some clenched fist-
a thing that perplexes me.

Teenage screaming in the bathroom.
Wouldn’t want to be that way again.

Round faced midwesterners,
better looking than me.
I’ve hit the maximum,
about as smart as I can be.

Always running around.
Always staring at someone.
Always flat on my back.
Always chewing on my tongue.

Even the ear it calls
When I hear the phone ring.
Pay for my lessons and
maybe i’ll learn how to sing.

Adult yelling in the hallway.
This is what I dreamed it’d be.
Love is kicking in the stomach.
Love is hating me as much as I hate me.

(Na x 54)

Round faced midwesterners.
God, they’re nicer than me.
I’ve hid the maximum,
so much that I can’t even see.

I see your face again.
I know I’ve gotta leave.
Step on my chest again,
maybe I’ll learn how to breathe.

about

Middle Relief New Jersey

Like so many other things, Middle Relief was borne out of the curious need for a creative outlet for a bunch of dudes in a suburban New Jersey basement.
