lyrics
Old college friend just got engaged
A picture of the ring posted on her Facebook page
Another one just had a kid
Everyone's in love and I'm ready to call it quits
I spend my days swiping right
Hoping for a match, somebody to spend the night
The lonely thoughts begin to bloom
"I'm gonna die alone," at this point, I hope it's soon
Money, confidence, and game are all things that I haven't got
Everyone seems to be moving forward while I'm in the exact same spot
Even my mother thinks that her grandkids will be adopted
'Cause I used to know how to be romantic
But now my heart is just as useless as my appendix
I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate
Outside it's such a lovely day
I wouldn't know 'cause I'm still in bed, wasting away
I need a goal, I need a plan
But I don't have the resolve or the attention span
Oh-whoa-oh, the sweet despondency
Of an average life is slowly transforming me into a
Sad sack with bad posture, a miserable monster
And I just can't be bothered to conjure up a panacea
Money, confidence, and game are all things that I haven't got
The world keeps spinning about yet it seems like I'm at a dead stop
I feel disconnected and detached from everybody around
'Cause I used to know how to be a person
But now I'm just a walking disaster and everything's a mess
I'm losing faith in my fate at an alarming rate
Hemorrhaging hope, I'd hang myself if only I could find the rope
White flag, I'm done. Take this life back. I want another one
Yeah, I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate
(Shredsville. Population: Mike Turnwall)
I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate
Hemorrhaging hope, I'd hang myself if only I could find the rope
White flag, I'm done. Take this life back. I want another one
Yeah, I'm losing faith in my fate, in my fate
I'm losing faith (losing faith)
I'm losing faith in my fate

The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
Montreal psych-pop veterans sound as infectious and hypnotic as ever on their seventh LP, slinging jangly riffs and bright vocal harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2024
