I’ve been running For such a long time I may not have any money But I think I’m doing alright I live on the memories you left I live on the dreams we shared And I’m doin’ fine I can’t remember why it was we used to fight But I can’t seem to forget How you would hold me at night I’d give everything I have left I’d be any me that you like If you’d come on home I can’t but wonder Do you dream of me And why’d you leave me guessing What you wanted from me But I can’t get an answer from you And I’m told time will close these wounds So, I’ll be just fine Do you remember When it was you chose to leave And how long did it take For you to tell me But I can’t get an answer from you And I’m told time will close these wounds So, I’ll be just fine Most of the time I’ll be just fine

Let Me In 04:13
I remember the day that I first saw your face I remember the way you looked so sad and beautiful And I could never forget, to this day, the spark I felt so plain I can see you when I close my eyes I can feel your skin upon mine You’ve got beauty inside, it stretches on for miles So simple yet strange and deeper than I’ll ever know But I could never forget to this day the spark I felt so plain I could breathe you in until I fall So you won’t feel no pain at all I could break my heart But that won’t stop me from trying Baby, won’t you let me in your door, your door I’m wasted and I just can’t take much more, much more Baby, won’t you let me in and talk to me ‘bout where I’ve been Baby, won’t you let me in your door, your door Baby, won’t you let me in your door, your door I’m wasted and I just can’t take much more, much more Baby, won’t you let me in and talk to me ‘bout where I’ve been Baby, won’t you let me in your door, your door

It doesn't take that much to see I'm not the one you want Yeah, I see the way you look at her even though you think you're nonchalant. Still, I'll help you keep this one from me--I know that's strange But I can't tell if I love you any more or if I'm afraid of change I feel deranged But I, I never could walk away And you, you never could feel the same You told a story long ago of a girl in pain I can't remember how it ends could you tell it again I remember that she had a bird and I thought it strange 'Cause it was big enough to carry her away and yet she stayed endured the pain But I, I never could walk away And you, you never could feel the same (2x) Could you feel the same I'll stop driving myself insane Could you feel the same Oh could we fall in love again But I, I never could walk away And you, you never could feel the same (2x)

Normal 04:20
Can you tell I’ve spent hours staring at a wall So terrified that I can’t move that I don’t move at all I look at my phone but I don’t know who to call Can you tell that I have days where I don’t feel anything at all And it’s getting darker You’re getting further away And I’m running out of nice, normal things that nice, normal girls say Some days I feel like I’m livin’ in someone else’s skin And I keep sewing on patches so the people can’t see in You ask if I’m alright, but I don’t know how to begin So I tell you that I’m okay, I tell myself don’t give in And it’s getting darker You’re getting further away And I’m running out of nice, normal things that nice, normal girls say Some days I wake up happy, the devil is but a dream Nothing’s quite as daunting as it used to seem I relish the days I can bask in the light ‘Cause I know that Dark’s coming back and he’s looking for a fight And it’s getting darker You’re getting further away And I’m running out of nice, normal things that nice, normal girls say And it’s getting darker You’re getting further away And I’m running out of nice, normal things that nice, normal girls say Don’t give up Don’t give in Just wait for the sun to rise again Don’t give up Don’t give in I promise the sun will rise again

It’s been so long I’d forgotten that I never really hated you It’s been so long I can’t even tell you when I dated you It’s been so long the other day I forgot your name It’s been so long that nothing and no one is the same And if you saw me walking by Would you even know me to say hi We could grab a coffee but, honestly, why ‘Cause we don’t know each other anymore I can’t remember how we met I really don’t remember much of it I remember I thought you were nice And I only thought differently maybe once or twice And if I saw you walking by Would I even know you to say hi We could grab a coffee but, honestly, why ‘Cause we don’t know each other anymore And if you saw me walking by Would you even know me to say hi We could grab a coffee but, honestly, why ‘Cause we don’t know each other anymore No we don’t know each other anymore We don’t know each other anymore It’s possible that we never really knew before No we don’t know each other anymore

Living Blind 04:06
They cannot hear me when I whisper But they don’t listen if I yell They say the truth is unbecoming When you promised you would never tell Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die At least I won’t be living blind Maybe I was born to keep their secrets Never really meant to have my own Maybe my birthright is to wander Never really finding home Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die At least I won’t be living blind Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die Lay me down, let me die At least I won’t be living blind No, you won’t catch me living blind

I wish we lived in a fantastic world Where I was never born and cupid was a girl And tears taste of lemonade and erase your memories But where will I get having thoughts like these I wish we led fantastic lives Where chocolate came with sprinkles and fishes never died They just swam ‘round lonely in their bowls and thick in the seas But where will I get having thoughts like these I wish we had a fantastic love Where you couldn’t live without me and you called me turtledove Where just a single glance made me weak in the knees But where will I get having thoughts like these I wish that I wished for less It would probably help my headaches and to mitigate my stress It would probably put my mind at ease But I’m getting fucking nowhere having thoughts like these I’m getting fucking nowhere having thoughts like these

Pretend 03:38
You can tell me that you’re sorry And, of course, I know you’re lying But I pretend that you are trying I pretend it doesn’t hurt If you’ve done it once, you’ve done it one thousand times You always find the tears when you’ve crossed a line Every time is the last time Well here we are again You can tell me that you’re sorry And, of course, I know you’re lying But I pretend that you are trying I pretend it doesn’t hurt Don’t know why I chose you to believe Would you really die if I tried to leave You don’t seem to like me So how can you love me You can tell me that you’re sorry And, of course, I know you’re lying But I pretend that you are trying I pretend it doesn’t hurt I pretend it doesn’t hurt I pretend it doesn’t ... I pretend ...

You pushed me out and you watched me drown You couldn’t risk letting me in My eyes were blue, though my skin was brown I was wearing nothing save my sin You can go now ‘cause I don’t need you anymore You can go now ‘case I don’t want you anymore You can go now ‘cause I don’t love you anymore I don’t need you to say you’re sorry anymore We all make mistakes, but you failed to learn You can’t strike a match and wonder why it burns You never cared if you made me cry Now I’ve nothing left and you wonder why You can go now ‘cause I don’t need you anymore You can go now ‘case I don’t want you anymore You can go now ‘cause I don’t love you anymore I don’t need you to say you’re sorry anymore I don’t think you’re sorry no matter who you say it to and I don’t think you’re sorry ‘cause you cannot see beyond you and I don’t think you're sorry and I cannot believe you anymore I don’t think you’re sorry I don’t think you’re sorry I don’t care if you’re sorry You can go now ‘cause I don’t need you anymore You can go now ‘case I don’t want you anymore You can go now ‘cause I don’t love you anymore I don’t need you to say you’re sorry anymore

about

The second release from Wet Eyed Liars is an emotional and powerful dreamscape of sound that evokes anger, sadness, and reluctant happiness with gritty alternative rock bangers, dark-poppy tunes, and screeching guitar solos filled with so much reverb it might as well be shoegaze.

These songs are conversations that were never had with a specific someone. They tell the story of the source of a half a lifetime of struggles with relationships and finding love in oneself through trauma, pain, depression, and deceit.

This is the part of the journey where you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but your legs are tired and you just want to rest, but you know you need to keep pushing until the end or you won't make it out.
